Ghislaine Maxwell has been moved to a Florida prison where she can watch movies, play sports, and participate in other recreational activities, according to prison records.
Maxwell, the former girlfriend and confidante of Jeffrey Epstein, was sentenced to 20 years in the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut. But on Friday, she was moved from the Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn and is now residing at the Federal Correctional Institution Tallahassee prison, the Federal Bureau of Prisons Office of Public Affairs told the Washington Examiner.
“The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) designates individuals to institutions based on a number of factors,” a statement from the office read. “Some of the factors include the level of security and supervision the inmate requires, any medical or programming needs, separation and security measures to ensure the inmate’s protection, and other considerations, including proximity to an individual’s release residence. The same criteria apply when making decisions for both initial designations and re-designation for transfer to a new facility.”

The prison, which describes itself as “a low security federal correctional institution with a detention center” in the Northern Judicial District of Florida, holds 821 inmates, both male and female, according to prison records. Indoor activities offered by the facility include an artwork and hobby craft program, talent shows, movies, and lectures on health and exercise, and outdoor activities inmates can participate in include yoga, weights, frisbee, and softball, according to the Zoukis Consulting Group, which advises people entering prisons.
Maxwell, 60, is set to be released in July 2037, according to prison records. People who can visit her at the facility include her immediate family and relatives, as well as up to 10 friends or associates, according to Zoukis.

The former Epstein associate was found guilty on five of six counts on June 28, which included transporting a minor for the purposes of criminal sexual activity, conspiring to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, and perjury related to statements she made in 2016. She claimed that meeting the financier was the “biggest regret” of her life.
Prior to her sentencing, Maxwell was placed on suicide watch. Prosecutors later revealed that she was placed on suicide watch after prison staff allegedly threatened to kill her.
