Gisline Maxwell is woken up every 15 minutes with flashlights by guards at the Metropolitan Detection Center in Brislin, federal officials said in court papers on Wednesday.
Federal prosecutors gave details of this in a letter to Manhattan federal court judge Allison Nathan, who ordered her to respond to allegations by Maxwell’s defense attorneys that several jails, including her lack of sleep due to frequent wakes Are subject to conditions.
The letter issued on Wednesday stated that the MDC staff conducts a flashlight check every fifteen minutes as the defendant is not under suicide watch.
The checks, he said, are to ensure Maxwell’s safety in the prison as he is being held in a cell himself.
Maxwell’s attorneys previously noted that he had been forced by the guards to sleep with sock on his eyes to shield himself from frequent torch checks.
Prosecutors previously said she was wearing an eye mask – but went back in her letter on Wednesday.
“MDC legal counsel has informed the government that the defendant cannot be provided with a mask. Eye masks are not available for purchase and are not issued to prisoners and are, therefore, considered contradictory, ”he wrote.
Maxwell’s attorney, David Marcus, slapped the letter, describing it as an attempt to suppress him with Arv’s co-worker, Jeffrey Epstein.
“It would be delightful if you didn’t do something horrifically that you’d hear from Orwell’s Ministry of Truth. They torture him for his own good. What’s the matter. Everyone knows that this torture is a direct result of the Epstein Effect.” . This is not right, “Marcus said in an email.
Maxwell is being held without bail in the early 1990s and early 2000s for Epstein allegedly awaiting trial for the purchase of underage girls.
She is not guilty and maintains her innocence.
