Ghislaine Maxwell being locked up in isolation for own safety, feds say
[New York Post] Ghislaine Maxwell is being held in isolation from other inmates in a Brookly Federal jail for her own safety and the "orderly" function of the facility, federal prosecutors argued Thursday.

The British socialite, 58, earlier this week petitioned to be released into the general population at the Metropolitan Detention Center. She whined in court documents of the "onerous" conditions she’s facing — including around-the-clock camera surveillance and guards filing notes on her every move.

But Assistant Manhattan U.S. Attorney Alex Rossmiller responded Thursday that the Bureau of Prisons’ exhaustive measures were to protect Maxwell.

"For reasons including safety, security, and the orderly functioning of the facility, BOP has made the determination that, at present, the defendant should not be fully integrated into the dorm-style accommodations of the general population," Rossmiller wrote.
If she would only start cooperating.
The Bureau of Prisons "will continue to evaluate" where Maxwell should be placed and will only consider sending her into the general population "if and when BOP is assured that such placement would not pose a threat to the orderly operation of the institution," he went on.

Maxwell claimed she’s been treated "worse" than other pre-trial detainees because the prison is overreacting to the suicide of her former boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein and trying to prevent a similar situation.

#3 Besoeker. Cameras can function just fine. The key is showing investigators footage of the wrong cell block.

#5 Her complaints indicate she is a very clever woman. She on the offensive. She can now actually argue that being in prison causes disruption of orderly prison function, thanks to the Fed Bureau of Prisons own words in the article above.

#6 Setting the stage for confinement elsewhere? Hint of the cooperation agreement or window dressing for something more sinister? There is no way a high value subject like this goes into genpop or stays in solitary for the years ahead.

#7 She's already using the media to be a pain in the ass. And if she is learned anything from her late, famous father, bullying the system relentlessly gets you results, but only if you are famous.
