Ghislaine Maxwell is living in constant fear of a brutal beatdown behind bars after she ratted out two violent Cuban inmates for trying to extort her, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
The pair were thrown in solitary confinement for 47 days after Maxwell reported them to authorities at FCI Tallahassee for demanding items from her commissary order.
But now she’s ‘freaking out’ because the two bullies have been released back into the general prison population and are out for revenge, according to sources at the low-security Florida lockup.
Maxwell, 61, is said to be so scared of retribution she’s refusing to use the shower stalls – a frequent setting for violent ambushes with razor blades or socks packed with bars of soap.
The diminutive sex trafficker is being escorted to and from her prison library job every day by a guard, while the Cubans – described as ‘tattooed, tall and thick’ – have been moved to a different unit.
But an insider told DailyMail.com: ‘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.’
Maxwell, serving a 20-year sentence for procuring girls for her late pedophile lover Jeffrey Epstein, fell out with the two Cubans after they criticized her for being aloof and snobbish.
Our source says the pair found out that strict vegan Maxwell had an ‘arrangement’ with a kitchen worker who would steal extra fruit, vegetables, and tofu for her.
The disgraced socialite would trade the fresh fare for items bought through the prison commissary store, which mainly offers snacks, candy and other junk food.
‘When the Cubans discovered what Max was doing, they demanded she spend her entire commissary limit of $360 on things for them otherwise they would report her,’ the insider explained.
‘They even wrote her a note which was a bad idea as Max took that to the Lieutenant’s office as evidence of blackmail.
