Maxwell 'much happier' in minimum-security prison

“I feel like I have dropped through Alice in Wonderland’s looking glass,” Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s former girlfriend and associate, wrote in an email obtained by NBC News. “I am much much happier here and more importantly safe.”

She sent the emails shortly after she was transferred in August from a low-security federal prison in Florida to the minimum-security Bryan Federal Prison Camp. Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in a sex-trafficking scheme to abuse girls with Epstein.

In some of the emails, she touted the prison camp’s cleanliness and orderliness.

“The institution is run in an orderly fashion which makes for a safer more comfortable environment for all people concerned, inmates and guards alike,” she wrote in one email.

“The kitchen looks clean too - no possums falling from the ceiling to fry unfortunately on ovens, and become mingled with the food being served,” she wrote in another, comparing it to her previous prison arrangement.

Maxwell also told loved ones that meals were a huge improvement at the prison camp compared to the Tallahassee prison.

“The food is legions better, the place is clean, the staff responsive and polite - I haven't seen or heard the usual foul language or screaming accompanied by threats levelled at inmates by anyone. I have not seen a single fight, drug deal, passed out person or naked inmate running around or several of them congregating in a shower!” she wrote.
