You expressed various concerns regarding Ms. Maxwell’s confinement and well-being. The Bureau of Prisons’ (BOP) policies and procedures are designed to ensure staff and inmates can work and live in a safe and secure environment. In determining Ms. Maxwell’s current housing assignment, MDC Brooklyn considered various factors including Ms. Maxwell’s expressed concern for her safety and well-being amongst the general inmate population. We have discussed our decision with Ms. Maxwell several times and provided her with guidance as to how to address any concerns through her Unit Team or the BOP’s Administrative Remedy Program, 28 C.F.R. §§ 542.10 — 542.19. To date, staff have addressed her complaints in accordance with BOP policies. In her current assignment, Ms. Maxwell, like other inmates housed at MDC Brooklyn, is allowed access to the common area of the housing unit from 7:00 AM through 8:00 PM, daily. She has access to recreational space, social calls, television, shower, legal telephone calls, email, computers, and discovery material. A discovery laptop is available to her from 8:00 AM through 5:00 PM. When Ms. Maxwell returns to her cell at 8:00 PM, like other inmates she has access to drinking water, snacks she purchased through the commissary, and discovery material. Since August 3, 2020, Ms. Maxwell has been able to purchase items from the full commissary list. She recetves commissary every second week like all other inmates.
