Ghislaine Maxwell’s audacious bid to get job at cushy lock-up that would let her OUTSIDE the prison’s walls

Ghislaine Maxwell is on the hunt for a job after being rejected for a cushy new role chauffeuring inmates in and out of prison, Daily Mail can exclusively reveal.

Maxwell recently transferred to Federal Prison Camp Bryan where felons can apply for coveted ‘town driver’ positions ferrying their fellow cons to medical appointments, bus stops and airports.

But her application was quietly tossed out after camp authorities determined the 63-year-old sex offender was too much of a flight risk to be allowed out unsupervised.

Another woman was instead picked for the prized appointment considered the closest thing to freedom that a prisoner can hope for while incarcerated at the minimum-security lockup 100 miles northwest of Houston.

The decision is said to have infuriated Maxwell who is serving 20 years for pimping young girls for her pedophile ex, Jeffrey Epstein, who died behind bars in 2019.

‘There was never any chance they’d let her near a van, let alone going out alone,’ a prison source told Daily Mail.

‘The girls told her there was no way she’d get it but she was still really annoyed.’

Town driver jobs are advertised on the camp bulletin board and are among the most sought-after and well-paid jobs available behind bars.

They’re typically awarded to a handful of trusted, well-behaved inmates who are close to release and know their way around the area because they’ve previously lived there or have links to the city of Bryan.

Drivers carry a prison-issue cell phone to track their position via GPS and have to check in regularly. Extra stops or outgoing phone calls are strictly forbidden.

‘Jobs are always discretionary. Any inmate has a right to apply for a job, to the best of my knowledge,’ said Christopher Zoukis, an author, federal prison expert and criminal justice advocate.

‘Given her notoriety and the nature of her offense, those two things alone should be an automatic no. I would think they probably laughed when she applied.’

Maxwell spent the first three years of her sentence at FCI Tallahassee, where she worked in the law library, taught yoga and hosted etiquette classes for the all-female prison population.

She was briefly let out of jail last month to speak with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche amid intense pressure on President Donald Trump to release the ‘Epstein Files’ – a trove of secret documents supposedly containing the dead pedophile’s VIP client list.

Maxwell’s transfer days later to Bryan – a far more relaxed facility typically for non-violent, white-collar criminals – was seen as unprecedented for someone convicted on multiple counts of trafficking minors.

Her attorney, David Oscar Markus, insisted it was done on safety grounds, however, not because of favoritism or any imminent prospect of a Presidential pardon.

‘I’m surprised to hear my progressive friends criticizing more humane prisons and Ghislaine’s transfer to a safer facility, especially after she faced serious danger in Tallahassee,’ he wrote on X.

‘The outrage machine wants to turn a safer placement into a scandal.’

Maxwell has kept a low profile inside Bryan, where the 618 inmates include Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, sentenced to more than 11 years for fraud, and former Real Housewife Jen Shah, serving a six-and-a-half year stretch for conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

She’s able to move relatively freely around the camp, sleeps in dormitory-style accommodation in B1 unit, one of four housing blocks, and fraternizes with a small handful of inmates she met at Jewish prayer services, sources tell us.

Canine Companions, which places puppies in federal prisons for inmates to groom, exercise and train as service dogs, has already said it will not allow Maxwell to interact with the seven animals currently on site.

‘We do not allow anyone who has committed crimes against animals or minors. That’s because they’re vulnerable populations,’ CEO Paige Mazzoni told CNN.

The disgraced socialite will likely find herself barred from the camp’s work release program, which allows inmates to leave custody to become certified nursing assistants, for similar reasons.

‘Maxwell may think she is a celebrity in the outside world but in Bryan she’s just a number,’ added our source.

‘No special privileges. Get in line just like everyone else.’

News of Maxwell’s job rejection comes after the Justice Department released audio and transcripts from her two-day sit down with Blanche which offered up precious new clues about the names on Epstein’s supposed client list.

Maxwell said President Bill Clinton ‘absolutely never went’ to the financier’s private Caribbean island and claimed a notorious photo of Prince Andrew with the late Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre was fake.

She also offered a robust defense of President Trump, describing him as a ‘gentleman in all respects’ while insisting she never saw him engage in inappropriate behavior when he socialized with the warped tycoon in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Maxwell said her own relationship with Epstein began with a one-night stand in 1992 but became cold and loveless over the next decade as the billionaire refused to have regular sex and resisted her desire to have a child.

She voiced her belief that he was murdered while awaiting trial and that his death inside New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center was staged to look like a suicide.

Daily Mail contacted both Maxwell’s attorney, Markus, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons for comment but did not receive a response from either.
