Overview
- An unnamed former cellmate who was housed with Maxwell in 2023–2025 told TMZ she showered only once or twice a week, exercised frequently, and smelled strongly of body odor.
- The ex-inmate said other prisoners shunned Maxwell as a “chomo” but did not attack her because they feared being sent to the special housing unit known as “the hole.”
- Maxwell is serving a 20-year federal sentence for child sex trafficking and related crimes tied to Jeffrey Epstein.
- She was moved from FCI Tallahassee to minimum-security FPC Bryan in Texas in August after, according to reports, meeting twice with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
- A whistleblower told the House Judiciary Committee that Maxwell received special treatment at Bryan, and emails shared with Rep. Jamie Raskin indicated she felt safer there, as her lawyer defended the transfer on safety grounds and victims’ representatives criticized the placement.
