Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted former associate of Jeffrey Epstein, is currently serving a 20-year sentence at FCI Tallahassee, a low-security prison in Florida.
Maxwell was convicted of child sex trafficking for helping Epstein abuse minors over several years. Epstein died by apparent suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial.
Jessica Watkins, 42, a transgender Army veteran and former Oath Keeper, shared a dormitory with Maxwell at the facility. Watkins was imprisoned for her role in the Jan. 6 Capitol protests but had her sentence commuted earlier this year.
She described Maxwell’s daily life inside the prison in an interview with the Daily Mail.
Watkins recalled being surprised when she first spotted Maxwell in the open dormitory area, which contains numerous bunk beds without individual cells.
She initially had to confirm Maxwell’s identity with fellow inmates.
The two women reportedly spoke several times a week, often while exercising in the prison yard.
Maxwell rarely discussed her case or Epstein, mentioning him only once in a hushed tone, the Daily Mail reported.
Watkins said inmates avoid discussing their legal cases openly due to fears of being labeled snitches.
According to Watkins, Maxwell appeared calm and comfortable in the prison environment.
The open dorm layout offers many witnesses, which deters violence. Maxwell was approachable and seemed at ease among other inmates.
Watkins said Maxwell worked in the prison’s law library, helping other inmates access legal forms and running classes. Maxwell was reportedly attentive to others’ medical needs and displayed kindness despite the gravity of her case.
While Maxwell kept mostly to herself, she had one close friend known only as Lisa, who claimed to have been a doctor before incarceration. Maxwell spent much of her time working out and reading classic literature, avoiding the TV room and digital devices.
Watkins noted widespread drug use in the facility, particularly of Suboxone and methamphetamine. She and Maxwell bonded over sobriety, estimating only about a dozen inmates remained drug-free.
Maxwell shared limited personal information, mentioning only that her father had worked in media. Watkins said Maxwell briefly commented on President Donald Trump, questioning the media’s focus on him rather than the Clintons.
Watkins firmly stated that Maxwell did not appear suicidal, countering speculation that she might meet the same fate as Epstein, who died in prison under suspicious circumstances.
Epstein’s death sparked widespread conspiracy theories, including claims of a client list involving prominent figures who allegedly participated in trafficking. Despite expectations fueled by the Trump administration and conservative figures, the Department of Justice recently declared no such list exists.
Attorney General Pam Bondi had previously raised hopes among conservatives by stating the list was “on her desk.” The DOJ released some files and videos related to Epstein’s death, though critics highlight missing footage and unanswered questions.
Trump, who had promoted theories about Epstein’s client list, distanced himself from the controversy in recent statements. He suggested, without evidence, that the documents were fabricated by political rivals.
Maxwell has expressed willingness to testify before Congress regarding Epstein’s network. A source told the Daily Mail that she has not been offered a plea deal and would welcome the opportunity to share her knowledge publicly.
Her family continues to maintain her innocence, claiming government misconduct and unfair trial procedures. They plan to file a writ of habeas corpus citing new evidence that could affect her conviction.
The family also argues that Maxwell should have been protected under a 2007 agreement between Epstein and the Department of Justice, which promised not to prosecute his associates after Epstein served time and paid settlements.
They seek to have Maxwell’s sentence vacated and resentencing considered, accusing courts of applying incorrect guidelines in her case. Legal appeals against her convictions have so far been rejected.
