In early 2024, reports emerged that Ghislaine Maxwell had been quietly moved into the “honor dorm” at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, Florida — a residential wing reserved for inmates who demonstrate “model behavior.” The relocation came less than two years into her 20-year sentence for sex trafficking minors on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein. The “honor dorm” reportedly provided a far more comfortable environment than the rest of the facility, featuring reduced restrictions, more privacy, and access to better work and recreational assignments. Prison consultants and advocates were quick to note that such a placement is highly unusual for a high-profile sex offender, especially one convicted of trafficking minors, suggesting that Maxwell’s status and influence may have played a role in the Bureau of Prisons’ decision.


Critics saw the move as the first step toward a broader softening of Maxwell’s incarceration — a precursor to her eventual transfer to Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas, a minimum-security facility with far lighter conditions. Bureau of Prisons policy typically bars sex offenders from being housed in minimum-security camps, making the sequence of Maxwell’s reclassifications appear suspect. Reports also surfaced that internal lockdowns and security disruptions accompanied her movements, implying that special accommodations were being made for her safety and privacy. Legal observers and victims’ advocates condemned the decisions as evidence of ongoing preferential treatment, saying it sends a dangerous message that elite offenders continue to receive leniency unavailable to ordinary inmates.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
We're getting some information about Klaigne Maxwell and her new
living conditions down at FCI Tallahassee. Now, previously she was
in general population. Well, we're learning that she has been
moved to a new unit within the facility that is

(00:22):
reserved for the people who have the best behavior amongst
the inmates. Which is insane to me considering the crimes
that this lady's locked up for. I mean, we're not
talking about white collar crime here. We're not talking about
somebody who might have forgotten to pay their taxes. This
lady committed crimes against children, and we're gonna give her

(00:43):
a cushy situation. We're gonna move her from an already
primo situation into an even better one. Meanwhile, there's people
rotten away in prison around the country right now as
we speak, for crimes that are a lot less devious
than Glain Maxwell's. Today's article is from the Daily Mail
and the headline Glenn Maxwell is transferred from squalid Crampprison

(01:07):
to cushy honor doorm at FCI Tallahassee as she seeks
to overturn her sex trafficking conviction. This article was authored
by Ben Ashford. A federal appeals court may not overturn
her twenty year sentence for pipping girls for Jeffrey Epstein,
but at least Glenn Maxwell has escaped the violin plagued
prison wing nicknamed the snake Pit. Bosses at FCI Tallahassee

(01:32):
agreed to transfer the notorious madam. You mean, child abuser,
all around scumbag and bipuedle serpent, that's what you mean,
right out of the jails squalid b South Unit, where
one hundred and twenty inmates are crammed into tiny cubicles
of four bunks. Daily mail dot com can reveal insiders
say fights in bullying or routine as convict squabble over

(01:52):
what to watch on TV and face long lines to
use the phones and the computers. So that's where a
human traffickers should be. And I'd argue that the situation
that she's in right now in general population in FCI Tallahassee,
is better than she deserves. When you're committing the kinds
of crimes that Glenn Maxwell has been convicted of, then

(02:16):
I would think that your punishment should certainly fit the
crime but here we're not seeing that. We're seeing somebody
who has lived with great privilege your whole life once
again get great privilege. And I don't know how she's
considered one of the best behaved inmates here, considering she's
already been to the whole considering she's already had problems

(02:37):
with other inmates. But all of a sudden, Glen Maxwell
is an exemplary inmate and she's gonna get moved. I
call bullshit, But Maxwell's cushy. New digs in d South,
the so called Honor Dorm, are reserved for thirty to
forty of the low security Florida lockups best behave prisoners.
There are two monks per sell, but so few occupants

(02:59):
that the disgraced socialite you mean, child abuser sixty two
is almost guaranteed to have her own room, as well
as four times the storage. Well good for her, four
times the storage. She can fit more top ramen and
tofu in her foot locker in the snake pit. There
are fights every day. The bullies jump the line to

(03:19):
use the phones and won't let you watch what you
want on TV. A prison source exclusively told Thedeli mail
dot com. Well, yeah, that's how it works in prison.
You're not just gonna go up and change the community
TV to whatever you want. If you're some lowly asked
child abuser like Elaine Maxwell, whoever has the keys to
the yard, they're gonna decide what's on TV. The conditions

