Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker and longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, has quietly been moved from a federal prison in Florida to one in Texas, a federal Bureau of Prisons official confirmed Aug, 1.
The transfer comes as Maxwells attorneys are pressing the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn her conviction while also seeking a pardon or commutation for her from President Donald Trump in exchange for her cooperation in the Epstein investigation and broader sex trafficking issues.
Maxwell spent two days last week talking to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche Trumps former personal defense lawyer at a courthouse near the Tallahassee prison where she was serving a 20-year prison sentence for Epstein-related sex trafficking.

Ghislaine Maxwell Quietly Moved To Minimum Security Prison: What We Know
Up until recently, Maxwell had been serving her 20-year sentence for helping her ex Jeffrey Epstein recruit and abuse young girls at a Florida prison.
Now she has been relocated to the Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Bryan, Texas, a Bureau of Prisons spokesperson told the Sun.

Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas
https://www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-someone-waived-ghislaine
...
The reason for the move is listed as a lesser security transfer (code 308) according to a transfer document I reviewed, which is completely inappropriate of for inmates who are in the early stages of serving their sentences, according to another source. This is such obvious corruption. I have never seen this before, said another person at BOP familiar with the situation.

(10,200 posts)I just found this:
So it probably is unusual that someone convicted of Maxwell's crimes be assigned to a minimum security prison. But the vast majority of prisoners there are likely guilty of "white collar" crimes as opposed to the Florida prison which would have more violent offenders.
So it may be favorable treatment. But I do maintain that Maxwell is less in danger from other prisoners than she was in Florida. I believe it would be a PR disaster for Trump if she were to die while in federal custody.

She didn't "help" recruit or "help" abuse, only.
She recruited and sexually abused under age girls AKA, rape.
She is a pimp and a pedophile.
Whom is now being treated as though one of her "John's" who happens to have some power, is worried she will expose his pedophelia.

(151,445 posts)Maybe it would be easier to get her away quickly from the new location. I don't know. It's in Texas, though. Mexican border is just a short trip. The last thing the Trump administration wants is her talking to the media.
Like I said, it's my guess. My record on guesses is spotty at best.

(430 posts)Epstein was killed while he was in custody of TACO's first administration's DOJ. The one person who had the most to gain from his death was TACO. That fact that must weight heavily on Maxwell's mind as they move her from one place to another.

that will be entirely Democratic politicians (with Clinton, Obama, and Biden at the top) along with prominent Democratic public figures and donors. And the Q-Anoners will declare the whole controversy to be another demonstration of Trumps genius at 450-dimensional chess, in that he managed to get the whole truth out.

Anyway I can't even read that because of course she's gonna be set free no questions asked and media will completely normalize her "victim" status in exchange for lying, fat asshole will get away with everything again, and she'll probably end up in his "administration," or maybe even they'll set up Pedo Perv Island again and fund it with US taxpayer grift.
I can't anymore.
EndlessWire
(8,103 posts)She made a deal with Blanche. She got moved to a lesser security prison which is probably more comfy than the one she just left. We shouldn't think that she will testify to anything that incriminates rumpy in child trafficking. The only question is when will he pardon her. She's getting out. Unless they nail her in the new place, which I think that he will do at some point. Once she has cleared him of wrongdoing, she will become a loose end to tidy up.
I know that our favorite lawyers have said that the Congress made the right choice to deny her immunity if she testified on Aug 11th, but I am not so sure about it. I guess I'm too eager to show rump in his true light, but I would at least have considered her true evidentiary testimony in exchange for a swift disappearance back to whatever rock she crawled out from under. We could have done that, although I don't know where she could have gone. I don't think she can stay in the States. Best spot might be the Caribbean. Or, England. Tough all the way around.
I don't know what process it would have needed, but her attorney could have nailed it down.

(10,200 posts)Other inmates in the camp for women include Jen Shah, who was on the TV show Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and Elizabeth Holmes, formerly of the blood-testing company Theranos.
Sam Mangel, a prison consultant who doesnt represent Maxwell, suggested that she could run the risk of being threatened, hurt or injured in Tallahassee, especially if she continues to cooperate with the Justice Department, because the Tallahassee prison houses gang members and violent offenders.
Given her situation, its the best for her, Mangel told CNN.
It may be something more insidious, but I haven't seen anyone come up with a more plausible explanation.

(2,750 posts)if you don't talk about me or any of the people that are paying me to keep you quiet, I will have you transferred to a "camp" until I'm closer to the end of my term and then give you a full pardon. You'll be out in 7-8 instead of 16yrs of hard time. C'mon Gizzy, say you'll do it, for old times sake, otherwise, you leave me no options.
Am I close to how it went?
