Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted for her involvement in child sex trafficking alongside Jeffrey Epstein, is reportedly not experiencing suicidal thoughts, according to a former inmate who shared a prison dormitory with her in Tallahassee, Florida.
This revelation comes from Jessica Watkins, a transgender member of the Oath Keepers who was incarcerated for her role in the January 6 Capitol riot in Washington, D.C., in 2021.
As reported by The Post Millennial, Watkins stated that Maxwell "isn't suicidal in the least." This assertion is particularly noteworthy given the circumstances surrounding Epstein's death in 2019, which was officially ruled a suicide while he awaited trial in a New York jail.
The incident has fueled widespread speculation and conspiracy theories suggesting that Epstein was murdered to prevent him from disclosing information about other individuals potentially involved in his criminal activities.
Watkins, who shared the women's prison with Maxwell, told the Daily Mail that Maxwell "mostly kept to herself inside the prison." She also expressed a desire to preempt any "potential narratives" about Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence following her 2022 conviction. Describing their living conditions, Watkins noted that the dormitory was "an open door, it's a big bay full of bunk beds, there is not cells."
Recalling her initial encounter with Maxwell, Watkins said, "I walked by and seen her there. I did a double take because I recognized her face immediately from the news. I was like 'is that who I think it is?'" The two women reportedly engaged in brief conversations during exercise sessions in the prison yard, though they avoided discussing their respective legal cases. Maxwell did, however, mention Epstein once, stating, "the DOJ had no interest in her until after, her exact words were until after Jeffrey, and then she paused for a second and said died."
Maxwell is currently seeking a review of her case by the Supreme Court, as rumors about Epstein, his case files, and his alleged client list continue to circulate. She contends that a "co-conspirator's clause" in Epstein's 2007 non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors in Florida should have precluded her subsequent prosecution in New York.
However, the Department of Justice, aligning with both a lower district court and a federal appeals court, has advised the Supreme Court against reviewing the case. Solicitor General D. John Sauer stated, "That contention is incorrect, and petitioner does not show that it would succeed in any court of appeals."
There is a growing call from some members of Congress for Maxwell to testify publicly about Epstein's activities. Maxwell has expressed her willingness to "reveal the truth" and has indicated that she was never offered a plea deal.
A source informed the Daily Mail, "Despite the rumors, Ghislaine was never offered any kind of plea deal. She would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story. No one from the government has ever asked her to share what she knows. She remains the only person to be jailed in connection to Epstein and she would welcome the chance to tell the American public the truth."
