This legal document, filed on June 15, 2021, is a letter from attorney Bobbi C. Sternheim to the Court concerning her client, Ms. Maxwell. Sternheim complains about the recurring problematic conditions, over-management, and hyper-surveillance Ms. Maxwell faces at the MDC, arguing it impedes trial preparation and violates attorney-client privilege. The letter supports its claims by quoting Judge McMahon from another case, who strongly condemned the "disgusting, inhuman" conditions at the MCC and MDC and blamed the incompetence of the Department of Justice and Bureau of Prisons.

This legal document, filed by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, details the security and search procedures for a specific defendant at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC). It outlines daily pat-down and cell searches, weekly body scans, and frequent nightly wellness checks, justifying them as necessary for the safety of the institution and the defendant. The document also notes a recent change to reduce searches by relocating the defendant's video conferences with her counsel to within her unit.
DOJ-OGR-00020105.jpg
This document is the table of contents for a legal filing on behalf of Ms. Maxwell, dated December 23, 2020, likely related to a bail application. The arguments outlined challenge the government's case by highlighting its reliance on limited witness testimony, asserting Ms. Maxwell's strong ties to the U.S. (including her spouse), her full financial disclosure for a bond, and the low probability of her being a flight risk. The filing also leverages a recent COVID surge at the MDC facility as an additional reason for granting bail.
DOJ-OGR-00020095.jpg
This legal document, part of a court filing, is the Government's argument against a defendant's release from the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC). The Government contends that the MDC has adequately addressed the defendant's complaints regarding diet and security searches, and that its COVID-19 precautions were effective, as the defendant was quarantined and tested negative after a potential exposure. The filing concludes that since the defendant has no underlying health conditions, the pandemic does not warrant her release.
DOJ-OGR-00020094.jpg
This document is a page from a Government court filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN, likely USA v. Maxwell) dated December 18, 2020. It addresses defense complaints regarding discovery access, noting that one hard drive malfunctioned because the defendant dropped it, and details her special confinement conditions at the MDC, which include 13 hours out of cell, private shower, computers, phone, and TV. A footnote highlights a contradiction in the defense's arguments regarding the value of discovery versus the prejudice caused by delays.
DOJ-OGR-00020093.jpg
This legal document, filed by the Government, refutes the defense's claim that the defendant cannot adequately prepare for trial while detained at the MDC. The Government outlines the measures taken to ensure access to discovery materials and legal counsel, including providing hard drives, a dedicated laptop, and arranging for daily video calls with her lawyer. The document argues that these provisions, despite pandemic-related restrictions, are sufficient for trial preparation.
DOJ-OGR-00020058.jpg
This document is page 38 of a legal filing (filed Jan 21, 2021) arguing for Ghislaine Maxwell's release on bail.

DOJ-OGR-00020055.jpg
This document is page 35 of a legal filing (Document 102) dated December 14, 2020, arguing for Ghislaine Maxwell's release on bail. The defense asserts she is not a flight risk and argues that her current detention at the MDC constitutes 'de facto solitary confinement' under conditions rivaling a Supermax prison, which impairs her ability to prepare her defense. The text cites United States v. Orta regarding bail standards and claims wardens have noted the unprecedented nature of her restrictive regime.
DOJ-OGR-00005235.jpg
This document is Page 2 of a Government filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE, filed 10/15/21) addressing defense complaints regarding legal mail delays at the MDC. The Government argues that a request for 1-day mail turnaround is burdensome given the facility houses 1,700 inmates. It details the timeline of a specific hard drive delivery: sent Oct 11, received Oct 12, delayed Oct 13 due to an 'institutional emergency,' and personally delivered to the defendant by MDC legal counsel on Oct 14, 2021.
DOJ-OGR-00020377.jpg
This legal document is a filing by the Government in response to an appeal by Maxwell regarding her pretrial confinement conditions. The Government argues that Maxwell's complaints about disruptive nighttime flashlight checks are unsubstantiated and do not demonstrably interfere with her trial preparation. The document also refutes Maxwell's accusations of misrepresentation, clarifying a statement made by Government counsel and explaining an acknowledged inaccuracy in information received from the MDC.
DOJ-OGR-00020374.jpg
This legal document, part of a court filing, argues that a 'renewed motion' from a defendant named Maxwell is meritless. It cites legal precedents (United States v. Hochevar, Stack v. Boyle) and procedural rules to assert that the motion is not properly before the court. The document further states that a lower court judge, Judge Nathan, did not err in previously finding three times that Maxwell is a flight risk and denying bail.
DOJ-OGR-00020370.jpg
This page from a legal filing (Case 21-58) argues that Ghislaine Maxwell's motion should be denied. It details Judge Nathan's previous findings that MDC's security protocols—specifically regarding night monitoring and eye coverings—do not interfere with Maxwell's trial preparation. The document affirms that previous denials of bail and release have been upheld.
DOJ-OGR-00020368.jpg
This document page, part of a legal filing from May 2021, details the Government's response to Judge Nathan regarding 'flashlight surveillance' of Ghislaine Maxwell at the MDC. It explains that while general population inmates are checked hourly and SHU inmates every 30 minutes, Maxwell is checked every 15 minutes due to an 'enhanced security schedule' and 'heightened safety and security concerns,' despite not being on suicide watch.
DOJ-OGR-00020367.jpg
This legal document outlines the procedural history of a case involving a defendant named Maxwell. After Maxwell appealed two of Judge Nathan's bail decisions and was denied pretrial release on April 27, 2021, she did not file a renewed motion. Instead, on April 29, 2021, she submitted a letter to Judge Nathan requesting the court to order the MDC to stop or justify the 15-minute light surveillance that was disrupting her sleep.
DOJ-OGR-00020332.jpg
This document is page 8 of a legal filing (Case 21-58) dated May 17, 2021, arguing against the mistreatment of Ms. Maxwell, specifically regarding sleep deprivation and accusations about hygiene. The defense argues that the government misrepresented facts by claiming Maxwell caused a smell in her cell by not flushing, while the defense asserts the smell was due to MDC infrastructure issues. This claim is supported by testimony from another inmate, Tiffany Days, who described a 'feces flood' at the facility.
DOJ-OGR-00020328.jpg
This document is page 4 of a legal filing (Case 21-58) dated May 17, 2021, arguing for Ghislaine Maxwell's release on bond due to 'horrific conditions' at the MDC. The text details specific grievances, including sleep deprivation by guards every 15 minutes, contaminated brown water, sewage smells in her unit, and the video/audio recording of privileged meetings with her attorneys. The filing asserts that these conditions make it impossible for her to prepare for trial and that she is not being treated like similarly situated pre-trial detainees.
DOJ-OGR-00020319.jpg
This document is page 4 of a legal filing by the Law Offices of Bobbi C. Sternheim on behalf of Ghislaine Maxwell, filed on April 7, 2021.

DOJ-OGR-00020317.jpg
This document is page 2 of a legal filing by attorney Bobbi C. Sternheim regarding the detention conditions of Ghislaine Maxwell at the MDC East Building.

It also notes that a request for a legal call regarding pretrial motions was denied.
