Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has been quietly relocated to a minimum-security federal prison camp in Texas — a move sparking questions, as it comes on the heels of two behind-closed-doors meetings with a top Justice Department official.
The 63-year-old British socialite — currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in helping Jeffrey Epstein groom and abuse underage girls — was moved from a Florida facility to Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan, a low-security compound often nicknamed “Club Fed” for its relaxed environment and white-collar inmate population.
The Bureau of Prisons confirmed the transfer Friday but offered no explanation. However, the timing is conspicuous: Maxwell met twice last week with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, reportedly in pursuit of an immunity deal in exchange for information on the late billionaire pedophile Epstein and his powerful network.
According to the BOP, Maxwell’s new prison has “limited or no perimeter fencing” and houses nonviolent offenders. Inmates can move about freely — a far cry from the stricter conditions at her previous lockup at FCI Tallahassee.

Now, she finds herself rubbing shoulders with high-profile inmates like Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced Theranos founder, and reality TV star Jen Shah, both convicted of white-collar crimes.
“It’s one of the best prisons for anyone to go to,” said Josh Lepird, regional vice president of the prison officers’ union, in comments to the Houston Chronicle. “When you hear people say ‘Club Fed,’ they’re talking about places like FPC Bryan.”
Typically, only inmates with a few years left on their sentence are eligible for such a downgrade. Lepird added that “if someone is a cooperating witness, they can request a lower security level” — a detail that casts further intrigue on Maxwell’s sudden transfer.
The move was reportedly orchestrated directly by BOP officials and not by U.S. Marshals — a deviation from normal protocol. The New York Sun reported that the transfer included a brief stop at another prison facility in Louisiana.
Neither the BOP nor Maxwell’s attorney, David Oscar Marcus, offered a reason for the move. “We can confirm that she was moved but we have no comment,” Marcus said.
Yet the timing aligns suspiciously with Maxwell’s sit-downs with Blanche — formerly Donald Trump’s defense attorney and now the DOJ’s second-in-command — held at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Tallahassee.
What was said behind those closed doors remains a mystery, as does whether the DOJ believes Maxwell can be trusted. In 2022, prosecutors accused her of showing a “significant pattern of dishonest conduct” and failing to accept responsibility for her crimes.
Maxwell was convicted by a Manhattan jury in 2021 of sex trafficking underage girls for Epstein from at least 1994 to 2004. Prosecutors described her as a “sophisticated predator” who operated as Epstein’s enabler, drawing vulnerable teens into his web under the guise of mentorship and assistance.
Four women took the stand to recount how Maxwell recruited and trafficked them to Epstein, leading to years of sexual abuse.
Despite the grim nature of her crimes, Maxwell now finds herself in one of the federal system’s most lenient facilities — raising questions about what she might have offered the DOJ, and whether the truth about Epstein’s network is finally beginning to surface, or being quietly buried once again.
