Jeffrey Epstein’s former lover and convicted sexual predator, Ghislaine Maxwell, is serving her 20-year sentence in a low-security Florida prison that has been subjecting inmates to sickening conditions, including moldy food, rodent infestations and escapes. , According to the government.
In a rebellion, 49 page report Regarding the living conditions at FCI Tallahassee by the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General (OIG), inspectors said the windows and ceilings of the five housing units at the federal lockup were so deteriorated that inmates were using feminine products. to cover the leaks.
Shocking photos from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons report also noted that the facility’s 294 male and 846 female inmates were served disgusting food, including moldy bread, a rotten cucumber, spoiled celery stalks, and deformed mayonnaise containers riddled with specks of mold.
Bags of cereal were infested with insects, according to another photograph, while containers of stored food were leaking and apparently left to rot, according to photos in the report previously reported on by the daily mail.
Other bags and boxes of dry goods appeared to be filled with vermin droppings and cobwebs, or torn open by rodents. Inmates must sit in front of a tray of disgusting food in the cafeteria, where a large number of plastic stools were cracked or completely broken, according to shocking photographs.
The OIG’s findings corroborate Maxwell’s complaints that food quality is poor. The 61-year-old has been dubbed the “Prison Karen” for her incessant complaining, which she shared in her first televised jailhouse in January.
Speaking to the British program TalkTV, Maxwell complained about his diet in prison and his 6 a.m. wake-up time, according to the Daily Mail.
OIG prison inspectors also reported how jail bosses failed to reduce the flow of contraband among inmates, who were found carrying cigarettes, vapes, opioids and even synthetic cannabis drugs known as K2 and Spice.
Inspectors noted that 38% of jobs at FCI Tallahassee’s health unit were vacant and that there were not enough security cameras or officers on site to defend against drug smuggling and use, or acts of violence. and self-harm.
OIG officials suggested that inmates who are permitted to leave the facility as part of the prison’s sanitation and landscaping team could have brought contraband, as they “are not routinely searched when they return to the institution.”
When these sanitation and landscaping workers are on duty, they are allowed to go to the outer perimeter of the prison grounds, according to the report, where there is “a single-skin fence, much of which is easily accessible to the public from a municipal park.” .”
And in the living areas, inspectors said they found “fire damage, a sink that fell out of the wall, and a black substance on the walls and ceilings,” although officials apparently could not identify this substance.
There were also signs of fire damage, showers flooded with discolored or leaking water, as well as “inoperable toilets…worn bedding, rusty inmate storage lockers, and unlocked supply closets.”
When The Post contacted the OIG for comment, a spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) responded, noting that inspectors did not make any specific recommendations on how to fix the series of problems at FCI Tallahassee.
“The FBOP will carefully evaluate and implement any necessary corrective actions to ensure that our mission of operating safe and humane facilities continues to be met,” the spokesperson added.
Maxwell has also reportedly made a fuss about the prison’s battered bedding and lack of timely access to medical care among the more than 400 complaints she filed against the two prisons she has been locked up in since she was arrested in July 2020, according to the Daily Mail.
Once a British socialite, Maxwell’s fall from grace ended in six charges related to her role in an abusive sexual regime with the late pedophile Epstein, who committed suicide while in prison awaiting trial in 2019, and a sentence of 20 years in prison.
She was first locked up in the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, where she was reportedly kept in the worst areas of the jail, where she complained about having to use a bathroom with an open drain and rats running around, eating rotten and rotten worms. she-infested food and not being able to shower in the facility because the guards were staring at her.
She was transferred to FCI Tallahassee in Florida’s capital in July 2022.
On its website, the prison boasts of offering a wide range of classes and activities to its inmates, including art, ceramics, yoga and musical instrument classes, as well as team sports such as softball, basketball and volleyball.
Representatives for FCI Tallahassee declined to comment.
