It references testimony by Acting Commissioner Kathleen Hawks Sawyer regarding these staffing issues.

This document is page 25 of a defense filing arguing for Ghislaine Maxwell's release on bail. The defense contends that Maxwell was not evading arrest but rather avoiding the press, evidenced by the government's ability to easily track her phone.

This document serves as a legal argument dated April 1, 2021, detailing the harsh prison conditions faced by Ghislaine Maxwell, including sleep deprivation via flashlight checks, inedible food, and undrinkable water. The defense argues that the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is subjecting her to this unconstitutional treatment solely due to the public relations fallout surrounding the death of Jeffrey Epstein. It further notes that the charges against her stem from allegations made by anonymous accusers regarding events from 1994 to 1997.
