Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker and longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, has reportedly been transferred to a minimum-security federal facility in Texas, just weeks after holding two meetings with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
Previously held at FCI Tallahassee in Florida—a facility criticized for overcrowded and deteriorating conditions—Maxwell was quietly moved on Friday to Federal Prison Camp, Bryan (FPC Bryan), a minimum-security women’s prison known for its comparatively lenient environment, recreational offerings, and high-profile inmates, including Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes.
The Justice Department has not provided a reason for the transfer, but the timing has raised eyebrows. The move comes as Maxwell’s legal team pushes the Supreme Court to overturn her conviction or secure a presidential pardon. In July, she and her attorneys reportedly met twice with Deputy AG Blanche, during which she allegedly named more than 100 individuals connected to Epstein’s network. Maxwell has also signaled a willingness to testify before Congress—on the condition that several demands are met by the Justice Department.
