This document is a letter motion filed by Ghislaine Maxwell's defense attorney, Christian Everdell, on April 30, 2021, requesting Judge Alison Nathan to order the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) to accept two hard drives containing discovery materials for Maxwell's review. The defense argues the current format of 2.2 million pages is difficult to navigate, and they have reorganized the files to be more user-friendly. Judge Nathan granted the order on May 3, 2021, with a stipulation allowing MDC counsel to submit objections by May 4, 2021.

This legal document, a letter from the law office of Bobbi C. Sternheim, argues that their client, Ghislaine Maxwell, is being subjected to "draconian" and punitive pretrial detention conditions. The letter posits that these harsh measures are not related to Maxwell's own conduct but are a direct result of the government's attempt to repair its reputation following the suicide of Jeffrey Epstein in federal custody. The attorney details failed attempts to resolve these issues through internal prison channels and claims the conditions are impeding Maxwell's ability to prepare her legal defense.

This legal document, filed by the Acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, addresses the court regarding the stringent and individualized detention conditions of a detainee, Ms. Maxwell. The filing notes that a previous letter of complaint received no meaningful response and suggests that the facility's warden, Warden Tellez, should be directed to provide a first-hand explanation to the court for these specialized conditions.

This legal document, filed on behalf of Ms. Maxwell, argues that her pretrial detention conditions at the MDC are excessively punitive and inappropriate. Her counsel asserts these conditions—including de facto solitary confinement and constant surveillance—are an overreaction to Epstein's death, are disproportionate for a non-violent detainee, and are impeding her ability to prepare a defense. The document references multiple unsuccessful attempts by counsel to remedy the situation through communication with the MDC, its legal department, and prosecutors.

This is page 2 of a legal filing from the US Attorney's Office for the SDNY regarding the detention conditions of Ghislaine Maxwell. The prosecutors argue that Warden Tellez should provide a first-hand accounting of why Maxwell is subject to strict surveillance measures (body scans, flashlight checks) despite 24/7 camera monitoring, noting that the MDC Legal Department would only provide second-hand information.
