Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein, has been quietly transferred to a minimum-security federal prison camp in Texas—the same facility housing Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen Shah and Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes.
The government hasn’t commented on the transfer, and Maxwell’s attorney, David Oscar Markus, told USA Today, “Ghislaine was moved to Bryan, Texas, but we have no other comment.”
Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in 2022 for her role in the Epstein trafficking ring. Up until this recent move to Texas, she was held at Florida’s Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee.
As for Shah, 51, she was arrested for running a nationwide telemarketing fraud scheme and sentenced to 6.5 years in 2022. According to inmate records viewed by People, her sentence has been reduced multiple times, and she’s now scheduled for release on November 3, 2026.
Meanwhile, Holmes, 41, is serving 11 years in prison on charges of defrauding the company’s investors and patients by lying about the accuracy of the technology being used. She is currently set to be released in 2032.
Maxwell’s relocation to the Texas prison has raised some eyebrows. This prison is known to be less restrictive than the Florida prison she was being housed in and allegedly more comfortable for inmates in general.
The Federal Prison Camp Bryan is considered one of the top minimum-security prisons to serve time in. It has high ratings when it comes to safety, comfort, and amenities for prisoners to use, according to the prison consultancy group.
Last week, Maxwell participated in a two-day DOJ interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche under limited immunity, during which she answered detailed questions about high-profile individuals tied to Jeffrey Epstein, per The Times.
Her legal team has filed a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court seeking review of her conviction and has proposed testifying before Congress—though only if granted full immunity or a presidential pardon.
