Maxwell was moved to Federal Prison Camp Bryan, a minimum-security prison for women, located roughly 6 miles from Texas A&M University in College Station in Bryan, Texas.

Neighbors of the prison camp in Bryan have noticed heightened security — armed guards, patrol vehicles and surveillance cameras — after Ghislaine Maxwell's arrival.

So on Friday, Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) demanded a formal explanation for the move from the director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Given the highly unusual nature of the transfer, it would have had to be personally approved by a high-level BOP staffer.
