Overview
- Emails shared with the House Judiciary Committee and obtained by NBC News show Maxwell writing she is “much much happier,” describing Federal Prison Camp Bryan as cleaner, safer and better run than her prior facility.
- Maxwell was moved in August from FCI Tallahassee to the minimum‑security Texas camp days after a July interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, according to the reports and transfer records.
- In an Oct. 30 letter, Rep. Jamie Raskin cited allegations that Maxwell receives special perks such as meal delivery, late‑night workouts and showers, private visits and protection from inmate retaliation, and he requested answers from the warden.
- The transfer has prompted questions because BOP policy generally limits minimum‑security placements for people convicted of sex offenses, and DOJ and the Bureau of Prisons have offered little public comment.
- Maxwell’s lawyer David Oscar Markus condemned publication of her emails as improper, while separate emails describe the warden facilitating expedited scanning of legal documents; the Supreme Court rejected Maxwell’s appeal in October.
