Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred to a new, “cushy” unit at her low-security prison in Florida, The Daily Mail reported Monday—a big change from the convicted sex trafficker’s digs in the facility’s general population wing, which earned the nickname “the snake pit” due to its high rate of violence. Maxwell is currently serving out her 20-year sentence at FCI Tallahassee, and was recently awarded a spot in the prison’s “honor wing,” officially dubbed D South, a smaller unit that houses up to 40 of the lockup’s better behaved inmates, according to the Mail. “The conditions in D South are more like the sort of thing Maxwell will have experienced when she attended boarding school as a young girl,” a prison source told the British tabloid. “Everything is well-ordered, there’s less problems, less drama, fights are unheard of. Everyone gets along because they are so happy to be there,” the source added.
