Ghislaine Maxwell Calls Jail Oppressive. Prosecutors Say She Has It Easy.
Ms. Maxwell, a longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, has asked to be released on $28.5 million bond as she awaits trial on federal charges.

In Ghislaine Maxwells telling, the conditions in her Brooklyn jail are oppressive. Guards with flashlights rouse her every 15 minutes to check whether shes breathing. She is subjected to constant surveillance and to frequent strip searches. In her own cell away from other prisoners, she has been deprived of food and sleep, and she is unable to communicate with friends or family.
But on Friday, federal prosecutors contended that Ms. Maxwell didnt have it so bad. She is released from her cell for 13 hours a day. She has her own shower, her own phone and exclusive use of two computers even her own TV.

The dispute over Ms. Maxwells living conditions has been continuing. Last month, one of Ms. Maxwells lawyers, Bobbi C. Sternheim, wrote that her client had spent the entirety of her pretrial detention in de facto solitary confinement under the most restrictive conditions where she is excessively and invasively searched and is monitored 24 hours per day.
Weeks later, in a letter sent on Dec. 7 to the judge, Ms. Sternheim argued that Ms. Maxwell had been an exemplary detainee, and that the Bureau of Prisons had imposed extraordinarily onerous conditions of confinement on her to avoid the catastrophic consequences of negligence that led to Mr. Epsteins jailhouse suicide.

What's an onerous and oppressive condition is being a child who is/was being sexually trafficked by Ghislaine Maxwell.

I'm thinking Baretta about now. "Can't do the time, then don't do the crime, don't do it."

(11,767 posts)Jail is punishment. It is a consequence for people who have wronged other people, who are dangerous to society. Granted, there are too many people in jail for bogus or offenses that do not warrant incarceration (I.E. possession of cannabis) and that is mainly because of racism and the fact that they are poor (for people who are White). Maxwell destroyed the lives of I don't know how many women, by grooming them and pimping them out to monsters like Epstein and Trump. She can stay in jail for the rest of her life.

(148,443 posts)phase, where all those things you have now are gone and you're in the general population in a federal prison, dear.
You should recognize grooming, I think.
