Ghislaine Maxwell moved to Texas minimum-security prison; Manhattan townhouse hits market

Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred to Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Bryan, Texas, a minimum-security facility, after an interview with top Justice Department lawyers and a prior move from a Tallahassee, Florida, prison earlier this year. Photos captured Saturday show Maxwell stepping from behind a black umbrella on her way to a prison job before sunrise, then returning at midday with folders and headphones in a clear backpack. The visible details—gray sweats, Nike sneakers, and a device that appears to be a prison tablet hanging from her neck—mapped onto a routine described by authorities and observers familiar with the facility.

Bryan’s Federal Prison Camp is a 622-inmate institution that also houses high-profile inmates such as Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and former Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jennifer Shah. Maxwell, 62, is serving a 20-year sentence for her role in trafficking girls for Jeffrey Epstein. She remains appealing her 2022 conviction and has repeatedly asserted her innocence. In a previous interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blance, Maxwell denied trafficking anyone or witnessing nonconsensual activity and said she did not see any evidence of a “client list” or blackmail materials. She also said she does not believe former President Bill Clinton traveled to Epstein’s island and declined to portray Trump or Clinton as complicit in Epstein’s alleged crimes. The interview and related materials were published by the Justice Department on its website, providing transcripts and audio of the session.

In a separate line of note from the weekend, the New York Post reported Maxwell’s former Manhattan townhouse was again on the market for about $18 million. The home sits on an exclusive street two blocks east of Central Park. Its most recent owner, the late Manhattan real estate mogul Frederick Rudd, bought the property from Maxwell for roughly $15 million in 2016 before his death last year. Maxwell reportedly received the home free from one of Epstein’s attorneys in 2000, a detail that has circulated in coverage of her long-running legal saga. The listing adds to the broader context of Maxwell’s case, coming as she seeks to overturn her two-decade sentence and as federal authorities continue to publicize portions of her DOJ interview materials.

Maxwell’s case remains active on multiple fronts. She has maintained her innocence while appealing the sentence handed down in 2022 for her role in Epstein’s trafficking network. The transfer to Bryan, a facility described in official materials as minimal-security, reflects ongoing management of high-profile cases within the federal system and the broader public interest in the Epstein–maxwell saga. As the townhouse listing underscores, the public record continues to intertwine details of Maxwell’s personal life with the legal proceedings that have stretched for years, spanning new disclosures, media coverage, and a series of judicial reviews aimed at addressing the consequences of the Epstein era.

The Bryan facility itself is part of a cluster of federal camps that prioritize low-security design, with an emphasis on work programs and reduced-custody overlays. In Maxwell’s case, the move follows a high-profile interview that focused on questions of immunity, evidence, and the scope of liability. While officials have highlighted the formal aspects of her transfer and the current housing arrangements for its inmate population, observers note the ongoing public fascination with the case—for reasons tied to the broader conversations about Epstein’s relationships, accountability, and the legal processes that pursue them. The next phase of Maxwell’s legal journey remains a focal point for watchers of both the civil and criminal dimensions of the Epstein matter, as well as for the communities affected by the crimes at the center of the charges.
