Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred after meeting with a justice department attorney to a minimum-security Texas prison known for arts and crafts and open grounds. The transfer represents unusually lenient treatment for a convicted sex offender serving a 20-year sentence for conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse minors. Former prison officials called the move unheard of and indicative of special preference. Public statements claiming such transfers are common are false. Epstein died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial, officially ruled a suicide though some doubt that conclusion. Victims' attorneys characterize Maxwell's treatment as part of a government-sponsored cover-up.
In any other era, the shockingly cushy treatment for the convicted sexual offender Ghislaine Maxwell would be a weeks-long scandal. The longtime associate of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein sat down with a justice department attorney last month and then, before long, was transferred to a minimum-security prison in Texas known for its arts and crafts programs and inmates' ability to move around the grounds.
Such a move is not just uncommon. It is truly unheard of for a convicted sex offender, as one former prison expert put it. Someone gave special preference to Maxwell that, to my knowledge, no other inmate currently in the Federal Bureau of Prisons has received, Robert Hood, former warden of a super-maximum prison in Colorado, told the Washington Post, speaking specifically about of how convicted sexual offenders are treated. Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse minors.
