Ghislaine Maxwell — the convicted sex trafficker and longtime accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein — is under heavy security at a Texas prison after receiving multiple death threats, according to a New York Sun report.
Federal corrections officials have deployed the Bureau of Prisons’ Counter Terrorism Unit and Special Operations forces to the Federal Prison Camp Bryan, where Maxwell was quietly transferred last week.
The rare move has fueled renewed public scrutiny of the Epstein case.
Special Forces Guarding the Perimeter
Sources told the Sun the threats appear to be coming from outside the prison rather than from fellow inmates.
Members of the Special Operations Response Team are monitoring the facility’s entrance and perimeter, while the Counter Terrorism Unit is keeping watch on internal communications and activities.
The British socialite is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking minors and is reportedly seeking a commutation of her sentence — a request drawing intense public interest and political pressure on President Trump.
Controversial Transfer to Minimum-Security Facility
Maxwell’s transfer to the low-security Bryan facility — once home to Real Housewives star Jen Shah and Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes — angered many of her victims.
The move came after Maxwell agreed to cooperate with federal investigators still probing Epstein’s sex trafficking network.
Critics note that the prison has minimal surveillance compared to higher-security facilities, prompting speculation about who and what Maxwell might be protecting.
