This document is an email thread among US Attorney's Office (SDNY) staff regarding a court order from Judge Engelmayer in the case of United States v. Justin Rivera. The Judge required the BOP to explain why Ghislaine Maxwell (detained at MDC) received significantly better access to legal counsel and laptops than Rivera (detained at MCC), specifically citing 'terrible optics' and potential disparity based on class/race. The emails detail the drafting of a declaration to explain that the differences are due to Maxwell's protective custody status and the sheer volume of discovery in her case, compared to Rivera's placement in the general population.
