Ghislaine Maxwell, the notorious socialite who was Jeffrey Epstein’s partner and right-hand woman, took on an unexpected role behind bars: a prison teacher.

Fellow inmates have eagerly been signing up for her classes, insiders said.

They reportedly described her as a “good teacher” with a “lot of patience.”

    Highlights
    • Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred from a Florida facility to a cushier Texas prison last year.
    • She took up a new role at the Texas prison and has been taking classes for fellow inmates.
    • “Miss Maxwell is really a good teacher,” a source said.

    Ghislaine Maxwell’s current address is the Federal Prison Camp Bryan, and she reportedly has her own classroom in the jail’s education department.

    Initially, she was placed at the FCI (Federal Correctional Institution) Tallahassee in Florida after she was given a 20-year prison sentence for s*x trafficking and conspiring with Epstein to s*x*ally ab*se minors.

    In August 2025, she was transferred to the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) in Bryan, Texas, after a mysterious and eyebrow-raising interview with the Justice Department.

    The Texas prison is a minimum-security facility, considered one of the more comfortable and plush lockups in the country.

    “I feel like I have dropped through Alice in Wonderland’s looking glass,” she wrote to a family member following the transfer.

    She was all praise for the kitchen and said it “looks clean.”

    “No possums falling from the ceiling to fry unfortunately on ovens and become mingled with the food being served,” she wrote.

    After her transfer to Bryan, sources revealed that Maxwell took up a new job as a prison educator and insisted her pupils call her “Miss Maxwell.”

    The former British socialite has been taking classes as part of the facility’s Adult Continuing Education (ACE) program, described as a set of prisoner-led classes to enhance personal development and life skills.

    Insiders said Maxwell’s classes focused on female empowerment, with a syllabus covering the basics of writing, personal finances, and “mindset.”

    Only three students reportedly attended her first ACE class. They were tasked with writing an inspirational letter to themselves, starting with: “Why I am Special.”

    Later, the privately educated Oxford graduate announced that she would be screening the steamy 2022 romance film Redeeming Love in her next class.

    When word got around that the movie, with multiple s*x scenes, would be screened during her next lesson, roughly a dozen prisoners filed into her class.

    The sign-ups for her classes reportedly saw another spike when she announced that the next film to be screened would be Indecent Proposal.

    The 1993 romance drama narrates the story of a playboy billionaire (played by Robert Redford) who outrageously offers $1 million to sleep with a married woman (played by Demi Moore).

    “The movies have set pulses racing throughout the camp. There’s a line of people waiting to sign up,” an insider told the Daily Mail.

    A source explained that the idea behind screening these films is for the pupils to watch the movie and put themselves “in the shoes of the female character.”

    “Afterwards you discuss it and write in your journal about the choices they made and what they could have done differently,” the source told the outlet.

    “It’s a self-help exercise,” they continued. “But, of course, the prospect of earning credits while watching great movies is just too good to miss.”

    Since moving to the Texas facility, Maxwell has been lying low and teaching in the education department from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m.

    Her day also includes running on the treadmill in the indoor recreation room after class.

    Although she rarely makes an appearance for lunch and dinner, she joins other prisoners for breakfast and prefers eating fruit, the insider said. She offers her grits or oats to fellow inmates.

    Fellow inmates at the Tallahassee prison complained that Maxwell “always had BO (body odor)”

    While in the previous Florida facility, Maxwell reportedly had scuffles with her fellow inmates and was bullied by them.

    Sources said she taught a yoga class at FCI Tallahassee and held a position at the prison library.

    Maxwell never washed herself and “always had BO (body odor),” and fellow inmates at the Tallahassee prison complained about her hygiene.

    When she was transferred to the Texas facility, Maxwell was surrounded by inmates who were mostly serving prison sentences of less than five years.

    “There are a lot of women from other countries who don’t know anything about Jeffrey Epstein,” an insider said. “Others who barely went to school.”

    The source went on to say that Maxwell has been a “good teacher” since taking the classes.

    “They are just eager to learn from someone who is so well educated and knowledgeable,” they told the outlet. “And Miss Maxwell is really a good teacher. She’s sweet and has a lot of patience.”

    A woman who terrorized and participated in the s****l abuses and murders of hundreds of women and children is the last person in the world who should have the right to teach other women about being empowered. FUUUUUU.CCCCCKKK her. America needs to punish these sickos, not give them cushy sentences that are clearly a sham.

    She has information about the people in charge. "America" can't do s**t when the ruling class holds all the cards. NOTE: I am not a proponent of the 2nd Ammendment, so shut up about taking care of things that way. Find a MAGAt to do that for you, my foreign friends. I'm not shooting anybody, nor calling for it.

    It is called corruption. This happens all the time, this one is just more public. The rich and powerful are special people that deserve to be treated better than everyone else with special rules. That has been a hallmark of society throughout recorded history.
