They reveal alleged privileges of Ghislaine Maxwell inside prison in Texas
A former official ensures that Jeffrey Epstein's collaborator receives exclusive benefits behind bars
Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of sexual trafficking of minors, is again at the center of the controversy after a former employee of a federal prison in Texas revealed alleged special privileges that she would have received within the penitentiary center.
The accusations were disseminated during an interview on CNN, where Noella Turnage, a former federal penitentiary camp worker in Bryan, Texas, said that Maxwell had rare benefits even for inmates considered high profile.
According to Turnage, Maxwell enjoyed better housing conditions, special attention from staff, and preferential access to services within the prison.
“The food is much better, the place is clean, the staff is attentive and friendly,” Maxwell wrote in an email addressed to his brother and revealed by CNN.
In the message, Maxwell even compared his new prison life to “crossing Alice’s looking-glass in Wonderland.”
Private tours and exclusive benefits
According to the former official, the preferential treatment went beyond living conditions.
Turnage claimed that prison authorities suspended visits from other inmates to allow Maxwell to receive private encounters with relatives or close people.
“The other inmates couldn't see their families that weekend so Maxwell could receive visitors,” he denounced.
The former employee also noted that the warden personally handled some of Maxwell's mail, something she called unusual within the federal prison system.
“Other inmates find it hard to even send basic judicial documents,” she commented.
Furthermore, an inmate who spoke with the media mentioned said that Maxwell received bottled water and food prepared especially for her, delivered directly to her room.
Transfer generates new suspicions
The revelations arise after Maxwell's controversial transfer to a minimum security prison, occurring days after having stated about the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump.
During an interrogation conducted by Todd Blanche, then deputy attorney general, Maxwell assured that Trump never witnessed inappropriate sexual behaviors by Epstein, despite the public friendship that they maintained for years.
The change in prison generated questions on social networks and among critics of the American judicial system, who consider that Maxwell continues to receive privileged treatment despite the seriousness of his crimes.
Turnage said that he decided to filter the emails because he considered unfair the level of benefits granted to Maxwell compared to other women deprived of freedom.
The former official was fired after the leakage of the messages.
