Ghislaine Maxwell kept awake at night so she doesn’t die like Epstein, lawyers say

Appeals judges expressed concern about guards shining light into the British socialite's cell every 15 minutes

Appeals judges hearing bail arguments seemed sympathetic on Monday to claims that the British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell is unjustly kept awake at night by guards ensuring she doesn't die in jail in New York - in the way that Jeffrey Epstein did in 2019 while awaiting his sex trafficking trial.

Two of three judges on a second US circuit court of appeals panel in Manhattan expressed concern about light shone in her cell every 15 minutes at night as Federal Bureau of Prisons (BoP) guards make sure she is breathing.