(03:41):
in De South are more like the sort of thing
Maxwell will have experienced when she attended boarding school as
a young girl. Everything is well ordered, there's less problems,
less drama. Fights are unheard of. Everyone gets along because
they're so happy to be there. And when you go
to one of these camps where it's low security, it
is completely hands off. If you get into an altercation

(04:02):
of any kind, you get sent back to the yard.
So there's no doubt that if you're going to prison,
this is the kind of place you want to be.
And is it any shock to anybody out there that
Maxwell wormed her way into it. Maxwell's lawyers told New
York's Second Circuit Court of Appeals this week that she
should never have been prosecuted for grooming Epstein's victims because

(04:25):
of a provision in his two thousand and eight Sweetheart
plea deal. Yeah, the deal that should be thrown right
out the window, and don't tell me deals can't get tossed.
We've seen it plenty of times before, and it's another
reason why we go through court documents of other cases.
There's plenty of precedent out there. The question is, why
hasn't the federal government gotten off their ass and gotten

(04:46):
rid of this plea deal for good. Epstein agreed to
a much maligned thirteen month work release arrangement with Florida
federal prosecutors, which let him spend just a few hours
per week in jail for soliciting underage girls for Remember, though, folks,
it's all just a big conspiracy theory. The deal also

(05:06):
granted immunity to a list of the warp financier you
mean pedophiles, alleged co conspirators. You mean conspirators, right, not alleged,
although it didn't mention Maxwell, his ex lover and chief
accompliced by name. Maxwell's attorney, Arthur Idalla, argues she should
be covered by the clause, but the government says it
makes no difference because the deal only applies to Florida,

(05:29):
and that's how these deals usually work. It's not carte
blanche to do whatever you want around the country. You
have to be completely upfront and honest with the authorities,
or your deal gets thrown right the fuck out. They've
done it with plenty of mafia figures, they've done it
with plenty of people in the cartel. But good old
Jeffrey Epstein, we'll just give him a pass. If the

(05:51):
three judge panel chooses not to toss her twenty twenty
one conviction, Federal Prisoner zero two eight seven nine DASH
five h nine, or as she's known behind bars, won't
be eligible for release until July of twenty thirty seven.
FCI Tallahassee has been portrayed as morikin to a holiday
camp where inmates can learn new languages, enjoy yoga camp,

(06:14):
and take part in softball tournaments. And I know that
when my gramps was doing his bid up at Lompoke,
he was on the low security yard and they literally
could have walked right out of the yard if they
wanted to. There was no fence, nothing like that. And
they were reliant, meaning the federal government, on people being
on that yard not screwing up that way, they don't

(06:35):
get sent back to wherever they were. So there's no
doubt that this is a relatively cushy situation for Glan
Maxwell and somebody who was convicted of what Glan Maxwell
was convicted of. I don't know how we could sit
here and feel good about this, but conditions in the
Aging Federal Facility are far from fancy. For the approximately

(06:57):
seven hundred and fifty women and three hundred men in
a small satellite unit with a recent inspection on covering
rodent infestations, rotting food, and walls smeared with filth. The
ceilings and windows of all five housing units, each divided
into North and South, were found to be in such
dire need of repair that inmates resorted to plugging leaks

(07:18):
with feminine hygiene products. And none of that's okay, Honestly,
the DOJ and the BOP they talk all this nonsense about,
you know, changing things and fixing the culture of how
things are broken within the system, and then they don't
do anything about it. They just let everything continue to rot.
Worst of the lot is B South, the raucous, crowded

(07:39):
home to newcomers where the disgraced daughter of the late
UK newspaper tycoon Robert Maxwell has been locked up since
July of twenty twenty two. Daily Mail Dot com reported
last May how two Cuban felons were thrown into solitary
after they passed Maxwell a threatening note demanding that she
buy them items from her three hundred and sixty dollars

(07:59):
commissary allowance. And that is relatively common in prison. If
you're doing time with gang members, or you're doing time
with people that are you know, lifers or used to
being in the system, and you come in there and
you're somebody who's from a privileged background, you're gonna get pressed.
And glad Maxwell is lucky that she's a woman and

