The all-female jail is located just five hours from Epstein's Palm Beach mansion
Socialite sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has been transferred to a cushy Florida club fed prison to serve her 20-year prison sentence.
According to the Daily Mail, the new home of the 60-year-old former muse, confidant and co-conspirator of billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is FCI Tallahassee, a low-security prison in the Florida Panhandle.
Maxwell was convicted last December of a slew of sex-trafficking crimes against young women and underage girls and was sentenced in June.
The all-female jail is located just five hours from Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion where the pair committed their heinous crimes.
Maxwell had preferred FCI Danbury in Connecticut and that prison was recommended by Judge Alison Nathan. But the U.S. Bureau of Prisons has the final say and sent her to Florida.
Her legal eagles have indicated they intend to appeal the publishing heiress’s conviction and long prison sentence.
At the Tallahassee jailhouse, the Oxford graduate will have to ditch the Prada and other haute couture she has worn since her teens for khaki pants, khaki shirt, underwear, bra, socks, and authorized shoes. She can also don a khaki dress if she’s in the mood.
OTHER DETAILS OF HER INCARCERATION:
— FCI Tallahassee opened in 1938 and houses 755 female inmates. In addition to their prison uniform, each convict is issued deodorant, soap, socks, shampoo, toothpaste and a towel.
— Hey, sleepy head! Wake up call is 6 a.m. and she will have to wear an ID at all times.
— Maxwell will be forced to share a cell with another inmate and guards can search them at any time.
— But wait! During her incarceration, Maxwell can participate in yoga, pilates, weightlifting, softball, flag football, frisbee and there’s a track for running. The prison also holds a talent show.
— She can also become an apprentice electrician, baker, horticulturist, plumber and cosmetologist.
But a more likely career may be jailhouse lawyer. Throughout her incarceration, Maxwell frequently complained about conditions and her treatment at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.
Among her complaints: Invasive searches, 24-hour filming of her, shining a flashlight in her cell every 15 minutes, the food, and just about everything else.
During her nearly two years locked up there, Maxwell taught other inmates yoga and English.
Towards the end of her sentencing hearing, her lawyers tossed her father, late publishing magnate Robert Maxwell, under the bus and claimed he was the root of Ghislaine’s woes. Epstein, her lawyers opined, was a proxy for her father, who died mysteriously in 1991.
The Danbury prison offered Maxwell an opportunity to confront her alleged demons and traumas, her lawyers said.
The four women who were Maxwell’s accusers at trial called her apologies “hollow” and described her as a very dangerous woman.
