- Epstein’s ex Ghislaine Maxwell seen for first time after move to Texas prison dubbed ‘Camp Cupcake’ (irishstar.com)
Bryan, Texas — Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has been seen enjoying amenities at the low-security Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas, sparking outrage among her victims. Photos obtained by The Mirror UK show Maxwell strolling the grounds, attending yoga classes, and going to and from her clerical job. This relatively comfortable imprisonment stands in stark contrast to the harsher conditions of her previous facility in Tallahassee, Florida.
The transfer, which appears to violate federal rules prohibiting sex offenders from serving time in minimum-security prisons, has raised questions. It followed shortly after Maxwell spoke favorably of Donald Trump’s past association with Jeffrey Epstein. One of Epstein’s victims expressed anger, stating, “Ghislaine helped destroy so many lives, and now she gets rewarded…It’s a slap in the face to survivors.”
The timing of Maxwell’s transfer coincides with renewed scrutiny of Trump’s relationship with Epstein and the government’s handling of related files. Trump recently reversed his campaign promise to release these files, claiming they contain no pertinent information.
This contradicts earlier claims, including one from Elon Musk, suggesting Trump’s name appears in the documents. The controversy has fueled demands for transparency from Epstein’s victims and the public.
Maxwell’s transfer is viewed by some as a potential quid pro quo for her recent testimony defending Trump’s conduct around Epstein. During questioning by Trump’s former lawyer, Maxwell maintained that Trump was always a “gentleman.” This has led to speculation about a possible presidential pardon.
Meanwhile, the increased security measures at FPC Bryan, including armed patrols and high screens, are impacting other inmates. One inmate lamented, “We’re all paying for her sins.” Another, Julie Howell, was reportedly transferred to a higher-security facility after her husband relayed her comments about Maxwell to the press.
While the Bureau of Prisons claims Maxwell’s transfer was routine, a Justice Department official, Joseph Schnitt, suggested otherwise. He hinted at a deal to keep Maxwell quiet, though he later retracted his statement. The incident further complicates the narrative surrounding Maxwell’s imprisonment and the ongoing Epstein saga.
