19. On May 5, 2021, the Government submitted a letter to Judge
Nathan conveying MDC legal counsel’s answers to the District Court’s questions.
(Mot. Ex. D). First, the Government confirmed that all inmates at the MDC are
subject to some form of flashlight checks throughout the night for their safety and
security. In particular, MDC staff point a flashlight at the ceiling of each cell in
order to illuminate the cell enough to confirm that each inmate “is present in the cell,
breathing, and not in distress.” (Id. at 1). MDC staff conduct such checks every
30 minutes in the Special Housing Unit (“SHU”), and approximately once per hour
for inmates housed in general population. (Id.). Because Maxwell is on an
enhanced security schedule, MDC staff conduct these nighttime checks on her every
15 minutes. (Id.). Second, the Government conveyed that the MDC has
determined that, although Maxwell is not on suicide watch, increased frequency of
nighttime monitoring is warranted in her case due to several factors that “raise
heightened safety and security concerns,” including the charges she faces, the