(08:20):
not a man, because her time behind bars would be
a lot worse. Maxwell's bunkies then complained that she was
stinking out their cubicle because of her reluctance to use
the showers, the most likely setting to take a beat
down in prison. Go take a shower, which is stanking
ass booty. The Oxford graduate ran screaming for help when

(08:40):
one blazing argument ended with an inmate threatening to basher
with a padlock. She tattled on another cell mat, a
transgender firearms offender nicknamed Batman for having noisy sex with
a girlfriend and the bed above her. Maxwell has also
made enemies with the staff by constantly filing misconduct allegations
using guards, cleaners, and pastors of everything from sexual harassment

(09:04):
to discriminating against her Jewish faith. Oh, pretty interesting, not
all of a sudden, Glene Maxwell is a ultra orthodox
practicing Jew. Pretty convenient, huh. Max was in their faces
every day until she got her move to d South.
She even called the prison chaplain an anti Semite. Another
source explained, it looks like they eventually caved and decided

(09:28):
she would be less of a headache if she got
her own way and lived alone. And that's probably what
it came down to. Unfortunately, when it comes to somebody
like Maxwell who's going to continuously file all of these
claims against the staff in the prison, sometimes they're like,
you know what, forget it. Let's just move this person
and not deal with this headache at all. And that's
probably what happened here. She's been crowing about how much

(09:52):
quieter it is and how she can finally stretch her legs,
but the girls are really mad that she jumped the line,
and she's gonna end up building a lot lot of
animosity here towards herself. She's going to get all of
this special privilege and all these favors and the other inmates.
They don't like that shit, especially considering she already made
her name for herself as a snitch. There are people

(10:13):
here who have not had a single write up in
ten years, and they are still fighting to get a spot. Meanwhile,
Glenn Maxwell was already in the hole. So that's what
I'm talking about. How is it possible that Gleainne Maxwell
rates for a move like this. Maxwell was convicted of
sex trafficking miners and multiple counts of conspiracy after a
federal trial heard how she lured girls as young as

(10:35):
fourteen into Epstein's clutches and abuse them. Let's not forget
that part. Her lawyers asked that she serve her time
at FCI Danbury, the white collar Connecticut lock up that
inspired Orange is the New Black. She was instead shipped
one thousand miles south to Tallahassee, where working class Latinos
and blacks make up much of the prison population. Delhi

(10:58):
mail dot Com revealed last month that Maxwell has been
writing a tell all memoir from behind bars to combat
what she describes as misinformation about her ties to Epstein's
sick grooming empire. Oh I can't wait for Glene Maxwell
to rehash all the old bullshit she's told us for years.
But prison pals don't expect the trafficker to finally come

(11:19):
clean because the purpose of the book is to clear
Maxwell's name and prove she didn't do anything wrong. Yeah,
if she had anything to serve up, it would have
been served up at sentencing. Now she's a convicted felon.
Who's going to listen to what she has to say.
Federal inmates are prohibited from cutting publishing deals, but there's
nothing to prevent her from writing a private manuscript and

(11:41):
mailing it to a lawyer or a loved one for distribution.
She doesn't have a computer, but has access to a
typewriter and can bone up on the legal system via
her job in the law library. In a self serving
prison interview last year, Maxwell denied knowledge of Epstein's crimes,
insisting she regretted ever meeting him and had no idea
he was capable of evil. Oh yeah, no idea whatsoever.

(12:05):
She was just, you know, completely ignorant to what Epstein
was as they were abusing little girls together. But jurors
heard during her twenty twenty one trial that she acted
as the boss of Epstein's Palm Beach, Florida mansion, where
she would ensure a constant supply of teenage girls were
available for sordid massages. Epstein was due to go on

(12:26):
trial before Maxwell, but killed himself in custody in August
twenty nineteen before his case could be heard. Well, folks, look,
there's no doubt that Gallain Maxwell knows how to play
the system. And there's no doubt that when you have
a few bucks, things are a lot different for you
when you get locked up then they would be if
you were a port And we're seeing that with Glen Maxwell.

