Ghislaine Maxwell, the former associate of Jeffrey Epstein, has been moved from a federal prison in Florida to a minimum-security prison camp in Bryan, Texas. The federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed the transfer but did not provide specific reasons for the move. Maxwell's attorney also declined to comment on the circumstances surrounding the transfer.

Maxwell was convicted in 2021 for her role in helping Epstein sexually abuse underage girls and is serving a 20-year sentence. She was previously held at a low-security prison in Tallahassee, Florida. The prison camp in Texas, where she is now located, houses inmates considered to be the lowest security risk. These facilities often have minimal security measures, sometimes lacking fences, and are designed to allow inmates to perform work such as landscaping and maintenance without the need for frequent check-ins at a main facility.

The transfer comes amid renewed public interest in Maxwell's case following the Justice Department's recent decision not to release additional documents from the Epstein sex trafficking investigation. This decision has prompted calls for transparency, with administration officials seeking to unseal grand jury transcripts related to the case.

Maxwell was recently interviewed by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche at a Florida courthouse. Additionally, the House Oversight Committee has expressed interest in speaking with Maxwell. Her lawyers have indicated that she would be willing to participate in an interview, provided she receives immunity from prosecution for anything she might disclose.
