Fired Prison Worker Leaks Ghislaine Maxwell Emails Alleging Special Treatment

The disclosures raise oversight questions about a low-security camp housing a sex offender.

Overview

  • Noella Turnage, a former staffer at the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas, told CNN she leaked Ghislaine Maxwell’s private emails and said she was fired for doing so.
  • Maxwell’s messages to her brother praised better food, a clean facility, and responsive staff, and an inmate said she receives bottled water with meals delivered to her room.
  • Turnage said staff shut general visitation to host a private visit for Maxwell, which kept other prisoners from seeing their families that weekend.
  • She also said the warden personally handled Maxwell’s mail while many inmates struggle to send routine letters or file court papers on time.
  • Lawmakers have criticized Maxwell’s placement at a minimum-security camp as not suitable for a convicted sex offender.
