This document is an email chain between US Attorneys regarding a judicial inquiry into why Ghislaine Maxwell (at MDC) received significantly better legal access than Justin Rivera (at MCC). Judge Engelmayer called the disparity 'terrible' optics. The BOP's explanation was that Maxwell's protective custody status (isolation) allowed her exclusive use of equipment, whereas Rivera was in the general population sharing limited resources with ~80 other inmates. The emails track the drafting of a declaration to explain this to the court by the December 31, 2020 deadline.
