'Guilty' Ghislaine Maxwell Enrages Victims Due to 'Unbelievable' Special Treatment
Ghislaine Maxwell enraged her victims - and even the other inmates - due to the special care she has been receiving since her sentencing.
Maxwell received 20 years in prison and five years of supervised release on June 28 after the court found her guilty of federal sex trafficking. She reportedly groomed young women who Jeffrey Epstein molested and abused.
The former socialite was also ordered to pay $750,000.
Despite her horrendous crimes, she got recommended to become part of the Female Integrated Treatment (FIT) program, which helps women overcome trauma. Unfortunately, the special treatment did not impress her victims and other inmates.
In a report shared by The Sun, one of her victims said that the special care makes her and everyone sick.
"I had to pay thousands of dollars to get therapy and Maxwell is getting it for free. What about the trauma her victims suffered?" the unnamed victim said.
Even inmates expressed their fury due to the unfairness of the justice system in the country.
Jacqueline Polverari, a previous inmate who spent jail time due to a fraud conviction, said that Maxwell's participation is a huge issue since FIT participants are sexual abuse victims. She said that having a sexual predator in the program would only worsen the PTSD they are trying to get rid of.
The authorities and Maxwell are yet to comment on the public's comment. But it was not the first issue she got connected to.
Ghislaine Maxwell Treated Like Hannibal Lecter in Jail
Last year, Maxwell expressed her heartbreak when she stayed at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center. At that time, she offered a lot of complaints throughout her stay.
According to her lawyers, the former socialite had been dealing with failing eyesight, weight loss, and hair loss. The representatives also listed the complaints and filed them with the court, including denied eye mask (to block sleep issues), denied access to the commissary, being awakened every 15 minutes because of flashlight checks, receiving moldy salad, being touched by correction officers, and deprived of a desk, among others.
Her brothers and sisters then petitioned the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, saying that her rights were being violated.
The government revealed in December that Maxwell had access to recreation. She also had eight hours a month of social calls.
As for the misconduct, the Bureau of Prisons said it took the allegations seriously but declined to reveal further details.
