It may be something more insidious, but I haven't seen anyone come up with a more plausible explanation.
A minimum-security prison camp, like in Bryan, is the least-restrictive type of facility among federal prisons, housing inmates considered to be low-risk, non-violent and unlikely to escape. Camps have very little or no fencing containing the inmates, and inside they are able to move relatively freely.
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.

Please edit out "witch". It's of the same ilk as people saying "that's so gay" as a negative. . . . nt

That would make no sense. Why would you go to great expense to move someone who you were going to release
