Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell has been moved to a minimum-security federal prison camp in Texas, prompting outrage from abuse survivors who denounce the transfer as unwarranted leniency.
The Bureau of Prisons said Friday that Maxwell is housed at Federal Prison Camp Bryan, which typically accommodates nonviolent federal offenders. The relocation violates standard policy requiring sex offenders to serve time in at least low-security facilities, unless a waiver is granted.
The transfer occurred after Maxwell spent two days meeting with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, during which her lawyer said they covered “about 100 names” connected to Epstein.

Maxwell is serving 20 years for sex trafficking after her 2021 conviction for recruiting and grooming underage girls for Epstein’s abuse. She was previously housed at Federal Correctional Institution Tallahassee, which holds both male and female prisoners.
The Bryan facility houses approximately 635 women and offers the federal system’s most relaxed security conditions, including minimal fencing and expanded movement privileges. Disgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes is among other notable inmates.
Survivors and Virginia Giuffre’s family condemned the move, stating Maxwell is “a sexual predator who physically assaulted minor children on multiple occasions” and declaring the transfer “smacks of a cover up”.

“Without any notification to the Maxwell victims, the government overnight has moved Maxwell to a minimum security luxury prison in Texas,” their statement read.
Maxwell’s House Oversight Committee testimony, initially set for Aug. 11, has been delayed until October at the earliest after lawmakers rejected her immunity demands.
A senior administration official dismissed criticism as unfounded, telling NBC News that prisoner relocations sometimes occur due to “significant safety and danger concerns”.
Maxwell is appealing her conviction to the Supreme Court and has reportedly explored seeking clemency from President Trump.
