Overview

  • On August 1, Ghislaine Maxwell was moved from FCI Tallahassee to Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas under an uncommon Bureau of Prisons waiver.
  • She now shares dormitory-style housing with Elizabeth Holmes and Jen Shah in the minimum-security facility reserved for nonviolent offenders.
  • The waiver was approved despite BOP guidelines barring sex offenders from such camps and followed two private interviews with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
  • Fellow inmates and survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse have decried the transfer as preferential treatment and a breach of accountability.
  • President Trump said he has not received a pardon request for Maxwell and has not ruled out granting clemency.
