Emails Show Ghislaine Maxwell Praised Texas Prison as House Panel Probes Alleged 'VIP' Treatment

Her private emails, released by NBC from a House Judiciary cache, triggered a privacy rebuke from her attorney.

Overview

  • Messages obtained by the House Judiciary Committee depict Maxwell calling Federal Prison Camp Bryan safer, cleaner, and more orderly than her prior Florida facility.
  • Inmates and committee materials allege special privileges that include meal delivery to her dorm, late-night access to showers and exercise, private visits, and unusually direct contact with the warden.
  • One email describes the warden facilitating rapid exchanges of legal documents by scanning, an accommodation defense attorneys say is rare for prisoners.
  • Rep. Jamie Raskin questioned Warden Tanisha Hall about reports of preferential treatment and alleged retaliation against inmates who complained, as the committee’s inquiry continues.
  • Maxwell was moved in August from FCI Tallahassee to the minimum-security Texas camp, and her lawyer condemned the publication of her private emails as tabloid behavior.
