Whistleblower Details Concerns at Federal Prison Where Ghislaine Maxwell Was Held
WASHINGTON - A former senior specialist officer at Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan in Texas has come forward to detail alleged systemic issues within the facility, following the release of documents related to Ghislaine Maxwell’s imprisonment there. Ashley Anderson, who was terminated from her position in August after a decade with the Bureau of Prisons, says she attempted to advocate for inmates reporting alleged abuse but encountered a lack of “transparency, accountability, and fairness.”
Anderson’s statements come as scrutiny intensifies around Maxwell’s transfer to FPC Bryan in early August and the subsequent release of emails from the Epstein estate.The House Oversight Committee released thousands of emails last week, including many referencing former President Donald Trump.
Another former Bryan employee,identified as Turnage,joined Anderson in speaking to members of congress about conditions at the prison. Both emphasized their motivation was to reveal the truth about treatment of both staff and inmates, not to influence the broader narrative surrounding the Epstein case.
The release of Maxwell’s emails has been called “improper” by Warden Saffian, who also denied that a pardon request had been made to the Trump administration. Saffian also stated she intends to file a habeas petition challenging Maxwell’s 20-year sentence for recruiting minors to be sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein.
Maxwell’s transfer followed a July meeting with Deputy Attorney General Todd blanche, during which she reportedly stated she never witnessed inappropriate conduct by Trump or othre figures associated with Epstein.Trump, who was previously friends with Epstein, has not been accused of wrongdoing by authorities. He initially supported the release of Epstein-related documents but later expressed reservations, before ultimately stating on his Truth Social account that House Republicans shoudl vote to release the files ”because we have nothing to hide.”
Epstein died by suicide in a New York City jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
