Good afternoon-
Earlier this week, around 1:00 am
guards purposely awoke Ms. Maxwell because they observed her body shaking
and were concerned that she was having a seizure.
They determined she was shivering from the extremely cold temperature in her cell.
At approximately 3:00 am the following day, the guards again disrupted Ms. Maxwell's sleep
because her body was shaking. Again, they determined that she was
shivering and gave her a blanket.
The guards have now removed two of her blankets, claiming the blankets
are not authorized. Today, Ms. Maxwell awoke cold and headachy
with a sore throat. When medical staff came by she was too exhausted
to address her physical discomfort.
Please explain why guards purposely disrupt Ms. Maxwell's
sleep, determine she is shivering, and then remove blankets-
her only source of warmth. This makes no sense, is detrimental
her health, and is utterly insensitive.
In addition, VTC viewing is less blurry on counsel's end but the image repeatedlybecomes broken and then completely blacks out.
This is disrupting attorney-client communication, the ability to prepare for trial, and is negatively impacting counsel's vision and concentration.
Please address and remedy this problems immediately.

Good afternoon-
Despite being subjected to the most unique, restrictive, and invasive conditions of pretrial confinement, Ms. Maxwell has and continues to be a compliant detainee. She obeys all orders and commands - often muffled by masks, uttered behind prison doors, and/or combined with the din of background noise as soon as they are audibly discernible. Erratic enforcement of inconsistent rules and regulations imposed by revolving teams of guards who exert varying degrees of officiousness and contempt toward Ms. Maxwell is the fault of the MDC/BOP, not Ms. Maxwell. Regards, Bobbi

Hi Bobbi-
I apologize for the delay in response. I have been out of office sick.
We are looking into the concerns you have brought to our attention regarding the VTC units. All of the VTC units throughout the institution are now being stored in this manner as it is a protective barrier for the equipment. With that said, we will be doing test runs to investigate concerns you have mentioned. Furthermore, Ms. Maxwell must oblige by the orders of the Officers. We offer Ms. Maxwell medical care on a daily basis, which she has declined.
Additionally, can you please provide me with a photo of the ear buds you are requesting to bring into the institution?
Best,

Good morning-
As reported yesterday, the modifications made in the VTC room are negatively impacting attorney-client communication. The video is blurry; the audio includes distorting noises. I am requesting that these problems be remedied immediately. Also, I am bringing to your attention the inappropriate behavior of the guards presently on Ms. Maxwell's detail: threatening discipline if Ms. Maxwell is "off camera" while leaning against a wall to soothe her aching back; barking orders regarding the noise emanating from the washing machine and the pace of her gait when walking; laughing amongst themselves as if any of this is funny.
The manner in which some of the guards responded to me on Sunday gives me reason to be concerned
about how they treat Ms. Maxwell when out of public view.
The courtesy of a response is requested.
Thank you-
Bobbi
