Ghislaine Maxwell gets 'hotel' guest treatment at 'Club Fed' prison, consultant says

Ghislaine Maxwell the sex-trafficking accomplice and former lover of Jeffrey Epstein is getting unusually favorable medicine after arriving at a Club Fed prison in Texas according to a new description Resentful fellow prisoners have complained of changes to the Federal Prison Camp Bryan's precaution measures and occasional special privileges granted to Maxwell according to The Wall Street Journal Bryan is a minimum-security facility with inmates including Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes and former The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jennifer Shah The -year-old Maxwell arrived over the summer after agreeing to meet with federal prosecutors and before the Supreme Court denied her latest appeal GHISLAINE MAXWELL GOES FOR STROLL AT NEW MINIMUM-SECURITY PRISON AS FORMER TOWNHOUSE HITS MARKETThe paper also released that Maxwell's fellow inmates were warned not to discuss her incident with the press One who talked to one of the paper's reporters was later sent to a higher-security facility Sam Mangel is a federal prison consultant whose clients have included Sam Bankman-Fried and Steve Bannon He described Fox News Digital he works with two women incarcerated at Bryan neither of whom will discuss Maxwell even with him over the phone or through email Speaking with the sister of one of my clients the previous day or the day before she advised me that they are treating Maxwell more like she's the guest in a hotel as opposed to an inmate in a federal prison he mentioned Wednesday GHISLAINE MAXWELL PRISON TRANSFER CALLED 'HIGHLY UNUSUAL' BY FORMER FEDERAL PRISON OFFICIALIn one example he mentioned prison bureaucrats locked down the whole camp so Maxwell could have a secretive visit with VIP guests in the chapel They literally closed everything down and locked everybody in their unit and brought the visitors into the chapel but through a side entrance so that no one can see who the visitors were Mangel noted That's very remarkable However he added if Maxwell were to have visitors in front of other inmates that could stoke further disagreement especially for prisoners with daughters the same age as Maxwell's casualties It's unprecedented that someone convicted of sex crimes would be housed at Bryan he explained which he called the preponderance desirable prison for women convicted of white collar felonies in the country You're gonna go into a visiting room and see Maxwell who doesn't belong there having these visits in a casual situation or context that that's upsetting he noted It really upsets the other inmates and their families Strings were absolutely pulled at the highest achievable levels of the DOJ to get her moved from Tallahassee to Bryan he announced Now I agree that there was a reason to move her from Tallahassee Once she started cooperating and it was obvious she was cooperating with Todd Blanche she became a target Blanche is the deputy attorney general who interviewed Maxwell at her former prison Federal Correctional Institution Tallahassee in Florida in August That facility is a low-security prison more typical for housing a sex offender like Maxwell JEFFREY EPSTEIN ACCOMPLICE GHISLAINE MAXWELL MOVED TO NEW PRISON AMID FIGHT OVER ANSWERS IMMUNITYA spokesperson for the U S Bureau of Prisons did not instantly respond to a request for comment The agency instead sent an automated email saying that its inhabitants affairs office would not be commenting due to the ongoing establishment shutdown The Supreme Court rejected Maxwell's appeal last week She's due for release in after a -year sentence for procuring girls for Epstein who died in a federal jail in New York before his own trial in Maxwell advised Blanche she never witnessed President Donald Trump doing anything inappropriate with anybody She shot down states that former President Bill Clinton had traveled to Epstein's infamous island in the U S Virgin Islands and stated the Clintons were her friends not Epstein's GHISLAINE MAXWELL BLOCKED FROM PUPPY TRAINING PROJECT AT FEDERAL PRISON CAMP BRYAN REVIEW I do believe that Epstein did a lot of not all but particular of what he's accused of and I'm not here to defend him in any respect whatsoever Maxwell explained Blanche I don't want to and I don't think he requires nor deserves any type of protection or from me in any way to sugarcoat what he did or didn't do Cooperation with bureaucrats is one of two major areas where inmates can improve their prison conditions according to Mangel The other is acceptance of responsibility When Maxwell met with Blanche she claimed her innocence and denied having witnessed any nonconsensual sexual activity or sex with minors
