"Congressman Jamie Raskin, the ranking member and top Democrat on the House judiciary committee, stated in a news release that the prison's warden was also helping Maxwell copy, print, and send documents to support her bid for clemency. The exact content of this commutation application was unclear, Raskin added. Raskin states that according to the whistleblower, Maxwell has been receiving customized meals that are personally delivered to her cell, and that the warden has personally arranged private meetings for Maxwell and her visitors."
"The visits allegedly include providing a special cordoned-off area for visitors to arrive, as well as an assortment of snacks and refreshments for her guests. Maxwell's visitors were also reportedly permitted to bring computers, which, Raskin described in the news release as an unprecedented action by the Warden given the security risk and potential for Ms Maxwell to use a computer to conduct unmonitored communications with the outside world."
Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for sex-trafficking crimes and is reportedly preparing a commutation application for review by the Trump administration. A whistleblower shared information with House Democrats indicating that Maxwell has received special treatment since transferring to federal prison camp Bryan in Texas. The facility's warden allegedly assisted Maxwell by copying, printing, and sending documents for her clemency bid. The whistleblower also alleges personalized meal deliveries, privately arranged meetings, a cordoned-off visitor area with snacks and refreshments, permission for visitors to bring computers, and instructions for relaying calls when phone lines were down.
