Newly disclosed correspondence indicates that Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, has expressed a marked preference for her current detention facility. The 63-year-old, who is serving a 20-year sentence for her role in a sex trafficking conspiracy, was transferred in August to the Federal Prison Camp Bryan, a minimum-security facility in Texas.
In emails recently obtained, Maxwell described the Texas institution as being run in an “orderly fashion,” which she claims contributes to a safer and more comfortable environment for both inmates and staff. She contrasted this with her previous placement at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, Florida.
Specific points of approval included the general cleanliness of the facility and its kitchen. Maxwell also noted an apparent absence of the rampant drug deals and physical altercations she suggested were commonplace at her prior location.
The correspondence reveals Maxwell praised the prison’s warden, characterizing her as a “true professional.” Reports based on the emails also state that Maxwell receives what is described as adequate treatment, including the ability to have meals delivered to her room and permission for evening exercise and bathing periods.
Maxwell’s transfer to the Texas facility occurred shortly after a meeting with a senior official from the Department of Justice, during which she was questioned about her long-standing association with Epstein. It was reported following that meeting that she provided investigators with a substantial list of names connected to the financier.
The convicted socialite, who has now served four years of her sentence, concluded in her writings that she feels “much happier” and, more critically, “safe” in her new surroundings.
