Now We Know Why There Are No Names
First, read this Fox News story about Ghislaine Maxwell:
Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred to a cushy low-security federal prison in north Florida to serve out her 20-year sex trafficking sentence for procuring teen girls to be abused by her and late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The British socialite, 60, is now residing at the Tallahassee Federal Correctional Institution, which houses about 755 female inmates, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons database.
I personally knew someone who had been sent to a minimum security prison in Florida – I had previously dated his daughter for a year in college. When I saw the news in the paper and called to ask how he was doing, she said he hated it. He’d rather be with his family. Still, she also described the activities like tennis and other sports. It has to be better than a prison where you have to spend every waking minute watching your back.
Now, I ask you — did Ghislaine get a “better” prison to serve out her sentence in because she promised to keep her mouth shut about the names of Epstein’s fellow perverts?
With a gun to my head, that would be my guess . . .

Sure she did but also she is not a violent offender. What are you looking for here? She is in jail, they have to do something. I doubt it is all that fun and she is currently facing the end of her life there. Though I suspect she will be out fairly quickly maybe a last minute Biden pardon. If I was her I would hope that Biden leaves office soon and lets her go. There is no doubt she has the political connections to cause it to happen.
They also have a terrorist and a nursing home killer. What are you looking for?
But seriously, although she’s going to spend the rest of her life there, what if Hillary runs in 2024? A pardon for eternal silence? What I’m getting at is that prostituting minors for adults’ deviangt sexual pleasure is worthy of being called a violent offender, yet her new digs seem relatively benign for such a heinous crime . . .
Thank you for pointing out that any individual who is setting up minors, some as young as ten years old, to be raped as often as three times a day by the rich and powerful, does deserve the label of a violent offender.
A guy who is a get away driver for an armed robbery does time in a Federal pen, if his colleagues carried guns into the bank. (Even if no guns were fired.)
Maxwell should be in a chain gang breaking rocks in the heat of a Southern summer.
Nah – less security makes for an easier target. I give her a month, tops.
Which would result in the names never being known . . . good point!
That would make it easier to disappear her…
In the movies etc, people like that leave a letter with a lawyer etc. But the lawyer probably wants to live too…
I dunno; “Cool Hand Ghislaine” doesn’t have much of a ring to it…
What about Cool Hand Liz? And I can think of one other person that fits too…
She and Epstein were running an operation for US intelligence service of some flavor and probably British intelligence as well. Perfect blackmail operation for at least one group of spooks (probably multiple). And it’s not like nobody has seen the picture of Bill in the blue dress by now.
Better…
If she’s smart, she has established a dead woman’s release where an email will go out to 100 news bureaus naming names if she dies and TPTB know this.
Could work, if it’s automated. And if she or someone has to login every 90 days or something, to stop it. But as mentioned in my previous comment, if she left a letter with a lawyer or something – like they do in movies and TV shows – it will probably never be released no matter what, because the lawyer wants to live.
These types of places are probably a bit easier for women than men as well. From what I’ve watched read and been told there’s still violence in these places if you disrespect and close quarters of bunks can lead to some things
Also, rumor has it that “child molesters” are not treated well by other inmates, at least in men’s prisons. Whether that applies to women as well, I don’t know.
That is the exact opposite of how it normally works. Usually if you give evidence that will help prosecute others, that is a good thing, but in this case . . . you may be right.
So she would threaten to name names unless she gets a pardon? And then get a pardon?
Is it possible that she may be safer in that prison than out of prison?
Wearing a burlap jumpsuit.
You’re gonna get some of these people all worked up again.
Epstein’s “suicide” might challenge that assumption . . .
Maxwell pimped out underage girls for the wealthy and powerful, but apparently that is a less serious crime than (checks notes) carrying a flag through the Capitol building.
She gets luxury prison, while Trump supporters convicted of misdemeanor trespassing are driven to suicide by the so-called “Department of Justice.”
And her client list? A state secret better protected than the nuclear launch code.
Tyranny? We’re soaking in it.

Yep. To the max.
Well, depending on how many Transgender “Womyn” are housed there of course.
One thing we know: if any important Republican leaders had their names listed inside Ghislaine’s little black book, those names would have been leaked by now.
Unless they were “turned.”
