Overview

  • Ghislaine Maxwell was moved on August 1 from FCI Tallahassee to Federal Prison Camp Bryan after two days of interviews with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
  • Judi Garrett, a former assistant director at the Federal Bureau of Prisons, called the placement of a convicted sex offender in a dorm-style, minimum-security camp highly unusual under standard classification rules.
  • Canine Companions has confirmed that Maxwell is ineligible for its prison-based service dog training program because its policy bars participants convicted of crimes against minors or animals.
  • Virginia Giuffre’s family and other victim advocates condemned the transfer as undue leniency, while the Justice Department insists such relocations are routine safety measures.
  • Maxwell remains at FPC Bryan as she pursues appellate and clemency petitions amid growing scrutiny of the Bureau of Prisons’ waiver process for high-profile inmates.
