This document is Page 2 of a legal filing (Document 220) from the US Attorney's Office (SDNY) dated March 5, 2021, regarding the incarceration conditions of the defendant (contextually Ghislaine Maxwell). It addresses safety concerns necessitating her isolation and responds to a court inquiry by stating that MDC cannot provide an eye mask as it is considered contraband, though she may use other items. A footnote clarifies that her current housing was determined partly due to her own safety concerns regarding the general population and as an alternative to the SHU.

In this court order from May 14, 2021, Judge Alison J. Nathan denies Ghislaine Maxwell's request to override the Bureau of Prisons' security protocols regarding frequent safety checks and the prohibition of eye masks at the MDC. The Judge rules the request unsubstantiated but urges the MDC to consider reducing sleep disruption and ensures Maxwell is only subjected to necessary security protocols consistent with similarly situated detainees. The order is part of Case 1:20-cr-00330.

DOJ-OGR-00001417.jpg

This legal document, part of a court filing, argues that Ms. Maxwell is being subjected to abusive and inhumane conditions by the Bureau of Prisons (BOP).

DOJ-OGR-00001391.jpg

This page from a legal filing by the Law Offices of Bobbi C. Sternheim argues that recent voluminous discovery materials, including witness interviews, contain exculpatory information for Ms. Maxwell that requires significant time to investigate. The defense disputes the government's claim that no additional time is needed, asserting that millions of pages from Epstein's devices, previously irrelevant, are now pertinent due to the expanded scope of the superseding indictment.

DOJ-OGR-00001230.jpg

This legal document is a court ruling denying a defendant's release from the MDC, a detention facility experiencing a significant COVID-19 outbreak. The Court acknowledges the health risks but ultimately finds that the defendant poses a substantial flight risk and has no underlying health conditions that would justify release. The Court also determines that a new hearing is unnecessary, as the reasons from a prior hearing on July 14, 2020, still apply.

DOJ-OGR-00001229.jpg

This legal document is a court ruling denying a defendant's request for release from pre-trial detention. The Court finds that the government has shown the defendant is a flight risk and rejects her argument that her conditions of confinement, including a recent COVID-19 lockdown, unconstitutionally interfere with her ability to prepare her defense. The Court concludes she has been given adequate time and resources to communicate with her attorneys.

DOJ-OGR-00001199.jpg

This document is a page from a defense filing (Reply Memorandum) dated December 28, 2020, arguing for Ghislaine Maxwell's release on bail. The defense counters flight risk arguments by noting Maxwell has not lived in the UK or France for 30 years and cites the recent arrest of associate Jean-Luc Brunel in France as a deterrent to fleeing there. Additionally, the filing argues that a COVID-19 surge at the MDC and potential suspension of legal communications threaten Maxwell's health and constitutional rights.

This document is the Table of Contents for a legal filing (likely a reply brief in support of a bail motion) filed on December 23, 2020, in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell. The defense argues that the government's case is weak (relying on only three witnesses), that Maxwell has substantial ties to the US (including a spouse whose name is redacted), that she has disclosed all finances for bond, and that the COVID surge at the MDC justifies her release. It also refutes the claim that she is a flight risk or that extradition from France or the UK would be refused.
