Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein now serving a 20-year prison sentence for sexually exploiting and abusing teenage girls, has been moved from a federal prison in Florida to minimum-security prison camp in Texas, her lawyer said on Friday.

The move, which was reported earlier by The New York Sun, came about a week after Ms. Maxwell was interviewed over two days in prison in Tallahassee, Fla., about the Epstein case by Todd Blanche, the No. 2 official in the Justice Department and one of President Trump’s former lawyers.

Ms. Maxwell’s lawyer, David O. Markus, declined to comment on the reason for the move.

Mr. Blanche met with Ms. Maxwell and Mr. Markus last Thursday and Friday amid a firestorm of criticism from Trump supporters who have called for the administration to release all federal files related to Mr. Epstein.

1. minimum security...?

easier for her to get 'hurt' or is it 'for her safety'...?

Not sketchy at ALLLLL :eyeroll:

[chicoescuela]

2. break out orchestrated by Abbot and Patrick?

[not fooled]

3. Making life more enjoyable for her until the pardon

red don gearing up to pardon her on his way out.

Note that they're not making life better for the children she hurt. Arguably making life worse.

[speak easy]

5. or easier to knock off

13. True.

[OLDMDDEM]

4. I tnik we all know what the reason is for the move. Trump/Blanch.

[speak easy]

6. minimum security means minimum security for Maxwell

[gab13by13]

7. They just let them do whatever they want.

No explanation why Maxwell is being treated better now.

If Krasnov promised her a pardon in 2029, I guarantee he will not do it when the time comes.

8. Windows? Doors?

Plastic utensils?

9. Escape!

I can't believe no one thought she'd have help escaping and disappearing next month...

10. Interesting timing, to say the least.

Easier to knock off or easier to break out? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm......................

11. Moved halfway across the country just days before she is to testify before Congress??? She is either going to refuse to

testify at the last minute or get her pardon at which time she'll be flown on a private jet to Zorro Ranch in NM.

12. Moved from low security to minimum security....

Low-security and minimum-security prisons, while both representing lower risk settings within the federal prison system, have key differences. Low-security facilities, known as Federal Correctional Institutions (FCIs), house inmates with a moderate risk to the public and staff. They feature dormitory housing, a medium staff-to-inmate ratio, and some perimeter security. Minimum-security facilities, or Federal Prison Camps (FPCs), house inmates considered low risk. They have dormitory housing, a low staff-to-inmate ratio, and limited or no perimeter fencing.

I mean, of course, after her "escape".

and the authorities wont say why. Well, there is nothing fishy here!
