Speaking to CNN this week, Garcia said that the prison’s warden told the committee staff during the visit on Tuesday that Maxwell, “of the 600-plus women that are there, she is the only convicted sex offender at that facility, and he could not answer and does not know why she was actually moved there”.

Garcia also said that the staff were not granted access to Maxwell during the visit.

“Uniformly, by the way, all the staff came back with the same conclusion, which is that this is a park-like campus, and Ghislaine Maxwell should not be there,” he added.
