Epstein sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell banned from training service puppies at 'Club Fed': report

Source: The Independent

Thursday 07 August 2025 05:28 EDT


Ghislaine Maxwell, the Jeffrey Epstein accomplice and convicted sex trafficker, has been banned from training service puppies at the prison camp in Texas where she was transferred last week, according to a report.

Maxwell, 63, was sentenced to 20 years behind bars in 2022 for helping Epstein, her former boyfriend, groom underage girls for sex but has recently returned to the spotlight amid the furore over Donald Trump’s administration’s failure to release all federal files on the late pedophile, despite intense pressure from the president’s supporters to do so.

The disgraced British socialite was previously being held in Tallahassee, Florida, but, shortly after sitting for two days of interviews with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, was quietly transferred to Federal Prison Camp Bryan in southeastern Texas on Friday. While her minimum-security new home is known for its comparatively peaceful atmosphere and has been dubbed “Club Fed,” Maxwell will not be allowed to join the institution’s other inmates in helping to train puppies during her stay.

Paige Mazzoni, the chief executive officer of Canine Companions, the organization that runs programs at Bryan, told NBC News that Maxwell would not be invited to participate. “We do not allow anyone whose crime involves abuse towards minors or animals – including any crime of a sexual nature,” Mazzoni said. “That’s a hard policy we have, so she will not be able to.”

Many in congress are lawyers (#2) but in the regime the TV personalities are abundant, too.

some of whom are bound to have been sexually abused at some point in their lives. Somehow I doubt she'll be the queen bee there. Sex offenders don't do well in prison.

Have you heard of anything bad happening to her?

Club Fed for women is probably full of white-collar criminals. Martha Stewart served at a Federal Prison in WV known as "Camp Cupcake".

In high security facilities sex offenders are segregated for other offenders. At her new low security placement she'll be in the general population.

My prediction is that she'll be fine.

puppy cruelty content, but you're too spot on!

I was hoping she would be denied access to the pups. Shes cruel and doesn't deserve the love a pup can give.

claiming he was helping the youth gain employment and learn responsibility by working at his spa. Not a touch of irony. They are into it. Same with the church types who "forgive" pastors for abusing children and the politicians who were caught chasing after teen girls in shopping malls and social media apps.

From the article:

Paige Mazzoni, the chief executive officer of Canine Companions, the organization that runs programs at Bryan, told NBC News that Maxwell would not be invited to participate.

She added that the restriction was in place to protect the young dogs involved, explaining: “Those are crimes against the vulnerable, and you’re putting them with a puppy who is vulnerable.”
