Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted accomplice of late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has been transferred from a Florida prison to a minimum-security facility in Bryan, Texas, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The transfer comes just one week after a high-level meeting with the Justice Department, raising fresh questions about her cooperation in the Epstein investigation.

Where Is Maxwell Now?
“We can confirm Ghislaine Maxwell is in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan in Bryan, Texas,” a Bureau spokesperson stated.
The facility currently houses 635 female inmates and is classified as minimum security — a notable downgrade from the conditions at her previous prison in Florida.
Secret DOJ Meeting Raises Eyebrows
The move follows a two-day interview Maxwell gave last week to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, a former lawyer for Donald Trump. The meeting, held at a Florida courthouse, is considered highly unusual for a convicted felon.
While Blanche declined to disclose the contents of their conversation, Maxwell’s attorney David Markus confirmed she fully cooperated and “answered every question she was asked.”
Maxwell’s Offers: Testimony and Pardon
Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for recruiting underage girls for Epstein, has:
- Offered to testify before Congress, if granted immunity
- Sought a presidential pardon from Trump, who was formerly friendly with Epstein
Her moves have sparked outrage among victims’ families and political observers alike.
Trump, Epstein, and Renewed Public Pressure
President Donald Trump is facing mounting calls — both from Democrats and some supporters — to clarify his past relationship with Epstein. The Department of Justice recently reaffirmed that:
- Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial
- There was no “client list”
- No evidence of blackmail involving public figures
Still, conspiracy theories continue to swirl, especially after Trump suggested this week that he distanced himself from Epstein because the financier allegedly “stole” female employees from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago spa.
Tragic End for Key Accuser Virginia Giuffre
Adding emotional weight to the story, Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s most vocal accusers, died by suicide in April at her home in Australia. Her family has publicly urged Trump not to pardon Maxwell, labeling her a “monster who deserves to rot in prison.”
Conclusion
The transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security prison and her private meeting with DOJ officials have reignited public interest and controversy surrounding the Epstein scandal. As Maxwell continues to offer cooperation in exchange for leniency, calls for transparency and justice are growing louder.
