Maxwell, 63, was transferred in August from a low-security prison in Tallahassee, Florida, to the minimum-security Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas; just days after assistant attorney general Todd Blanche was interviewed about the Epstein case. Blanche was Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer and was friends with the late Epstein, a sex offender, before he won two presidencies.

“Being with Bryan improved my situation,” she wrote in an email. “The institution is managed in an orderly manner to provide a safer and more comfortable environment for all persons concerned, inmates and guards alike,” wrote another.
Describing the living conditions, Maxwell noted that the kitchen “looked clean – the opossums from the cell unfortunately did not interfere with the food being roasted and served in the ovens.”
“I feel like I’ve fallen through the looking glass of Alice in Wonderland,” Maxwell wrote in an e-mail to a relative. “I’m much happier here, and more importantly, I’m safe.”
He said the food was “legions of better” than where it was held before. “The place is clean, the staff is responsive and polite. I did not see or hear the usual abusive language or screams accompanied by threats made by anyone to the inmates,” he wrote. “I didn’t see a single fight, drug deal, a passed out person, or a naked prisoner running around or several congregating in the shower!”
NBC also reported that in other emails, Maxwell praised the prison camp warden as a “true professional” and also complained about “people selling ridiculous stories and making money from their lies.”

“This is not responsible journalism, this is tabloid behavior. Anyone still engaging in this type of gossip is revealing more about themselves than Ghislaine. It’s time to forget about the fact that she is in a more secure facility. We should want that for everyone.”
Maxwell’s brother, Ian Maxwell, also told NBC in an email that the messages between him and his sister were “personal and private in nature.”
If those emails were sent to Congress and a reporter, “then they were stolen and leaked without permission and represent a violation of intellectual property rights and the fundamental right to privacy of all citizens,” he said.
In October, the US supreme court refused to hear Maxwell’s appeal of her sex trafficking conviction.
