(NewsNation) — TV and film actress Alicia Arden, an alleged survivor of Jeffrey Epstein, says Ghislaine Maxwell should not remain in a minimum security Texas prison camp.

Arden joined “Banfield” alongside attorney Gloria Allred to discuss the possibility of grand jury transcripts being unsealed in the sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, who was Epstein’s former chief enabler.

Maxwell was recently moved from a federal prison in Florida to a prison camp in Texas without explanation.

“I think that she should be moved back to the facility where she was, and that’s where she’s serving her time,” Arden told NewsNation. “Why should she be moved to a lower facility with not as much protection, and with more freedom there?”

A federal judge is considering a government request to release transcripts of Maxwell’s recent two-day interview with a senior Justice Department official.

In letters filed this week to the judge in the Maxwell case, some survivors say they’d support the release of grand jury records if they could see them first and redact sensitive information. Others in that group, including Arden, want everything out in the open.

“The truth should come out, and it’s important for me, as a victim. I think I have a right to see them — and the other victims — they have a right to see them,” Arden added.

“I don’t really feel that it should be hidden from us. We all have a right to see that.”
