A former inmate who spent two years in prison with Ghislaine Maxwell has described the disgraced socialite as 'very nasty' and 'f*****g hated' by prison staff. The 47-year-old ex-prisoner, who was held at the Federal Correctional Institution Tallahassee on drugs charges from November 2023 to November 2025, said the 64-year-old Maxwell frequently skipped meal queues, rarely showered, and demanded special treatment during religious services.
According to the former inmate, Maxwell filed over 800 complaints in one year, covering issues from food portions to shower conditions. 'This lady, her sense of entitlement was just ridiculous,' the ex-inmate said. 'Prison staff — they f*****g hated her.' The complaints often resulted in changes, the source claimed.
Maxwell's hygiene habits became notorious among prisoners, with the ex-inmate alleging she worked out daily but rarely showered. During Jewish services, Maxwell demanded to pour her own ceremonial grape juice, leading to a confrontation. When the former inmate refused, Maxwell contacted her attorney, who ultimately forced the prison to provide her with personal grape juice containers.
Despite her status as a convicted sex offender — branded 'trash' and 'the lowest of the low' by fellow inmates — Maxwell taught a 12-week law class. The ex-inmate, who attended the course, described Maxwell as 'pretty knowledgeable' and 'a fairly good teacher,' advising inmates on filing legal motions.
The former inmate said Maxwell never spoke about Jeffrey Epstein or the Royal Family. Her closest friends in prison included a woman convicted of murdering her whole family and another with child sex charges. On one occasion, Maxwell became upset after inmates watched the TV series 'Who is Ghislaine Maxwell?' in the common area, going 'bananas' upon discovering the programme.
