Convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell is writing home about how “happy,” “safe,” and “comfortable” she is in her cushy federal prison camp or a so-called “Club Fed.”
Meanwhile, the girls she helped abuse are still living (and dying) from the trauma.
A thread 🧵 🔥

Carolyn Andriano was 14 when she was recruited into Maxwell and Epstein’s trafficking.
She testified in 2021 at Maxwell’s trial, that she had been addicted to "pain pills and cocaine" and that she had taken them "to block out" Epstein's sexual abuse.
She died in 2019, reportedly from a drug overdose.

Skye Patrick was 16 when she was first trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. She struggled with addiction and trauma from the abuse.
She died in 2017 reportedly from a drug overdose.

Virginia Giuffre was first trafficked at 16. She became the face of the survivors fight for justice. She reportedly died by suicide in April 2025 — confirmed by her brother Sky.
Her memoir, Nobody’s Girl, was just released. In it, she details the horrors she endured.

These girls didn’t die at Epstein’s island.
They died years later — because the trauma never left them.
Because systems protected the powerful instead of them.

And yet, Ghislaine Maxwell says she feels “happy” and “safe.”
She paints. She does yoga. She writes letters about her peace of mind.

After reportedly giving two days of “interviews” to Trump’s former personal attorney, Todd Blanche, Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to this lower-security prison camp.
Transcripts from these interviews are publicly available (I’ll link at end of thread) not only does she sound unrepentant and completely without remorse, she also tries to discredit survivors on the record.

Maxwell is a convicted child sex trafficker — so why is she still being given a platform to undermine and discredit the very women she was found guilty of abusing?
Why does she get comfort, a microphone, and a narrative — while her survivors get trauma, silence, or the grave?
Survivors are outraged and have received no answers from Trump’s administration about the transfer. They told me that they found out about their traffickers transfer to Bryan from the news. No one informed them ahead of time or sought their input.

How many more survivors have to die before the powerful are held accountable?
Only one person—Maxwell—has been charged. And she’s sitting in comfort, giving interviews, still smearing victims.
This was a global child trafficking ring involving minors. The DOJ has the files. The names are there.
So why are they still protected?
Release the Epstein Files. Send Maxwell back to proper prison to finish her sentence, as survivors have asked.
