Oleanvine Pickering-Maynard released from US prison
According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), Maynard, 63, who was incarcerated at RRM Baltimore in Maryland, was released on March 21, 2025.
The reason for her early release is unknown.
Kadeem S. Maynard to be released April 1
Her son Kadeem, who was sentenced to 4.75 years in jail in November 2023 for his role in the conspiracy, is also set for early release.
Kadeem, who is being held at FCI Miami, a low-security federal prison in Florida, will be released on April 1, 2025.
Both had pleaded guilty under a plea deal reached in June 2023 to conspiracy to import a controlled substance. The proffer agreements for the Maynards indicated that they, alongside former VI Premier Andrew A. Fahie, conspired with a confidential source of the Drug Enforcement Administration to smuggle thousands of kilograms of cocaine through Tortola waters.
Meanwhile, Mr Fahie, who was convicted in February 2024 on charges of conspiracy to import cocaine and money laundering, remains incarcerated at Jesup Federal Correctional Institution, a low-security federal prison in Georgia.
He has a release date of June 4, 2033.

Hopefully local charges are laid against her and she is sent to Bali. She helped to bring the BVI name into much dispute and embarrassment. No hero’s welcome for she
Here belongs to you???????
Go tell your m**** and her sour underneath don't come back here.
Ayo can’t keep the Maynard’s out ayo mouth !
All you haters feel they would rot in jail !
God has come through for them .
You all say she wicked, but God is the judge eat you all hearts out!
Leave what you can’t understand alone
Where are the morals of people like her? And the people who are supporting her? She is no hero. She is a criminal who sought to gain wealth through illegal means, disregarding the consequences for her own people. This is the kind of person who should be held accountable and shunned by society, not excused or defended. The Virgin Islands deserves better. Those who support her are a disgrace and reveal their own lack of integrity.
Stand up for the law!
Nothing this place loves more than rewarding these types of persons. This lady in this instance probably has her "big job" waiting on her return.
So, it was shocking & disappointing when I heard she and her son were caught up in this mess with the former Premier. As a law abiding person and someone who often speak out against those who commit crimes in our community on these blogs, I have spoken out in general against their actions consistent with my stance on criminal activity.
I'm the type of person who can love you and tell you that you are wrong as well.
However, I did not then nor now wish them harm including our former Premier. Yes, they did wrong, but I am not one to judge. I've had my say on these blogs about their actions specifically their legal outlook. I made no excuses for them. In my view, they had made their beds and will have to lay in it.
Now that all three have gone thru the legal process, and are paying or have paid their debt to society, I personally am happy that she has been released and given a second chance. I think she paid a heavy price for her wrongdoings that not only entangled her but her son as well. She will be paying that heavy price for the remainder of her life.
I believe that she will be a better person moving forward, and understand going forward that she as parents have to set the example for her children, and not follow them down a criminal road.
Now, it's likely if she did not have US citizenship, she will definitely be deported back to Tortola. Where else can they send her? It's her home. The same for her son once he is released.
As for the former Premier, I predicted based on my knowledge on how these cases unfold, how all these cases were going to turn out, in terms of their convictions. I was not surprised by their convictions, and am I not surprised by these early releases. I predict that the former Premier will be released way before the stated release time in 2026. They will hold on to him a little longer before he is released, but he also will be released earlier than stated.
As I said before on these blogs, let this be a lesson for everyone who gets involved in the drug trade. Its a prison cell or death. Pick your poison. Get out while you can. Your choices are not good. There is nothing wrong making an honest living. Trying to get rich fast comes at a steep price. Proceed with caution.
Nah. Just because she is a middle class BVI woman does not mean she should get extra special treatment.
Same entitledness as always.
And I bet you got a set of millions hidden away in a secret bank account from her previous abuses of her position in the port.
If you read what I wrote carefully, you should have noted that
a) I stated they made their beds and will have to lie in them.
b) I make nor judgments. It was up to the court, and they were found guilty and have paid or are paying the price for their crimes.
c) I do not condone crime as so many people here in the BVI does.
d) If you were able to follow my previous postings on this matter, it would be clear to you that I am a law and order type. I have and will never support of criminal activity. I always speak against it.
e) I have also spoken out about the lack of local criminal charges at the beginning of this mess.
Now, I said what I said based on fact that these trials are over and punishments have been administered. Yes, she was sentenced to 9 years but clearly due to her cooperation with the government, she has been rewarded with early release. It is what it is. I gain none from it. It's up to the BVI to pursue if they will local charges, but I doubt they will.
As I said, I was surprised and disappointed to learn of her criminal behavior. Never condoned it or suggested they should be treated with kids gloves. They were convicted of serious crimes that placed the country in a very bad light. However, it's no secret that many people in the BVI are allegedly involved in the drug trade. It's just happens those three got caught. Others will.
Now, if the US has determined that she has been adequately punished for her crime, I am not going to argue against their decision. Only them and her know the extent of her corporation and why she is now free. It is what it is.
Again, I urge anyone to stay away from drugs either using them or selling them. The countless of people who have been gunned down in this country over drugs who are in the graveyards and those who have been incarcerated included these three should give any thinking person reasons to get out while they can. Its on them.
Your inquiring mind wishes to know. Ok. I'm just a blogger who pays attention and knows quite a bit about the doings about these islands. I see things from Sage Mountain from 360 degrees angles and my hawk's eye view. I am everywhere. I may be next to you in a bank, on the ferry, at a church, at a restaurant on the beach. You will not find me at a strip club. I may be your neighbor. You may have passed me on the streets while driving. I'm everywhere. Next time I see you, I will wink. Look out for it.
Of course, she may not last if she comes back here..she must have sung like a canary to get out early like that.
