Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer to a cushy minimum-security prison in Texas has triggered outrage inside the facility, with inmates furious the convicted sex trafficker is now sharing space with non-violent offenders.
RadarOnline.com can reveal the former madame of Jeffrey Epstein was relocated after a two-hour interview with Department of Justice Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.
From Jet Set To 'Club Fed'
Maxwell is hoping for a pardon or any type of 'relief' from her 20-year prison sentence.

Julie Howell, currently serving 12 months for theft, said: “Every inmate I’ve heard from is upset she’s here. This facility is supposed to house non-violent offenders. Human trafficking is a violent crime.”
Howell also warned how Maxwell’s presence has created a dangerous atmosphere.
She added: “We have heard there are threats against her life, and many of us are worried about our own safety because she's here."
The relocation comes amid reports that Maxwell is actively trying to cut a deal with federal prosecutors.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Maxwell recently met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for nine hours over two days in what insiders suspect was a preliminary step toward cooperation.

“When you hear people say ‘Club Fed,’ they’re talking about places like FPC Bryan.”
Lepird noted that inmates typically land in such camps when they have shorter sentences but added: “If someone is a cooperating witness, they can request a lower security level."

Maxwell isn’t scheduled for release until 2037, but her sudden downgrade in prison conditions is raising eyebrows.
