Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirator and confidant, was moved to a minimum security federal prison camp in Texas, prison officials said Friday.
Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in recruiting and trafficking minors for sex, was being held at a low-security facility in Tallahassee, Florida, that housed men and women.
The camp in Bryan, Texas, is minimum security and only houses women. A majority of the inmates at the facility are serving time for nonviolent offenses and white-collar crimes.
Disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes is housed there after she was convicted of defrauding investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars as well as “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Jen Shah, who was convicted of conspiracy to commit wire fraud for running a telemarketing scheme that defrauded elderly people.
“We can confirm, Ghislaine Maxwell is in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons at the Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Bryan, Texas,” the Bureau of Prisons said in a statement.
The Bureau of Prisons did not specify why she was transferred.
