Ghislaine Maxwell boasted to her family about getting special treatment behind bars — including private visits with snacks and front-of-the-line access, according to private emails revealed by a former employee of a Texas federal lock-up.
Whistleblower Noella Turnage claimed Jeffrey Epstein’s madam took advantage of her “highly unusual” relationship with the jail warden at Federal Prison Camp Bryan — getting perks other inmates don’t, like water bottle and food deliveries to her cell.
“What I can tell you is that the things that were being done for her were not common for any of the other inmates, not even the other high-profile inmates,” Turner said noting she didn’t personally encounter Maxwell but found out about her alleged preferential treatment through the emails.
When the disgraced British socialite’s family was coming to visit her from the UK, the prison all but rolled out the red carpet for them, Turnage said in an interview on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront.“
“‘I believe they will provide some water/coffee and snack – you will not go without anything after flying all the way from the UK…’” Maxwell allegedly wrote in an email to her brother, according to Turnage. “‘Also you will arrive at the front like everyone else but there will be a coned off area for you – only you will go there – they will be waiting for you from 8am.”’
Meanwhile, other visitors only have access to snacks from a vending machine, Turnage said, according to a report by the Daily Beast.
