Cohen ; Subject: Re: Ghislaine Maxwell 02879-509 Good afternoon Bobbi: We have receive your concerns and will be looking in to these matters. All concerns will be properly addressed as needed. Best, >>> BOBBI C STERNHEIM •< > 1/6/2021 2:38 AM >» Counsel for Ghislaine Maxwell learned that she has been issued a disciplinary charge. Please provide a copy of the Incident Report. Members of the same team who physically mistreated and threatened Ms. Maxwell on Sunday now claim that she is not tidy (See email below.) The basis of the charge is unclear - because Ms. Maxwell has not deviated from her routine of the past 7 months. But the fact that it comes after Ms. Maxwell and counsel made complaints about staff is concerning, disturbing, and questionable. The policy of rotating in staff from other institutions has contributed to lack of consistency and clarity in the management of Ms. Maxwell. One team tells her one thing which is then contradicted by another team. One team tells her she can't keep books in her locker; another team tells her to put books in her locker. One team tells her to keep a set of clothes in her isolation cell; another team faults her for doing so. Ms. Maxwell's request for guidance is met with a terse response: "Read the A&O handbook." Ms. Maxwell cannot ask other inmates for help and is at the mercy of guards who appear to delight is their power over her. The present team was particularly harsh during a previous rotation and seem to have increased their contempt for Ms. Maxwell. Ms. Maxwell- and counsel- are concerned for her safety while in the custody of the present team. In lieu of an opportunity for Ms. Maxwell to be moved to another unit, and the unlikelihood that she would be transferred to the MCC as a result of Epstein's death while BOP was "asleep" on the watch, we are requesting that the present team be removed from guarding Ms. Maxwell. Issues still remain concerning Ms. Maxwell's meals.She still is not receiving items on the menu. Yesterday, she received the same meal for lunch and dinner. Tuesday morning she was given an inedible black and rotting banana. Over the weekend she was given bologna, despite being on a non-flesh diet. The guard EFTA00013290

informed her that the meat had not been refrigerated and recommended that she not eat it. The MDC's inability to provide proper nutrition is reoccurring and problematic. The problems keep escalating, giving rise to the belief that Ms. Maxwell is being targeted and victimized. I urge you to address and correct these problems. The failure to do so will result in a request for court intervention. BOBBI C. STERNHEIM, ESQ. Law Offices of Rabbi C.

This will further blemish the BOP's reputation, already tarnished by negligence resulting in the death of Jeffrey Epstein. The restrictive conditions of Ms. Maxwell's detention in the MDC correlate directly to the Epstein debacle in the MCC, making unprovoked rough treatment of Ms. Maxwell baffling. > Be further advised, should Ms. Maxwell face any retaliation as a EFTA00013291

result of this email, this too will be promptly reported. > BOBBI C. STERNHEIM, ESQ. > Law Offices of Bobbi C.
