Maxwell is a multi national and has UK French & US citizenship. One of the disadvantages of adopting multi citizenships is that when you are in one of your adopted countries you are a full citizen of it & subject to all of its laws whether they be good or bad ones. While she is in the USA she is not in effect a Brit and the UK does not have any special interest in what is an internal matter between another country and one of its own citizen. Partuculaly where there has been a crime & due process has been fully observed.
Maxwell is a US citizen found guilty by a properly constituted US Court and is she going to spend 20 years in a US jail. I can't see the UK Government being remotely intrested in moving her back here. For all intent and purposed she's a Yank and she should serve her time in her own country which after all has been her main place of residence for the past 30 years. Why would the UK authorities think that they had any duty towards her or that she had a case to request a move to the UK from her own country? There again why doesn't she try to get a move to France the prison food must be better?
I would also guess that elements of the British establishment aren't at all that keen to have her back here where there is a danger that over the years she would be constantly referred to by the press. Digging up all that nasty business about Andy again & again & embarrasing the Royal Family. Maxwell would certainly have the pontential to become a celebrity convict over here so I think that they will want her out of sight and out of mind & long forgotten about on the other side of the Atlantic.
there's often prisoner swaps. i knew an English lad who committed murder in Washington state. he was sentenced to 23 years there but ended up doing most of it in UK jails.
