‘This is fantastic!’ Ghislaine Maxwell gushes over special treatment in prison

Convicted sex offender and Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell gushed over her special privileges in prison recently in a series of letters to her family and attorney, NBC News reported Saturday.“I feel like I have dropped through Alice in Wonderlands looking glass,” Ghislaine wrote to her relative in a letter dated Aug. 8. “I am much much happier here and more importantly safe. So yes everyone can breath a sigh.”The letters were obtained by NBC News from the House Judiciary Committee, which has launched multiple probes files related to Epstein. Epstein died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges, and is alleged to have run a blackmail operation targeting powerful figures, including President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton. Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for her role in procuring sex-trafficking victims for Epstein, and was initially serving her sentence in a maximum-security prison in Florida. Shortly after reporting revealed new details about Trump’s relationship with Epstein, however, Maxwell was quietly transferred to a minimum-security prison in Texas, a transfer that ran afoul of Justice Department policy as it relates to sex offenders. And yet, even as Maxwell enjoys the cushier conditions at the low-security prison, she’s been entitled to special privileges not afforded to other inmates, something Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) described as “VIP treatment.”“They are even delivering her meals to her and NO inmates is allowed to prepare her meals,” wrote one inmate at the Texas prison, according to emails obtained by NBC News. Maxwell has also received special treatment as it pertains to the Supreme Court case where justices weighed in on her petition to be released, a petition that the justices ultimately threw out. In a letter to her attorney, Maxwell said that the prison warden had worked in tandem with her legal council to expedite filings on her behalf for the Supreme Court, special treatment that one criminal defense attorney described as highly unusual.“That’s a rare occurrence,” said Patrick McLain, a criminal defense attorney who’s represented women at the Texas prison, speaking with NBC News. “It would be like the head of a large corporation of a manufacturing plant regularly having contact with people on the assembly line.”In response to Maxwell’s mail being published, her attorney, David Oscar Markus, lashed out at outlets for their coverage.“That’s tabloid behavior, not responsible reporting,” Markus said in a statement, NBC News reported. “Anyone still interested in that kind of gossip reveals far more about themselves than about Ghislaine. It’s time to get over the fact that she is in a safer facility. We should want that for everyone.”.
