RHOSLC Jen Shah and Theranos founder and billionaire Elizabeth Holmes are also serving time for wire fraud at the low-security women’s prison north of Houston.
BRYAN, Texas — Jeffrey Epstein’s former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, joined other notorious celebrities when she was transferred to a federal prison camp in Bryan, Texas.
‘I know nothing about it’
Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of luring teenage girls to be sexually abused by the disgraced financier and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
After she was transferred to Texas from a Florida prison, some questioned whether President Donald Trump, a onetime friend of Epstein’s, might grant her clemency.
“I’m allowed to do it, but nobody’s asked me to do it,” he told Newsmax in an interview broadcast Friday night. “I know nothing about it. I don’t know anything about the case, but I know I have the right to do it.”
The prison camp, about 100 miles north of Houston, houses 635 women, according to its website. Nearly all of the inmates were convicted of white-collar crimes, but Maxwell is an exception.

Holmes was sentenced to 11 years after her 2022 conviction on three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud after knowingly misleading Theranos investors.
She started the billion-dollar health tech company when she was 19 and became the nation’s youngest self-made billionaire and a media darling in 2014.
Shah was arrested in 2021 and charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
She adamantly denied that she did anything wrong to RHOSLC co-stars but eventually pleaded guilty and apologized.
Shah was initially sentenced to 6.5 years in prison in 2023. Her sentence was later reduced twice, and her release date is currently scheduled for November 3, 2026, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ inmate database.
