Jeanine Pirro trashes ‘yoga rehab’ for criminals as Maxwell lands in posh prison with yoga

Jeanine Pirro appeared on the local Washington, D.C. Fox outlet to complain about criminals being "rehabilitated with ice cream socials and yoga."

Standing next to President Donald Trump on Monday for a press conference, Trump claimed that he was going to take over the city's police to eradicate crime. He and Pirro also advocate changing city laws to make 14, 15, and 16-year-olds adults under the law. It would allow them to prosecute teenagers more harshly and put them in adult prisons.

Pirro told Fox 5 that children caught committing crimes are effectively getting away with it because Washington doesn't consider the younger teens to be adults.

A Washington Post exposé in June revealed the opposite. D.C. teens who could be rehabilitated "languished in a violent detention center instead." There are extensive delays, a shortage of beds in the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services' drug rehab programs, and no psychiatric treatment programs exist.

Pirro's comments come at an awkward time for the Trump administration after the Justice Department intervened to change the rules for Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, who was recently moved to what some describe as a kind of "country club" prison.

Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison after being found guilty of "facilitating and participating in the sexual abuse of children" and other crimes, the DOJ said in a 2021 release.

Due to the severity of the crimes, Maxwell was ineligible to serve her 20-year sentence in the minimum-security camp, Federal Prison Camp Bryan, near Houston, Texas. However, after speaking with Trump's former personal attorney, Maxwell got to move.

Legal analyst and podcaster Allison Gill was the first to report a Bureau of Prisons source who called the move "such obvious corruption."

Gill questioned whether it was part of a deal made between Trump's ex-attorney, Todd Blanche, and Maxwell.

"The unit that approves waivers for sex offenders to be moved to minimum security camps is the Designation and Sentence Computation Center near Dallas. Currently, the senior deputy assistant director is Rick Stover, a career BOP employee who speaks frequently with White House officials," Gill wrote.

Maxwell's new home doesn't require the typical orange jumpsuit. Instead, inmates are given "khaki pants and a khaki shirt," the BBC reported. The women can use a gym facility and take yoga classes, the Daily Telegraph said in one report. Some are also allowed to participate in a puppy training program for service animals, but the program's leader barred Maxwell.

So, while Pirro wants harsher prison conditions for teens, her bosses at the DOJ secured a waiver for a convicted sex offender to enjoy her 20 years in a more friendly environment.