(12:47):
You're hearing about people who have been in there for
ten years, never had a write up, and they still
can't get a bed in this cushy dorm. But Maxwell
all of a sudden shows up and bought a bing,
bought a boom. She's in. If you were looking for
the most ridiculus news of the day, this is it.
All right, folks, that's gonna do it for this one.
All of the information that goes with this episode can
be found in the description box. What's up everyone, and

(13:11):
welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. So Glain Maxwell has
been spotted down at the lockup having a run around
the track. She was wearing some goofy gray shorts. Certainly
not the as Tony Soprano would say, the real Louis Vatoon.
So she's out here in her prison get up, doing

(13:33):
a run around the track and getting a little exercise
in and somebody, well, somebody snapped the picture of it.
So let's get to this quick update in the Express
and let's see what the bipedal serpent is up to.
Headline Gallainne Maxwell spotted running around US prison track in
gray shorts and the T shirt just gray socialite, you

(13:56):
mean human trafficker? Right? Glain Maxwell has been bodied pounding
the pavement at the US prison where she will likely
spend the next twenty years. Yeah, that sounds about right.
I know. There's been some talk about Glenn Maxwell maybe
trying to get her sentence moved to the UK, and
that's fantasyland. That's about as much of a fantasy as

(14:19):
me wanting to have a dragon to hop on to
go and ride around the neighborhood. Just not going to happen.
Why would America acquiesce to that sort of demand. This
article was authored by Matthew Dooley. Glenn Maxwell has been
spotted exercising at the low security US prison, which she

(14:40):
now calls home. The former socialite co conspirator General all
Around scuzbag fellow child abuse her and Bipudle serpent and
friend of late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, was sentenced to twenty
years in prison after she was convicted on five charges
including sex trafficking last year. Talk about a fall from grace.

(15:01):
Imagine running around like Alan Maxwell for all those years
thinking you're some big shot, thinking you're running the whole world, basically,
only to find yourself in prison, a prison issued gray
shorts and a shirt and running around the track in
a prison. You know the story about Icarus and you know,
flying too close to the sun and all. She should

(15:22):
have took that to heart. The sixty year old was
pictured running around the four hundred meter track wearing a
standard issue gray T shirt matching shorts and trainers. The
uniform prison guards and razor wire are a far cry
away from the Fifth Avenue wear. The former socialite co
conspirator General all Around Scuzbag fellow child abuse her and

(15:44):
Bipuedle serpent. You mean used to rub shoulders with New
York City's elite, Well that's not a lie. Not only
was she rubbing shoulders with them, According to them, she
was providing them with some services. Now, it would be
nice to know who was getting these services, and you
know where all of that paperwork is that leads to
these people. But the fact is Glene Maxwell was certainly

(16:09):
doing more than rubbing shoulders with these people. If anyone
thinks that Glene Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein were just being
invited over because there were great conversationalists and awesome for
the dinner table, well I have some bad news for you.
Maxwell is a fitness fanatic who sometimes beats younger inmates

(16:32):
in a race. Well, she always looked like she was fit.
And when you have all the money in the world,
how hard is it to be fit? You can afford
the best food. You don't have to really work, so
you can go to the gym for five hours a
day if you want. So it's not very difficult to
stay fit if you have dough. It's when you're poor
that it's hard. Right you ever walk into a whole foods,
see how expensive the food is there, Notice how expensive

(16:55):
healthy food is, and then look at how inexpensive shit
food is. Then you'll wonder why there's an obesity problem.
Then you'll wonder why people are dropping debt of heart
attacks and shit. People like Maxwell they have access to
better food, better everything than poor people. And that's just
the fact. A prison source told The Mirror Glaine is

(17:19):
incredibly fit. She runs almost every day, and when not
jogging on the track, she will walk with one of
her friends. Yeah, that's what they do in prison. When
my gramps was away at college, if you will, he
would tell me about the same kind of thing. He
spent a lot of time doing the same thing, walking
the track and watching a lot of the baseball games

(17:39):
that were going on between the inmates. He'd do his
gig in the morning, get up early, go do his gig.
He worked down in the office, I believe, like the
law office, clerking something like that, and then from there
he would go down and watch the ball games and
hang out. And he was in a low security facility
for the last portion of his stint as well. For

(18:02):
her age, she is incredibly active and does forty minute sessions,
completing lap after lap without stopping before she needs to
be back inside. So yeah, they have a lot of
access to working out in these federal facilities. There's no
doubt that the federal facilities are way better than the
state run facilities. That said, I don't want to be

(18:22):
at any of these places. Look at a place like
Sheridan and Oregon, what a shit show? Or Dublin. These
federal facilities, for all of the oh it's a country
club talk, a lot of them are not. Now, the
situation Maxwell finds herself in certainly isn't the same that
most people who end up in prison find themselves in. Right,

