The letter details her extensive access to discovery review (13 hours/day), attorney communications (25 hours VTC/week), and specific search protocols including strip searches and body scans.

This document is an email chain from November 1-2, 2020, detailing a complaint from Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney, Bobbi Sternheim, regarding prison conditions at the MDC. Sternheim alleges the cell is cold, smells of sewage, has moisture issues, and that Maxwell was denied basic items like a water mug and extra blanket. Government officials investigated and responded internally that temperature checks showed the cell was 71-74 degrees (warmer than the 68-degree target), no moisture or smell was found, and she was provided an extra blanket.

The document also responds to a specific complaint from the defendant's counsel on February 16, 2021, stating that an internal investigation found the search in question was appropriate and video-recorded, and that a subsequent directive for the defendant to clean her cell was due to hygiene issues, not retaliation.

DOJ-OGR-00020369.jpg
This document is page 11 of a court filing dated May 27, 2021, concerning Ghislaine Maxwell's confinement conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC). It details the Government's response regarding Maxwell's request for an eye mask and a dispute over nighttime flashlight checks. Judge Nathan denied Maxwell's request to modify the monitoring schedule on May 14, 2021, noting that Maxwell's claims were unsupported by an affidavit and that flashlight checks are standard procedure for all inmates.
DOJ-OGR-00020331.jpg
This legal document argues that the government misrepresented information to the court regarding the treatment of inmate Ms. Maxwell. The government initially claimed that flashlight checks every 15 minutes were a routine procedure, but later admitted in a letter that Ms. Maxwell is the only inmate subjected to this treatment. The document contends this is a form of mistreatment being justified without proper evidence, such as an affidavit.
DOJ-OGR-00002905.jpg
