Ghislaine Maxwell's Prison: Alarming Conditions and Inmates' Desperate Measures

Government inspectors discovered "alarming" conditions at the Florida prison housing Ghislaine Maxwell, including moldy bread, rotting food, rodents, and leaks. The Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General found several serious operational deficiencies at FCI Tallahassee, where Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. Inmates were served moldy bread, and rotting vegetables were found in the food preparation area. The prison's food storage warehouses had infestations of insects, evidence of rodent droppings, and chewed-through food containers. Additionally, female inmates experienced frequent water leaks in their housing units, which were patched up with feminine hygiene products. The Federal Bureau of Prisons has stated that they will evaluate and implement necessary corrective actions.
