Overview

• Maxwell was transferred from FCI Tallahassee to the minimum-security Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas, on August 1, a move the Justice Department says addressed safety concerns.
• Federal Bureau of Prisons guidelines typically bar inmates convicted of sexual abuse of minors from minimum-security camps, making Maxwell’s placement an exception.
• Canine Companions confirmed its policy excludes inmates convicted of crimes against minors or animals, disqualifying Maxwell from the camp’s service dog training program.
• Relatives of victim Virginia Giuffre and other survivors condemned the move and program exclusion as evidence of preferential treatment for Maxwell.
• Former Bureau of Prisons assistant director Judi Garrett called the transfer highly unusual given the camp’s lack of perimeter security and limited supervision.
