This is a letter dated April 7, 2021, from attorney Bobbi C. Sternheim to Judge Alison J. Nathan regarding the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. The letter strongly objects to the conditions of Ms. Maxwell's pretrial detention at the MDC, describing them as a form of "'pay-it-forward' punishment." It details a recent incident involving a pervasive sewage stench in her unit and argues that the government's portrayal of her confinement as superior is inaccurate and misses the point of her overly restrictive and unwarranted detention.

It details the conditions of the defendant's confinement at the MDC, specifically highlighting that she is separated from her isolation cell from 7am to 8pm daily with access to electronics and showers. The text extensively describes the protocols for attorney-client communications, noting she receives 25 hours of private VTC calls per week, and clarifies that surveillance cameras monitor the door but do not record the audio or visual content of these legal meetings.
DOJ-OGR-00002731.jpg
This legal document, filed on February 16, 2021, is a letter from attorney Bobbi C. Sternheim concerning the detention conditions of her client, Ms. Maxwell. Sternheim argues that Maxwell's harsh treatment at the MDC, including constant surveillance and deprivation, is a detrimental overreaction by the Bureau of Prisons following Jeffrey Epstein's death. The letter claims these conditions are severely impacting Maxwell's health and her ability to prepare for her defense, amounting to what Maxwell feels is "Pretrial Punishment."

This document is page 3 of a legal filing dated October 18, 2021, addressed to Judge Alison J. Nathan regarding the case of Ghislaine Maxwell. The defense argues they have received voluminous discovery materials (over 14,000 pages) from the government very recently (Oct 11-12), leaving insufficient time to review them before filing motions in limine. The document details the logistics of the hard drive deliveries to counsel in New York and Colorado, and to Ms. Maxwell at the MDC, while noting that some materials provided to Maxwell were incomplete.
DOJ-OGR-00005244.jpg
This legal document, filed by the Government, responds to a request from defense counsel for expedited delivery of legal mail to a defendant held at the MDC. The Government argues against the request, citing the burden on the MDC's legal department, and details a timeline of events where a hard drive delivery was delayed by one day due to an 'institutional emergency' at the facility on October 13, 2021.

DOJ-OGR-00005230.jpg
This legal filing from Ms. Maxwell's defense counsel, Bobbi C. Sternheim, argues that Ms. Maxwell's right to prepare her defense has been compromised. The document details how the Government refused to hand-deliver a hard drive of evidence to the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC), instead using FedEx, and how the MDC then delayed giving the materials to Ms. Maxwell for several days. Counsel requests the Court's intervention due to the MDC's alleged inefficiency and mishandling of legal mail.

A letter dated October 14, 2021, from defense attorney Bobbi C. Sternheim to Judge Alison J. Nathan requesting a court order to compel the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) to deliver legal mail to Ghislaine Maxwell within 24 hours of receipt. Sternheim details specific incidents of delay, including a hard drive withheld for two days and legal mail deposited on October 2 that was not discovered until October 7. The letter also alleges potential evidence tampering, noting a 'questionable bar code sticker' found on legal mail that the MDC Unit Manager eventually returned to counsel.

This is page 2 of a court filing by the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN). The document addresses the Court's inquiries regarding the defendant's housing conditions at the MDC. It explains that she is housed alone due to safety concerns ('high-profile case', 'nature of charges') and her own expressed fears of the general population. It also states that the MDC cannot provide her with an eye mask because they are considered contraband, though she may use other non-contraband items to cover her eyes.
DOJ-OGR-00020348.jpg
A letter from attorney Bobbi C. Sternheim to Judge Alison J. Nathan regarding United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. The letter raises concerns about Maxwell's conditions of confinement at the MDC, specifically sleep deprivation caused by guards checking her with flashlights every 15 minutes. It also reports a recent incident where Maxwell developed a 'black eye' of unknown origin, leading to threats of punishment (SHU) by MDC staff if she did not explain the injury.
DOJ-OGR-00020346.jpg
This is page 2 of a court order by Judge Alison J. Nathan dated May 14, 2021, in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell. The order denies Maxwell's request to override BOP security check protocols, stating the request is unsubstantiated, but urges the MDC to consider reducing sleep disruption and admonishes them to ensure protocols are neutral and necessary. The document references previous letters from defense counsel regarding detention conditions.
DOJ-OGR-00011614.jpg
This document is page 95 of a court transcript from the sentencing of Ghislaine Maxwell on July 22, 2022. The judge rejects Maxwell's claims regarding poor treatment at the MDC and lack of preparation time, noting a pattern of dishonesty and 'deflection of blame' consistent with her perjury in a civil deposition. While acknowledging that Maxwell and her attorney Ms. Sternheim expressed sympathy for the victims' suffering, the judge emphasizes that Maxwell failed to express acceptance of responsibility.
DOJ-OGR-00011613.jpg
This document is a page from a court transcript dated July 22, 2022, in which a judge discusses sentencing factors for a defendant, Ms. Maxwell. The judge acknowledges that conditions at the MDC (Metropolitan Detention Center) have been extremely difficult for all inmates due to the pandemic, and that Ms. Maxwell faced additional surveillance as a high-profile defendant. However, the judge explicitly rejects the defense's argument that Ms. Maxwell was singled out for uniquely harsh and punishing treatment.
DOJ-OGR-00011602.jpg
This document is a page from a court transcript, likely from a sentencing hearing for a defendant named Ms. Maxwell, filed on July 22, 2022. The speaker, presumably her attorney, argues for a lenient sentence by highlighting her age (over 60), lack of prior criminal history, and positive contributions while incarcerated, such as tutoring fellow inmates in the MDC. The attorney contrasts her good character with the 'terrible conduct' for which she is being sentenced.
