Photos Show Ghislaine Maxwell at Texas Prison Camp, Fueling New Scrutiny of Her Transfer

The images from FPC Bryan revive questions about why the convicted sex offender was reclassified to a minimum-security camp.

Overview

  • The Mirror published photos of Maxwell walking to a yoga class and moving around the grounds at Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas.
  • Maxwell was moved from a Florida facility to the minimum-security camp three years into her 20-year sentence for recruiting and trafficking girls for Jeffrey Epstein.
  • The Bureau of Prisons has described the transfer as routine, though a senior Justice Department official previously suggested it broke standard rules for sex offenders before later saying his remarks were based on media reports.
  • Prison sources and lawyers report heightened security at the camp, including 12-foot screens and patrols by the Special Operations Response Team.
  • Last month Maxwell was interviewed for two days by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, she defended President Trump in those conversations, and she is seeking a presidential pardon.
