Ghislaine Maxwell moved to ‘Disneyland’ of prisons
Disgraced socialite, Ghislaine Maxwell has been moved to a low security prison
Described by some as the ‘Disneyland’ of jails, the prison Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to is a far cry from the outcome prosecutors were initially hoping for.
The Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, Florida opened in 1938 and houses women only.
Maxwell was found guilty on five of the six charges against her including the most serious of sex trafficking a minor.
So how did she escape a life sentence and what’s next for Jeffery Epstein’s former right hand gal?
When Maxwell was walked into court sporting prison scrubs and shackles many thought it was likely she would “rot in hell” behind the bars of a prison cell for the rest of her life.
But as it stands, the 60-year-old could walk free in 18 years, having already served two.
It follows Maxwell’s defence securing a major win just before the sentence was announced.
What sentence deal did Maxwell’s defence secure?
The defence successfully reduced the court’s sentencing guideline range down to between 15 and 19.5 years.
Prosectors had asked for up to 55 years, which they say she deserved due to her quote “utter lack of remorse”. This was rejected.
In 2004, sentencing guidelines were increased dramatically to a maximum of 65 years, but in 2003 the limit was still just over 19.5 years.
The date of the indictment against Maxwell? Between 1994 and 2004.
In their push for leniency, Maxwell’s lawyers argued the former socialite’s jail conditions were harrowing.
They described an incident where another inmate threatened to kill her.
This inmate claimed an additional 20 years’ incarceration would be “worth the money” she’d receive for carrying out the murder.
But while Maxwell may be heading to a more comfortable facility, it’s still not freedom.
When she finally is released she will be nearing the end of her life, aged 78.
Satellite images reveal that Iran has buried all three tunnel entrances at its Isfahan nuclear complex. Analysts say the move mirrors defensive preparations taken before U.S. airstrikes devastated the facility last year, with no vehicle or personnel activity visible around the entrances.
The burial appears aimed at limiting damage from potential airstrikes and complicating any ground raid targeting enriched uranium stored in the underground facility. Experts suggest equipment or materials may have been moved into the tunnels for protection, though this remains unconfirmed.
The fortification comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. President Trump has demanded Iran curb its nuclear program, warning of military action, while Tehran insists halting uranium enrichment is unacceptable. Recent indirect talks in Oman showed little progress toward a new deal.

Trump hints at military pressure as U.S. and Iran resume nuclear talks
US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.
US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.
The United States and Iran have returned to the negotiating table in Oman, marking a fresh attempt to ease escalating nuclear tensions between the two long-time rivals. President Donald Trump described the talks as promising, suggesting momentum toward further discussions.
Iran’s Foreign Minister echoed cautious optimism, calling the meetings a positive first step while acknowledging deep-seated trust issues remain unresolved. At the heart of the talks is a major sticking point — the White House’s insistence that Iran dismantle its nuclear capability entirely.
Iran, however, maintains it has a sovereign right to enrich uranium, setting the stage for difficult negotiations ahead as both sides test whether diplomacy can hold.
