Ghislaine Maxwell has been targeted by prison guards who have been bringing down the hammer because they believe she has the “right”, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Inside sources say the 61-year-old woman has been subjected to harsher treatment by staff at the federal prison in Tallahassee, Florida, where she has been serving her 20-year sentence for recruiting and trafficking underage girls for the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
They claim that the guards have been “toying” with the disgraced socialite by shining a light in her eyes at night, “banging keys and talking loudly about her in unflattering terms.”
FCI Tallahassee prison guards have not been ‘easy’ on Ghislaine Maxwell due to her ‘right-handed attitude’, sources tell DailyMail.com. She appears in the first video speaking to a British television show since prison last month.
The 61-year-old is serving her 20-year sentence at the low-security prison, where she mostly “stays close to her groupmates.”
Maxwell had previously complained that a light was flashed on her every 15 minutes when she was held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, while awaiting trial.
While FCI Tallahassee, a low-security prison, is much more comfortable, it seems the attitude of Maxwell, who was raised in extraordinary wealth by a billionaire father and media mogul, has still managed to annoy the guards. in her new cell where she has been housed since July.
Speaking to DailyMail.com, Holli Coulman, founder of prison consultancy firm Pink Lady Consultants, said guards “are not easy” with Maxwell during routine patrols because of his “insider attitude”.
Coulman, who has several clients serving time inside the same prison, added that Maxwell mostly “stays close to his fellow gang members.”
A ‘pod’ is a group of cells grouped separately from the rest of the prison with their own common area.
It rarely associates outside of that group. I was told that the guards like to play with her by turning on her lights at night, banging her keys and talking very loud and derogatory to her,” Coulman said.
I know the night guards are not easy on her when they pass her bunk and see that she is there.
Maxwell “rarely associates” outside of his on-site pod group, where he has used his privileged upbringing to increase his popularity among the 755-strong female population.
Maxwell, inmate 02879-509, works six hours a day in the prison library to pass the time and enjoys jogging on the prison’s 400-meter running track.
The disgraced British socialite initially struggled to cope with her new life behind bars, refusing to eat and complaining bitterly to prison authorities that her clothes did not fit her, sources said.
‘They don’t like him because of his authoritarian attitude. I’m sure it’s something he can’t change, as he behaves differently than, say, an inmate serving time for drugs. His upbringing was high class.
The Bureau of Prisons declined to comment on Maxwell’s specific case.
A spokesman said the Correctional Services Procedures Manual states: ‘When counting at night, a flashlight should be used wisely; however, enough light will be shed on the inmate to leave no doubt that the officer is counting human flesh.
Meanwhile, sources in Maxwell’s legal team have said that she is “fine” in prison and has been an “active participant” in his appeal, which is expected to be filed in the coming months.
He has retained Arthur Aidala, who is representing Harvey Weinstein in his appeal against his 23-year sentence for rape and sexual assault in his New York case.
The disgraced film producer will be sentenced in a second similar case in Los Angeles later this month.
Informants previously told DailyMail.com how Maxwell, designated inmate 02879-509, works six hours a day in the prison library to pass the time.
She has daily access to the prison’s sports facilities, including the 400-meter running track where she has been seen doing hour-long work.
Maxwell’s victims expected her to languish in grim solitude after she was found guilty of grooming girls for her pedophile lover Jeffrey Epstein.
FCI Tallahassee, potentially Maxwell’s home until at least July 17, 2037, is surrounded by a maze of 30-foot fences and cameras, but the sleek red brick building behind coils of jagged barbed wire looks more like to a high school or college campus.
Maxwell has used his education at Oxford University to win over some of the 755 inmates, who don’t seem to mind his elegance.
She dates con artist Linda Morrow, who helped her plastic surgeon husband swindle insurers out of $44 million by pretending that cosmetic procedures like tummy tucks, breast augmentations and “vaginal tightening” were medical necessities.

Another informant is Narcy Novak, a 65-year-old Florida woman serving life without parole for hiring hit men to murder her husband, hotelier Ben Novak Jr., and elderly mother, Bernice, in an attempt to seize the family owned.
During Maxwell’s two years in Brooklyn prison, her lawyers complained that she was “withering back to a shell of her former self,” was losing her hair, and was forced to scrub the shower walls afterward. to complain about ill-treatment.
In the legal documents, they claimed that he never had a “properly heated meal” and that the microwave used by the guards melted the plastic.
Another problem was that the water in the prison was “smelly and unpleasant” and so “turbid with heavy particles” that it turned brown, Maxwell’s lawyers complained.
Prosecutors said in legal documents that she was treated the same as any other inmate.
