These include specially prepared food, an exclusive visitation area stocked with food and drinks, and allegedly endless bathroom tissue.
Moreover, one staff member allegedly remarked about being forced to serve as Maxwell's “personal secretary”.
Canine Access and Service Dog Anomalies
A particularly notable allegation involves a service dog in training.
A prisoner responsible for training assistance animals reportedly directed to provide the convict with the animal for interaction, even though this kind of contact is ordinarily forbidden for all prisoners as well as staff.
Legal Opinions: “Unprecedented”
