Ghislaine Maxwell could be housed at MCC in New York \u2013 the same jail where Jeffrey Epstein killed himself.<\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cWe will be seeking detention,\u201d Acting U.S. Attorney\u00a0Audrey Strauss\u00a0in Manhattan said in a press conference announcing charges. Prosecutors said Maxwell helped Epstein entice girls as young as 14 into sex from 1994 through 1997, then lied about it under oath in 2016.<\/p>\n
As Bloomberg adds, unless the judge in New Hampshire releases her on bail, “Maxwell will either be held overnight in a local jail there or transported immediately back to New York, said Jack Donson, a consultant who formerly worked for the federal Bureau of Prisons.\u00a0In New York, she would likely be transferred to one of two federal lockups, the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan or the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.<\/strong>”<\/p>\nOf course, Manhattan\u2019s MCC is where Epstein was found dead in his cell in August after committing “suicide” by hanging himself using his bed sheets. How he was permitted to do so remains a mystery. Two MCC guards are facing charges for falsifying records and failing to check on inmates in the hours before Epstein\u2019s death. Both have pleaded not guilty. In May, the Manhattan jail also faced criticism after a judge-ordered inspection found it was failing to adequately protect inmates from the coronavirus.<\/p>\n
Asked if any special precautions will be taken to ensure Maxwell\u2019s safety in custody, Strauss said: “As you know, we are sensitive to that concern and certainly we\u2019ll be in dialogue with the Bureau of Prisons about it.”<\/strong><\/p>\nWhich probably means that Ghislaine has days left, if not hours, left to live.<\/p>\n
Donson added it was possible federal officials might choose to hold Maxwell elsewhere to avoid press attention. \u201cMaybe they\u2019ll want to get her out of New York entirely,\u201d he said. Wherever she ends up,\u00a0Maxwell will be evaluated for suicide or other risks<\/strong>, he added.<\/p>\nMeanwhile, @Techno_Fog notes some new info from the US Detention Memo:<\/p>\n
1) The grand jury returned the indictment on 6\/29\/20<\/p>\n
2) Maxwell has 15+ bank accounts. Some hold more than $20 million.<\/p>\n
3) Transfers of millions $$ to\/from Epstein<\/p>\n
4) Cash purchase of 156 acre NH Property in 2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
