Prison staff who leaked information about Ghislaine Maxwell’s preferential treatment have been fired, a lawyer for the convicted sex trafficker said.
Maxwell, a longtime associate of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was moved to a minimum security prison known as Camp Bryan after meeting with the Justice Department earlier this year. The DOJ interview followed backlash against the Trump administration for its handling of government files related to Epstein.

Why is our government so dedicated to protecting elite criminals and their treatment?
ceenote@lemmy.world · 221 pts · 281d
Because our government is run by elite criminals, obviously.

Well nothing about them is elite. They are just criminals.

I suppose it would be more accurate to say "because the wealthy have class solidarity."

Fucking hell, if those criminals are the elite of their kind, I dread to think what the shitty, incompetent criminals are like.

One of them ran a thing called "Douche" or something at the beginning of the year

Because our government is predominantly made up of elite criminals who have just not been caught yet. It's just professional courtesy, really.

Because they're in solidarity with their own class interests. No doubt that there are a bunch of elected officials who would feature in the Epstein files if they were released in full, but even those that wouldn't still have a vested interest in stabilising the current order. Doing this sets a precedent that even if consequences come for some, they will be protected.
Not every elected representative is a corrupt asshole, but I'd wager it's the majority. Some of them probably even think they're acting benevolent in acting to reinforce and protect their own power.
The system isn't broken, it's working exactly as intended.

Because they're friends

Because they defer to power.

I would argue that it's important to protect any criminal's treatment while imprisoned..... however, this is especially hypocritical for them considering how they normally regard 99% of the people in prison.

Self interest.

Maybe they’re the only ones they can actually empathize with because they can see themselves in an elite prison someday.

It's what happens when the rich have nothing to fear from the government

A local reporter tried to discuss more with the whistleblower and got a little more

Her answer about security at the end is just perfect

Amazing that in the AI drone future dogs are still one of the best security systems. I do wonder if we could train birds to take down quad copters and drones
CaptPretentious@lemmy.world · 43 pts · 281d
I have the absolute most respect for any whistleblower. I dread to imagine what kind of world we'd be in w/o them. Example, Snowden.
Fedizen@lemmy.world · 42 pts · 281d
Unless they're planning on killing her this seems like its just as bad for PR as straight up pardoning her.
zebidiah@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 281d
They're going to say she was mauled to death by the vicious dogs (puppies)
CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works · 30 pts · 281d
They've also been transferring prisoners to maximum security prisons who leak information about her treatment.

Thank goodness and jolly good too. Heaven forbid that anyone dares to look at the internal processes in place at a (checks nodes) prison.