(18:44):
most people end up in state prison. But Maxwell over
here in federal has access to some things that you
certainly don't have in state prison. And that's a fact commissaries,
much better facilities, better better maintained, less chance of being
assaulted where she's at, because nobody wants to get thrown
out of low security and end up doing a bigger

(19:06):
bid in minimum I mean in medium or maximum. Right,
so people her hands off on these kinds of camps.
Maxwell is said to be enjoying a semblance of freedom
and stays outside when she is not working in the
prison's law library. Out here doing the old Shawshank. Better
go check her room to make sure that nobody is

(19:27):
digging a hole through the wall. She was convicted of
enticing young girls to be groomed by pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Maxwell was sentenced to twenty years in prison after being
found guilty on five counts, including trafficking underage girls for
sexual abuse. Her crimes are considered too serious for her
to be put in the so called open prison usually

(19:49):
reserved for white collar criminals. So she's not in the
open part, right. She's still in this dormitory and things
are a little bit more repressive for her than it
would be if she was, you know, white collar. But still,
let's not act like she's dropped in a gulag here.
That's not the case. However, Maxwell is enjoying, by your

(20:09):
own admission, FCI Tallahassee, far more than New York's Metropolitan
Detention Center, where she alleged mistreatment multiple times. I have
no doubt about that. The lockup is a far cry
from the federal facility. In the lockup, you don't really
have access to the things that you would have in
the federal facility, and most of the time you're just

(20:29):
there basically waiting. You're stuck in neutral when you're in
the holding facility waiting for your case to progress, you're
waiting for your trial, you're waiting for sentencing. See if
you're gonna be convicted, if you're gonna be let go, whatever.
But that's why you stay at those lockups and wait.
And there is no doubt I will not disagree, ever,
that those lockups are shitholes. They are. They're absolute open

(20:54):
wounds of garbage or in a prison reportedly has a
running track, softball pitch, and even manicured gardens. Glenn Maxwell
will likely remain in prison until her release date of
May seventeenth, two thousand thirty seven. And the manicured gardens
and stuff, well, the inmates do that. I don't have

(21:16):
a problem with inmates learning a trade behind bars. You see,
these people are going to be released back into the community,
so it behooves all of us for them to learn
a skill for them to be, you know, productive members
of society. So I'm all good with them learning how
to become gardeners, doing yard work and utilizing the skills
of the inmates that are in these facilities in hopes

(21:39):
that they can in turn use the skills that they
learn out in the regular world. Her associate Jeffrey Epstein,
killed himself in his Manhattan cell while awaiting his own
sex trafficking trial in August of twenty and nineteen. Allegedly,
I empathize deeply with all the survivors in this case.

(22:00):
I also acknowledge that I have been convicted of helping
Jeffrey Epstein commit these crimes. Maxwell said it the sentencing
hearing in New York. Well, she didn't come out and
have any remorse or empathy for these survivors in her
newest interview, did she sure when she was about to
be sentenced, She had a whole lot to say. She

(22:20):
sure was real thoughtful and real remorseful about what went down.
But now she's already sitting in jail. She's not remorseful, now,
is she? And that's all we need to know about
who she is and the character that she possesses. This
is not a woman who is regretful or remorseful for
the crime she committed. And that's right. She committed those crimes. No, allegedly,

(22:45):
no might have. No she could have. Those crimes were committed.
She was found guilty by a jury of her peers,
and now she's rotting away in prison for those committed crimes.
So no, I have no empathy for her, and nobody
else should either. She added, Jeffrey Epstein should have been
here before all of you. He should have stood before

(23:05):
you all those years ago. He should have stood before
you in two thousand and five, again in two thousand
and nine, and again in twenty and nineteen. She told
the survivors she was sorry for the pain they experienced. Well,
guess what, Golaane, you and Epstein and the rest of
the rest of them, The reason you weren't held accountable
is because you had powerful friends protecting you. Well, that

(23:27):
all ended, didn't it. And how does it feel to
be disposable? Because that's all you are at the end
of the day, just like everybody else, Golane, disposable. Enjoy
the blowney sandwiches until twenty thirty seven. All right, folks,
it's gonna do it for this one. If you would
