Inmate punished after griping about Ghislaine Maxwell: 'She's not making any friends'

Source: msn

Story by Travis Gettys • 3h •



.......................

A prisoner named Julie Howell said she was "disgusted" by Maxwell's transfer to Bryan in a statement provided to The Daily Telegraph by the inmate's husband. But after publication, prison officials pulled her out of a puppy-training class at the camp and transferred her to another federal detention center in Houston, according to her lawyer and the Bureau of Prisons.

“Nobody’s going to say anything about Ghislaine Maxwell now, are you kidding?” said Howell’s lawyer Patrick McLain.

Jill Ford, a recently released inmate, told CNN she would have been concerned about Maxwell's presence at Bryan during visitation because many of the women have children who frequently visit.

Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking minors after a 2021 trial and sentenced to 20 years in prison, and she's not due to be released for 12 years. It's highly unusual for sex offenders to be transferred to a federal prison camp, where women are able to move around in relative freedom and bunk together in dormitory-style rooms.

an inmates 1st Amendment rights it can only be for reasonable things specifically related to the operation of the facility such as security and order. Turner v Safley (1987) is a typical court case on this. The woman who was moved would have a good case, unless she had other disciplinary actions previously, that this action to move her to another facility is not "reasonable and related to legitimate penological interests" as envisioned in the court cases.

This gets the Bureau of Prisons even deeper into the weeds of impropriety along with the transfer of Maxwell in the first place. If you are an attorney for an inmate who has been denied a reasonable request for transfer you can readily file for violation of Equal Protection rights. MAGA judges may decide against in those cases but it doesn't mean it is not a legitimate claim and that the violation as a matter of fact has not taken place. A rejection of the claim by a court would simply be a middle finger from the court indicating they are unwilling to do anything about the violation. So it is with the law. A court/jury can find innocence/guilt /liability/no liability but it doesn't mean that the act/situation in question did/didn't happen as a matter of reality.

. . . I gotta believe there are people in that minimum security place who are not going to ever see the outside and one of them may just get pissed off enough to "help" Maxwell commit suicide.

To the Orange Colored Clown!!!
They have to keep her alive until they've found the "kill switch" on her secret memoirs. Then, I guess she'll "choke on something", ya know, because that's what she does.
She has all the cards, and it's plain they know it.
And they're ready to totally destroy any credibility Justice EVER had. They're dissolving the fabric of our Government
Is it still Treason if it's the Administration's Policy?
Treason is Patriotism.
Who Knew?
