Her privileges in America’s two-tiered legal system reportedly range from from unlimited toilet paper to puppy playtime
I don’t know what, if anything, keeps Ghislaine Maxwell up at night. But it’s certainly not the prospect of running out of toilet paper in the minimum-security prison where she’s residing. Maxwell is serving a 20-year-sentence for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation. Rather than doing hard time, however, it seems Maxwell is having a relatively easy go of it. While most inmates get an allocation of two rolls of toilet paper per week, for example, CNN reports that Maxwell gets an unlimited supply.
Bountiful bog roll isn’t the only privilege being extended to Maxwell. The very fact that she was transferred to the federal prison camp (FPC) in Bryan, Texas, has prompted uproar and claims of special treatment. Maxwell, to jog your memory, was originally held at a federal detention facility in Brooklyn, New York, then sent to a Florida facility in 2022, where she complained about poor conditions and “possums falling from the ceiling”.
It’s not entirely clear why she was transferred out of the possum prison, but it may have had something to do with a visit paid to her in July by Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, who was previously Trump’s personal defense attorney. What did the pair talk about? I’m so glad you asked! In the interests of transparency, which the Trump administration is very keen on when it suits them, the chat between Blanche and Maxwell was recorded and released to the public. And, what do you know, Maxwell was emphatic that she “never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way”. She was moved from the Florida facility within days.
