Two Prison Systems

Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of sex trafficking minors, is serving her sentence in a minimum-security “Club Fed” prison in Texas — with recreational activities and relatively comfortable conditions.

For many other inmates in the United States — especially those without wealth or influence — such prison conditions would be unthinkable.

That someone convicted of these crimes is placed in such an environment raises serious questions about extreme inequality in the U.S. justice system.
