Prison officials may have cleared Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell to leave prison on work release assignments " a privilege experts say authorities virtually never grant convicted sex offenders. Maxwell currently serves a 20-year federal sentence for sex trafficking minors. Maxwell's Bureau of Prisons classification now lists her custody status as "OUT," indicating she can work outside the minimum-security Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas with minimal supervision. The development comes just weeks after the convicted child trafficker spent nine hours over two days providing information to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as part of what sources describe as a cooperation agreement.
