This legal document, filed by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, details the security and search procedures for a specific defendant at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC). It outlines daily pat-down and cell searches, weekly body scans, and frequent nightly wellness checks, justifying them as necessary for the safety of the institution and the defendant. The document also notes a recent change to reduce searches by relocating the defendant's video conferences with her counsel to within her unit.

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.
