In reply to the discussion: Breaking - Ghislane Maxwell moved from Florida prison to [View all]Wiz Imp
(6,706 posts)88. That's a good point.
I just found this:
Federal Bureau of Prisons minimum security facilities, known as prison camps, primarily house non-violent offenders. While some minimum security facilities may house individuals with prior violence or sex offenses, they generally require a history free of violence or sex offenses for a specified period (e.g., 10 years). These camps focus on inmates with shorter sentences, those nearing release, and those with lower security needs.
So it probably is unusual that someone convicted of Maxwell's crimes be assigned to a minimum security prison. But the vast majority of prisoners there are likely guilty of "white collar" crimes as opposed to the Florida prison which would have more violent offenders.
So it may be favorable treatment. But I do maintain that Maxwell is less in danger from other prisoners than she was in Florida. I believe it would be a PR disaster for Trump if she were to die while in federal custody.

Why would they move Maxwell to Texas? Florida experienced more of the actual crime. n/t

Apparently, "someone" waived her sex offender status to move her to minimum security

Please edit out "witch". It's of the same ilk as people saying "that's so gay" as a negative. . . . nt

That would make no sense. Why would you go to great expense to move someone who you were going to release

I know people here don't want to hear it, but it may be that they received a credible threat against her
