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. It also notes she was weighed on June 3, 2021, at 138 pounds, and receives wellness checks every 15 minutes at night.
EFTA00015913.pdf
An email from Ghislaine Maxwell's defense team (likely to prosecutors/USANYS) dated December 30, 2020, complaining about conditions at the MDC. The email disputes MDC Legal's claim that Maxwell is not being directed to stand in specific spots, alleging guards enforced strict positioning rules under threat of sanction on December 29. The email also raises issues about Maxwell not receiving menu-designated food and technical failures with discovery discs on the MDC computer.
EFTA00015835.pdf
An email dated August 22, 2021, discussing a draft letter to Judge 'AJN' (likely Alison J. Nathan) regarding Ghislaine Maxwell's complaints about VTC (Video Teleconference) access at the MDC (Metropolitan Detention Center). The sender notes a deadline of the following day and mentions coordinating with MDC legal counsel for review.
EFTA00013303.pdf
This document contains an email exchange dated December 30, 2020, between an Assistant US Attorney (SDNY) and Ghislaine Maxwell's defense team. The defense attorney complains that contrary to MDC Legal's claims, Maxwell is being subjected to strict movement restrictions within her isolation cell by guards, specifically regarding where she can stand. The email also raises issues about Maxwell not receiving menu-designated food and technical failures with a discovery disc on the MDC computer.
DOJ-OGR-00001815.jpg
This document is the final page of a Government filing (dated Oct 30, 2020) regarding the detention conditions and discovery process for the defendant (Ghislaine Maxwell) at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC). The Government argues against the need for a court order regarding MDC issues, citing that protocols are already in place for passing papers, COVID-19 safety (Plexiglas barriers), and laptop viewing. The filing asserts that the defendant has access to discovery materials for approximately 13 hours a day—more than any other inmate—and details technical efforts to resolve file viewing issues mentioned in a footnote.
DOJ-OGR-00001810.jpg
This document is page 6 of a legal filing dated October 23, 2020, addressed to Judge Alison J. Nathan from Ghislaine Maxwell's defense team. The text details significant ongoing technical failures at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) regarding Maxwell's ability to access discovery materials on provided hard drives. Despite multiple letters and conference calls between August and October 2020, the Government and MDC IT staff failed to provide a functional computer or readable files, severely impairing Maxwell's ability to prepare her defense.
DOJ-OGR-00001450.jpg
This document is page 10 of a court filing from May 27, 2021, discussing the conditions of Ghislaine Maxwell's confinement at the MDC. It details a May 5, 2021, letter from the Government to Judge Nathan explaining that Maxwell is subject to flashlight checks every 15 minutes due to an 'enhanced security schedule,' compared to every 30 minutes for SHU inmates and hourly for general population. The document asserts these checks are for safety purposes, specifically to ensure the inmate is breathing and not in distress, noting that while Maxwell is not on suicide watch, her high-profile charges warrant increased monitoring.
DOJ-OGR-00001412.jpg
This page from a legal document, dated May 17, 2021, argues that defendant Ghislaine Maxwell is enduring 'tortuous conditions' during her 10-month detention at MDC Brooklyn.

The filing quotes MDC legal counsel stating Maxwell cannot be provided with an eye mask.
DOJ-OGR-00001362.jpg
This legal document, page 4 of a court filing, describes the search and wellness check procedures applied to a defendant at the MDC facility. It details daily pat-down searches, cell searches, and frequent nightly flashlight checks for safety. 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-00001359.jpg
This document is a letter from the U.S. Attorney to Judge Alison J. Nathan providing an update on Ghislaine Maxwell's confinement conditions at the MDC. The Government asserts that Maxwell receives exceptional access to discovery materials (13 hours/day, 7 days/week) via both a laptop and desktop. A footnote addresses complaints regarding missing emails, stating that an investigation revealed Maxwell deleted or archived them herself, with no evidence of MDC staff misconduct.
DOJ-OGR-00001355.jpg
A letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office to Judge Alison J. Nathan dated February 1, 2021, regarding the conditions of Ghislaine Maxwell's confinement at the MDC. The Government addresses a dispute over Maxwell's access to a laptop for reviewing over two million pages of discovery materials on weekends and holidays. While the Government does not object to the access, they defer to MDC management protocols, noting that Maxwell already receives more review time (13 hours/day, 7 days/week) than any other inmate.
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-00002196(1).jpg
This legal document, filed by the Government, argues against a defendant's release from the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC). It asserts that the MDC provides adequate care, including meals and medical checks, and that the security searches she complains about are standard procedure. The document also dismisses COVID-19 concerns, noting the defendant was quarantined and tested negative after a potential exposure and has no underlying health conditions, making her release unwarranted.
DOJ-OGR-00002194.jpg
This legal document, filed on December 18, 2020, is a response from the Government arguing that the defendant, housed at the MDC, has adequate resources to prepare for trial. It refutes the defense's claim to the contrary by detailing provisions such as daily VTC calls with counsel, access to discovery on hard drives, and the provision of a dedicated laptop. The document also explains how access to this equipment is managed within the MDC, including during a recent period of quarantine.
DOJ-OGR-00010586.jpg
This page from a Government sentencing memorandum (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE) argues that Ghislaine Maxwell received preferential treatment at the MDC, including private amenities and access to counsel, refuting her claims of harsh conditions. It highlights inconsistencies in her complaints regarding general population and COVID-19 restrictions. A footnote addresses a 'credible death threat' claim, revealing it was merely an inmate's hypothetical remark about killing Maxwell for a million dollars, which an investigation deemed not credible.
DOJ-OGR-00010584.jpg
This document is a Government filing addressing Ghislaine Maxwell's complaints regarding her confinement conditions at the MDC. It refutes claims about discovery access, clarifying that she was provided a laptop and ample attorney visits. It also addresses email deletions (attributing them to BOP policy or Maxwell's own actions), legal mail delivery, and justifies nighttime flashlight checks as standard safety procedures for all inmates.
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-00020330.jpg
This page from a legal document, dated May 17, 2021, argues that the defendant, Ghislaine Maxwell, is enduring torturous conditions at MDC Brooklyn. It claims she is deprived of sleep due to flashlight searches every 15 minutes and is denied an eye mask, forcing her to use a sock or towel. The document includes before-and-after photos to show her physical decline after 10 months in custody.
DOJ-OGR-00002905.jpg
This document is page 5 of a legal filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE) dated April 6, 2021, addressing the confinement conditions of the defendant (Ghislaine Maxwell). It details that her meals are heated in thermal ovens and defends the quality of tap water at the MDC, noting that staff drink the same water and bottled water is provided during maintenance. The filing also reports on the defendant's health, stating she is weighed weekly (fluctuating between 130s and 140s lbs), has a normal BMI, has not experienced hair loss, and is fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
DOJ-OGR-00002901.jpg
This document is a letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office (SDNY) to Judge Alison J. Nathan updating the court on Ghislaine Maxwell's confinement conditions at the MDC. It states that Maxwell receives 13 hours of discovery review time daily (more than any other inmate) with access to both a laptop and desktop. A footnote addresses complaints about missing emails, clarifying that an MDC investigation found Maxwell deleted them herself or archived them, rather than staff deleting them.
DOJ-OGR-00020354.jpg
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.
