Sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell ‘living in fear of revenge beating after snitching on violent inmates’
GHISLAINE Maxwell is living in constant fear of a prison punch-up after she snitched on two violent inmates who were trying to extort her, reports claim.
The disgraced socialite is said to have a target on her back after ratting out the pair for demanding items from her commissary order.
The Cuban cons were both thrown into solitary confinement for 47 days after Maxwell reported them to authorities at FCI Tallahassee.
But they have now reportedly been released back into the general population at the Florida prison with a thirst for revenge.
Maxwell, 61, is understood to be “freaking out” at the prospect of the pair dishing out some payback, according to the Daily Mail.
The sex trafficker is so terrified of a brutal beatdown behind bars that she is even refusing to use the shower stalls – a notorious spot for prisoners to be ambushed.
Her “tattooed, tall and thick” rivals have been shipped off to a different unit, but are reportedly still baying for Maxwell’s blood.
She is being escorted to her prison library job every day by a guard, but is constantly looking over her shoulder after being labelled a snitch.
A source said: “Las Cubanas have a reputation for being tough and mean inside jail and they don’t let anything slide.
“They are saying Maxwell needs to pay for the 47.
“Snitches get stitches, as the saying goes. They will beat her up the first chance they get.”
The fearsome females are said to have decided to put the squeeze on Maxwell because they deemed her to be aloof and snobbish.
It is claimed that the duo discovered the ex-socialite, who is vegan, had an “arrangement” with a kitchen worker who would procure extra fruit, veg and tofu for her to chow down on.
Maxwell would then allegedly trade her goodies for items bought at the prison commissary store, such as snacks, candy and toiletries.
After cottoning on to her scheme, the two inmates “demanded she spends her entire commissary limit of $360 on things for them otherwise they would report her.”
The insider continued: “They even wrote her a note – which was a bad idea as Max took that to the Lieutenant’s office as evidence of blackmail.
“They take that sort of thing very seriously as it’s considered to be threatening someone.
“The girls each spent 47 days in the SHU and they are super angry about it.
“The first rule of life inside is you never snitch. If you have a problem, you handle it with the other inmate, one on one, usually by fighting.”
The Special Housing Unit – dubbed SHU – is a secured, separate are of the prison where inmates are sent for punishment.
They are locked up for 23 hours a day in hellish cells with no human contact, as even their meals come through slits in the door.
Maxwell herself was holed up in the SHU for 48 hours after her bombshell jailhouse interview with Jeremy Kyle in January.
Prison officials reportedly offered to move her into protective custody – where she was housed for two years before her sentencing – but she refused.
The source alleged that Maxwell “basically had a nervous breakdown” and even demanded a transfer after the duo were freed from the SHU.
They continued: “One of the Cubans has a particular reputation for starting fights and intimidating other inmates.
“She gets out later this month, so Max is praying the guards can keep her safe until then.”
Maxwell was jailed for 20 years in 2021 after she was found guilty of child sex trafficking and grooming girls for her twisted paedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein.
She lured vulnerable teenagers for the vile multi-millionaire to abuse at his various luxurious properties – with the pair described as “partners in crime“.
But she has launched an appeal to overturn her convictions, led by lawyer Arthur Aidala, claiming she was used as a “proxy.”
Her legal team has argued she was a scapegoat to “satisfy public rage” after Epstein hung himself in jail in 2019.
She memorably said it was a misconception that she is the “cruellest, meanest, most poisonous person” in a TalkTV interview.
Maxwell is said to be funding her appeal with her million-dollar divorce deal after finalising her split from husband Scott Borgerson.
She recently sparked controversy by exclusively telling The Sun she has “no memory” of her pal Prince Andrew and his sex accuser Virginia Giuffre ever spending time together.
The ex-socialite sensationally claimed the infamous snap of the Duke of York with his arm around a 17-year-old Virginia — in which she is seen smiling in the background — is a fake.
Maxwell has complained about prison life since being locked up and claimed a fellow inmate plotted to murder her as she slept in her bed.
Other grumbles about her jail ordeal include maggoty food, a rat-infested cell, sleep deprivation and hunger.
She also alleged that “creepy” guards watch her while she uses the bathroom – and that a “friendly” rat visits her on the toilet.
