Ghislaine Maxwell transferred to less restrictive prison after DOJ meeting.
Of course it's all above board, nothing to do with Trump! See for yourselves below. DerekR
Normally, sex offenders like Maxwell are not housed in minimum-security prisons, but she has been moved to one.
Days after sitting down with one of the highest-ranking members of the Justice Department, Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred to a less restrictive, minimum-security federal prison camp in Texas, her attorney said.
As a convicted sex offender, Maxwell would not normally be eligible for a minimum-security prison. According to a Bureau of Prisons policy, people with a sex offender determination known as a “public safety factor” are required to be housed in at least low-security prisons unless they receive a waiver from an arm of the bureau that designates inmates. Low-security prisons are more restrictive than minimum-security ones.
The bureau is a component of the Justice Department, meaning its leadership reports to Attorney General Pam Bondi.
A spokesperson for the Justice Department didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The Bureau of Prisons also did not respond to a request for comment.
Maxwell’s attorney David Oscar Markus said Friday she had been moved to Federal Prison Camp Bryan, a facility for female inmates in Southeast Texas. He declined further comment.
It’s unclear why Maxwell might have been moved, but her transfer comes as she and her attorneys have been advocating both for a pardon by the Trump administration and for her conviction to be overturned by the Supreme Court.
Maxwell, the onetime girlfriend of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, is serving a 20-year sentence for her 2021 conviction for sex trafficking crimes. Until this week, she had been serving her sentence in Florida, at FCI Tallahassee, a low-security prison.
