In 2025, Ghislaine Maxwell’s cushy new prison perks included a transfer to a low-security facility, courtesy of Trump loyalists.

But the world soon connected the dots.

The woman who procured victims for Jeffrey Epstein was now sharing a prison with the likes of Jen Shah and Elizabeth Holmes.

But the RHOSLC alum is out. What does Jen Shah have to say about her most notorious fellow inmate?

She never imagined sharing a minimum security prison with a criminal like this

During her first interview since leaving prison, Jen Shah told People about life behind bars, about her crimes, and about her own sense of guilt.

(She did sound remorseful, even if she perhaps spent a little too much time explaining how she had trusted the wrong people.)

Last year, the Trump regime went to extraordinary measures to transfer disgraced criminal Ghislaine Maxwell to Camp Bryan, a minimum security prison.

That is unusual for a monster like Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence. It only makes sense when you learn that Maxwell had claimed to have no incriminating testimony regarding Trump’s participation in Epstein’s crimes.

Shah says that she and Maxwell had only “limited interactions” behind bars. And it doesn’t sound like she wanted to change that.

“I just feel like there should be a level of remorse for the victims,” Shah expressed.

“And she made it very publicly known — at least to Elizabeth and I — that there’s no remorse there,” she shared. “She outrightly said it.”

According to the fallen Bravolebrity, she recalled a specific instance when the victims were speaking on television.

Maxwell, she described, “was just in complete disregard for them.”

“And this is when they are pouring their hearts out in front of Congress for those files to be released,” Shah added. “To be so dismissive of that? That just didn’t sit with me the right way.”

What about the special privileges that Maxwell is getting?

Jen Shah recalled that “she was treated very well there.”

She detailed: “She was afforded things that nobody else was afforded, like private workout sessions, special meals, bottled water.”

All of this echoes previous reporting on Maxwell’s status after her silence earned Trump’s favor.

“Everybody witnessed it,” Shah claimed. “And I know that firsthand because I worked in [recreation] so I would have to clean things up.”

She added: “I was also asked for certain equipment because she was going to go work out late at night.”

Ghislaine Maxwell did not always have such luxurious accommodations.

That all changed after her meeting with Trump’s former personal attorney, who has since become a higher-up at the Department of Justice.

Suddenly, she was enjoying privileges that would be unheard of even for a white collar criminal — like Shah. But Maxwell is not a white collar criminal. She found victims for Epstein. She’s a monster.

It is stories like these that make us feel like America is a failed state. But it’s important that we not despair or give up, even when brazen corruption runs rampant.

We can reclaim our nation. We can punish the villains.

Her tone totally changes when discussing Elizabeth Holmes

In contrast to discussing Maxwell, Shah shared that she and Elizabeth Holmes — or “Lizzie,” as she calls her — are “good friends.”

“As another high-profile prisoner, there are just certain things you’re both dealing with, so you naturally come together in those instances,” the Bravolebrity reflected.

But they weren’t of the same mind when it came to acknowledging their crimes.

“I had to accept the mistakes that I made and take accountability,” Shah explained. “Elizabeth, she’s continued to defend her innocence while she’s been there.”

When she asked Holmes about her continued insistence, she recalled, Holmes “paused and said, ‘My kids. I want them to know that I’m innocent.’”
