Speaking on Bulwark on Sunday, Liz Oyer says Bureau of Prisons rules require anyone convicted of a sex offense, including sex trafficking of minors, to be held in at least a low-security facility. She says Todd Blanche transferred Maxwell from a low-security prison to a minimum-security facility, where Maxwell says the food and living conditions are better. Oyer says it appears to be a benefit for Maxwell after she gave Blanche an exculpatory statement about Donald Trump.

So for the protection of the community the Bureau of Prisons has a rule that says that anyone convicted of a sex offense, which would include sex trafficking of minors, which is what Maxwell was convicted of, has to be housed in at least a low -security facility. The Bureau of Prisons has over 120 different prisons around the country, dozens of them house women, and most women are housed in either a low security or a minimum security facility. Maxwell was in the low security facility and she didn't like it. And she was transferred by Todd Blanche. And I can dive into why we know it was by Todd Blanche to this minimum security facility. And according to her own statements, she is much happier there. She's found that the food is better, the amenities are nicer, the living conditions are nicer. And she got this as a benefit. It clearly appears that it was a benefit for her providing this sort of exculpatory statement about Donald Trump to Todd Blinch.
