Ghislaine Maxwell Uses A Cart To "Barricade" The A/V Room Shut While She Was In Lock Up (11/23/25)

Prosecutors allege that during a video-conference session with her lawyers at MDC Brooklyn, Maxwell used a large cart loaded with legal documents to block the door of a dedicated conference room, effectively preventing prison staff from entering. The filing states she was permitted to bring the cart into the video‐teleconference (VTC) room for meetings, but then “used that cart to barricade the door to the room” when staff attempted to gain access. In response, Maxwell’s legal team denied the barricade claim, arguing the government was “gratuitously casting” her in a negative light to justify stricter limits on her legal material access. Following the incident, prison authorities removed and banned the use of the cart during her meetings, directing that she instead carry her documents by hand and make multiple trips if needed. to contact me: [email protected]
