Overview
- Internal BOP documents reviewed by podcast host Allison Gill and reported by Adam Klasfeld record Maxwell’s 7-point security score and a waived sex-offender Public Safety Factor.
- Those records designate Maxwell’s custody level as 'OUT', authorizing her to leave the prison for approved work assignments.
- Bureau of Prisons policy forbids sex offenders from minimum-security camps and work-release programs without an explicit PSF waiver.
- Maxwell was transferred to the minimum-security Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas in early August following DOJ re-interviews led by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
- News of Maxwell’s reported work-release eligibility has prompted bipartisan criticism and social-media outrage, and Congress is pushing for unsealing of related DOJ files.
