J6 prisoner who shared cell with Ghislaine Maxwell says she’s not suicidal
Convicted child sex trafficker and Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell is apparently not at all suicidal. This comes from a former prisoner who shared a prison dorm in Tallahassee, Florida with Maxwell after a conviction for participating in the J6 Capitol riot in Washington in 2021.
The fellow prisoner said that Maxwell “isn’t suidical in the least.” Epstein reportedly killed himself while awaiting trial in a New York jail in 2019. Speculation swirled afterwards that the report of suicide was false and that he’d been killed in prison to keep him quiet about who else was potentially involved
Transgender Oath Keeper Jessica Watkins, who participated in the J6 riot, joined Maxwell in the women’s prison and told the Daily Mail that Maxwell “mostly kept to herself inside the prison.”
The Mail reports that Watkins wanted “ahead of potential narratives” about Maxwell, who is serving 20 years in prison and was sentenced in 2022. The dorm they shared, per Watkins is “an open door, it’s a big bay full of bunk beds, there is not cells.”
“I walked by and seen her there,” Watkins told the Mail, saying “I did a double take because I recognized her face immediately from the news. I was like ‘is that who I think it is?'”
Watkins and Maxwell spoke a few times a week while exercising in the year and while they didn’t speak about their cases, Maxwell mentioned Epstein once.
“She did say that 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. That was the only time he ever came up,” said Watkins.
Maxwell urged the Supreme Court to review her case as rumors about Epstein, his case files, and his alleged client list were back making headlines. She argued that a “co-conspirator’s clause in Epstein’s 2007 non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors in Florida barred her subsequent prosecution in New York.”
The Department of Justice, siding with a lower district court and federal appeals court, told the Supreme Court there was no cause for review. “That contention is incorrect, and petitioner does not show that it would succeed in any court of appeals,” said Solicitor General D. John Sauer.
Some in Congress have asked that Maxwell testify before Congress in a public hearing to answer questions about Epstein. She has said that she is prepared to reveal “the truth.”
“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,” a source told the Daily Mail. “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.”
