Ghislaine Maxwell Gets a Puppy to Play With in Cushy Jail

Convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has been given a puppy as part of the preferential treatment she is receiving in a low security prison camp in Texas.

Four months after Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice was granted a sweetheart deal by Donald Trump’s Department of Justice, a whistleblower has lifted the lid on a range of perks Maxwell has received since she was transferred from her jail in Florida to Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan.

According to the whistleblower, an inmate who trains puppies to become service dogs was instructed to give one to Maxwell to play with for a period of time, even though other inmates and staff are not generally allowed to pet them.

The whistleblower told House Democrats that the sex offender’s meals have been customized and prepared by federal prison camp employees, and then personally delivered to her in her cell.

She was also purportedly given a special, cordoned-off area for visitors, as well as snacks and refreshments for her guests; permission to go to the exercise area after hours; and special provisions to contact people outside the jail with the help of the prison warden or other personnel.

The information and documents unveiling Maxwell’s perks inside the prison camp were provided to Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee.

Members were also told that she is in the process of seeking a commutation of her 20-year prison sentence from President Trump.

Committee ranking member Jaimie Raskin has written to Trump demanding answers.

“You have claimed to be the ‘most transparent’ president in history and have insisted you exercise close control over the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Yet, you have adamantly refused to release the Epstein files despite campaigning on their release,” Raskin told the president in his letter.

“You lied when you denied authoring a lewd and incriminating birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein, and you ridiculously claimed that your own unmistakable signature on that note was not your signature.

“You shut down the DOJ’s investigation into Epstein’s co-conspirators, and you expressly declined to rule out pardoning his main accomplice, convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. The situation looks more and more suspicious to growing bipartisan majorities in Congress every day.”

In response to the letter, the White House did not comment about Maxwell’s treatment in jail. In relation to her apparent push for clemency, spokeswoman Abigail Jackson simply said: “The White House does not comment on potential clemency requests. As President Trump has stated, pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell is not something he has thought about.”

However, Trump’s refusal to rule out such a request has angered Epstein’s victims and their families, who have spent years demanding justice.

Epstein died in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while awaiting trial for his crimes, while Maxwell was subsequently sentenced for being his accomplice, after spending years helping to recruit young girls for Epstein to sexually abuse.

One of those girls, the late Virginia Giuffre, was only 17 when she was befriended by Maxwell while working at Trump’s Mar-a-lago spa – something that the president claims led to his eventual falling out with Epstein.

“He stole her,” Trump told reporters earlier this year.

But as the political scandal over the Epstein files escalated, Maxwell was moved in July, without explanation, from her jail in Florida to a minimum security prison camp in Texas, which industry publications have listed as one of the “Best Jails in America to Serve Time.”

The transfer came days after Maxwell met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Trump’s former personal lawyer, where the pair discussed more than 100 people connected to Epstein—including the president himself.

“These actions raise substantial concerns that the Administration may now be attempting to tamper with a crucial witness, conceal President Trump’s relationship with convicted sex offenders, and coax Ms. Maxwell into providing false or misleading testimony in order to protect the President,” Raskin said in August.

In his latest letter to Trump, the Democratic Senator also asked that the president make Blanche available for a public hearing.

The Daily Beast has reached out to the Department of Justice and to Maxwell’s lawyers, but has yet to hear back.
