Leaked Emails Show Maxwell Praising Texas Prison as Congress Probes ‘VIP’ Treatment

Lawmakers are pressing for answers on the unusual transfer after a DOJ interview, citing inmate claims of preferential treatment.

Overview

  • Emails obtained by the House Judiciary Committee and published by NBC News quote Ghislaine Maxwell calling FPC Bryan cleaner, safer and making her “much, much happier.”
  • Fellow inmates’ messages cited by Rep. Jamie Raskin allege meal delivery to her dorm, late‑night workout and shower access, and restrictions on other prisoners preparing her food.
  • Raskin has asked Warden Tanisha Hall to explain the reported perks and complaints that inmates who discussed Maxwell’s treatment faced retaliation.
  • Maxwell was moved from FCI Tallahassee to minimum‑security FPC Bryan days after a two‑day interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, a shift former prison staffers called atypical for a sex‑offense conviction.
  • The Justice Department and Bureau of Prisons have not offered substantive public explanations, and the Supreme Court recently declined Maxwell’s appeal, keeping her 20‑year sentence intact.
