This document is a page from a legal filing dated April 12, 2021, arguing against Ghislaine Maxwell's request for temporary release.

This document is a page from a legal filing (dated March 23, 2021) arguing for Ghislaine Maxwell's release on bail, citing the Reform Act and proposing a strict bail package including an eight-figure bond, renunciation of foreign citizenship, and asset monitoring by a retired judge. The text argues that her continued detention impairs her ability to prepare for trial and subjects her to a 'trial by public opinion.' A lengthy footnote details poor detention conditions at the MDC, including delayed legal mail, technical issues with electronic discovery, and ventilation issues in visiting rooms characterized by an expert as a 'death trap.'
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.
DOJ-OGR-00001187.jpg
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.
DOJ-OGR-00001177.jpg
This legal document, filed by the Government, argues against the release of a defendant from the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC). The filing asserts that the MDC has adequately addressed the defendant's complaints about her diet and security searches, and that precautionary measures taken after a potential COVID-19 exposure were effective. The Government concludes that because the defendant has no underlying health conditions, the pandemic does not warrant her release.
DOJ-OGR-00001176.jpg
This page from a government legal filing addresses defense complaints regarding discovery access and confinement conditions. The government asserts that a hard drive malfunction was caused by the defendant dropping it and that she currently has full access to materials. It also defends her confinement conditions at the MDC, detailing privileges such as 13 hours out of cell daily, private shower, computer access, and television, arguing these are superior to general population conditions.
DOJ-OGR-00001175.jpg
This legal document, filed by the Government, argues that the defendant housed at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) has been given sufficient resources to prepare for trial, refuting a defense claim to the contrary. The filing details the defendant's access to discovery materials via hard drives, a dedicated laptop, and a desktop computer, as well as arrangements for regular video and phone calls with her legal counsel. It asserts that these accommodations, even with pandemic-related restrictions, are adequate for trial preparation.
DOJ-OGR-00001139.jpg
This legal document outlines two major impediments to Ms. Maxwell's defense preparation. Firstly, it details persistent technical failures with discovery materials provided by the government, including broken and malfunctioning hard drives, which have left her without access to readable evidence for over four months. Secondly, it describes the added burdens of a 14-day COVID-19 quarantine and heightened exposure risk at the MDC due to contact with untested staff, further limiting her ability to review case materials and prepare for trial.
DOJ-OGR-00001137.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 argues she is not a flight risk and that her current detention at the MDC constitutes 'de facto solitary confinement' under conditions more severe than USP Florence ADMAX, hindering her ability to prepare her defense. It claims prison wardens have noted the unprecedented nature of her restrictive regime.
DOJ-OGR-00001114.jpg
This document is page 12 of a legal filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN) supporting a bail application for Ghislaine Maxwell. It emphasizes her strong family ties to the United States, specifically her marriage to a heavily redacted individual. The text explains that her husband did not co-sign her first bail application to protect himself from 'ferocious media aggression,' but is now coming forward with full financial support due to concerns over her treatment at the MDC.
DOJ-OGR-00001107.jpg
This legal document argues for Ms. Maxwell to be released on restrictive bail. Her defense contends that the government's case lacks corroborating evidence, relies on old testimony, and that her oppressive confinement conditions at the MDC, including a COVID-19 outbreak, are unjust and impede her ability to prepare her defense. The filing also asserts she is not a flight risk, citing expert opinions on extradition from the UK and France.
DOJ-OGR-00001094.jpg
This legal document, dated April 1, 2021, addresses the issue of attorney-client access for detainees at a federal facility (MDC). It argues that current measures, such as video and phone conferences, are sufficient for defendants like Ms. Maxwell to prepare their defense, especially given the ongoing pandemic in New York City. The court orders the government to work with the defense to ensure adequate communication, noting that the MDC is also planning to resume in-person visits in the near future.
DOJ-OGR-00001093.jpg
This document is a page from a court transcript dated April 1, 2021, concerning United States v. Maxwell. The judge is ruling against Ms. Maxwell's motion for release, stating that unlike other cases, she has not argued specific health vulnerabilities to COVID-19.

DOJ-OGR-00001070.jpg
This document is a page from a court transcript dated April 1, 2021, featuring defense attorney Mr. Cohen addressing the Court. Cohen requests more time to arrange sureties for a bail package, citing extreme difficulties caused by his client's (implied to be Ghislaine Maxwell) harsh detention conditions at the MDC. He describes these conditions as equivalent to solitary confinement, including constant lighting, isolation, lack of showers, and confiscation of legal materials.
DOJ-OGR-00001009.jpg
This document is a page from a court transcript (filed April 1, 2021) documenting a videoconference hearing involving Ghislaine Maxwell and her attorney, Mr. Cohen.

DOJ-OGR-00001002.jpg
This legal document, filed on June 15, 2020, argues against a defendant's request for temporary release by citing two recent S.D.N.Y. precedents (involving Gonzalez and Eley) where release was denied due to trials not being imminent. The filing also asserts that the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) has been responsive and accommodating to defense counsel's requests for client access, undermining the claim that release is necessary for trial preparation.
DOJ-OGR-00000968.jpg
This document is page 12 of a legal filing (Document 18, filed July 10, 2020) in the case United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell. Defense counsel argues for Maxwell's release on bail, citing the inability to effectively communicate with her due to MDC's COVID-19 protocols, which restrict in-person visits and delay phone calls. The text details a specific incident on July 6, 2020, where counsel struggled to connect with Maxwell to comply with a court order, and footnotes cite legal precedents where other defendants were released due to similar pandemic-related restrictions.
