Tallahassee, FL - Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred to a Texas minimum-security facility while continuing her legal appeals and offering testimony about Jeffrey Epstein's criminal network.
Maxwell, the convicted associate of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has been moved from a Florida prison to a minimum-security facility in Texas, the Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed.
Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking minors, is seeking to have her conviction overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court while also pursuing a pardon from former President Donald Trump.
The transfer to the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan, located in Texas about 100 miles from Austin, has raised significant controversy.
Maxwell’s legal team confirmed the move but declined to comment further.
The facility houses around 650 female inmates and is known for housing individuals convicted of non-violent offenses.
Unlike the Florida facility where she was previously housed, FCI Tallahassee, FPC Bryan has a lower staff-to-inmate ratio and offers various privileges, including access to educational programs and visitation on weekends and holidays.
Maxwell’s transfer comes amid ongoing legal efforts, including her willingness to testify before Congress on what she knows about Epstein's network.
However, a scheduled deposition on August 11 was postponed after Maxwell’s legal team requested immunity and advanced questions, which the House Oversight Committee refused to grant.
In recent closed-door meetings with Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche, Maxwell allegedly provided information about other individuals who may have been involved in Epstein's abuse of minors.
The details of those discussions remain confidential, with Blanche stating they will be revealed at an appropriate time.
