Ghislaine Maxwell, known as “Mary Poppins” by inmates at her current prison due to her refined accent and constant use of an umbrella, has been drawing attention at the Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas, also known as “Club Med” for its relaxed environment. Maxwell, a convicted sex trafficker, is often spotted with her umbrella, even in cooler weather.
Inmates at the facility have humorously likened Maxwell to the fictional British nanny Mary Poppins, known for her posh demeanor and magical umbrella. However, the use of the umbrella by Maxwell serves a dual purpose – not only to shield herself from the sun but also to maintain a low profile as instructed by prison officials amidst growing animosity from other prisoners.
Despite the comfortable setting at FPC Bryan, which has been dubbed as America’s most luxurious prison, resentment towards Maxwell persists among her fellow inmates. Following her transfer from a harsher facility in Florida, concerns have arisen over the perceived preferential treatment she receives. Maxwell’s move to the minimum-security prison, nicknamed “Camp Cupcake,” has raised eyebrows as it contradicts US prison policies for sex crime convicts.
Maxwell’s relocation to FPC Bryan came shortly after her discussions with Trump administration lawyers regarding her connection to Epstein, prompting speculation about potential presidential intervention. As tensions rise in the prison, guards remain vigilant for any disturbances, recognizing Maxwell’s controversial status within the penal system.
Inmates openly mock Maxwell’s aristocratic accent, finding amusement in her distinctive speech patterns. The “Mary Poppins” moniker adds to the ongoing challenges faced by Maxwell, once a prominent figure in high society now reduced to a federal prisoner serving a lengthy sentence for her involvement in underage sex trafficking alongside Jeffrey Epstein.
