- Former staffer Noella Turnage shared Maxwell’s private emails with CNN describing better conditions at the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan and said she was fired after the leak.
- Turnage alleged staff arranged a private family visit for Maxwell that shut down visitation for other inmates for part of a weekend.
- She said the warden personally handled Maxwell’s mail, which other prisoners struggle to send or receive for routine needs and court filings.
- An inmate told CNN that Maxwell received bottled water and clamshell meals delivered to her room, which are not standard perks at the camp.
- Maxwell’s move to the minimum-security camp days after a DOJ interview has drawn criticism from lawmakers, and a Bureau of Prisons spokesperson declined to discuss her case but said the agency investigates preferential treatment claims.
