EXCLUSIVE: ‘She’s the prison Karen!’ Ghislaine Maxwell files more than 400 complaints behind bars about canceled temple services, allergenic pillows, and no access to black HAIR DYE after she was unable to cover her gray
- Ghislaine Maxwell, 61, has filed more than 400 complaints over her conditions in prison since starting her 20-year sentence at FCI Tallahassee last July
- After whining about the food and ‘unfair treatment’, her latest grievance is over hair dye which has become unavailable in the prison, sources told DailyMail.com
- According to our insider, Maxwell’s goal is to cause such a stink that she ends up transferred to a new facility: ‘She has too many enemies and she wants out’
Ghislaine Maxwell has been branded the ultimate ‘prison Karen’ for filing more than 400 complaints about her life behind bars, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
Moaning Maxwell has slated the lackluster vegan menu options, whined about ‘unfair treatment’, and demanded that authorities at her federal prison in Florida give her immediate access to black hair dye.
The 61-year-old sex trafficker even bagged plush hypoallergenic bedding after grumbling to staff at FCI Tallahassee that the standard-issue prison pillows were triggering her allergies.
Maxwell’s gripes have targeted everyone from inmates and guards, to a ‘rude’ laundry lady at the low security lockup where she’s serving a 20-year stretch for helping Jeffrey Epstein abuse young girls.

‘Max is the prison Karen. She can file a grievance over anything – she has over 400 of them,’ dished our insider.
‘She complains about the food, the bedding, when they cancel temple because of bad weather or are late setting up her legal calls.
‘The latest battle is over hair dye. Maxwell hates her gray showing through and she’s filed a grievance because they don’t sell it anymore.
‘When she did her video interview with British TV she paid another inmate $200 for the dye.’
Maxwell’s whining dates back to July 2020 when she was first locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York while awaiting federal trial for grooming minors.
Her lawyers accused prison authorities of breaching her rights by shining a torch in her cell every 15 minutes, subjecting her to invasive searches and filming her at all hours.
The daughter of disgraced UK newspaper magnate Robert Maxwell was sentenced to two decades behind bars in June last year and the judge recommended that she serve her time at FCI Danbury, the Connecticut prison that inspired the Netflix series Orange Is the New Black.
But instead the federal Bureau of Prisons decided she should be shipped 1,000 miles south to the sun-drenched Tallahassee prison, which looks more akin to a high school or college campus.
Maxwell has managed to rub fellow inmates and even prison staff the wrong way since her arrival, due to her ‘entitled attitude’, sources told DailyMail.com
Early reports revealed how the disgraced British socialite struggled to cope with her new life behind bars, refusing to eat and complaining bitterly to prison authorities that her clothes didn’t fit
Maxwell appeared in her first televised jailhouse interview in January, speaking to TalkTV’s Jeremy Kyle to complain about her 6am starts and boring prison diet of tofu and beans

Once there, the prickly prisoner continued to rack up the complaints, taking advantage of her job in the jail law library to file BP-9 ‘administrative remedy’ forms at a rate of more than two a week.
‘When Max got to Tallahassee, she immediately wrote Brooklyn up for taking too long to ship her belongings,’ the insider explained.
‘Then when her shoes arrived, she refused to hand her temporary slip-ons back to the laundry lady.
‘That caused a big argument and Max complained that she felt threatened and refused to go back to the laundry unaccompanied.
‘That’s her in a nutshell. Every aspect of prison life offers an opportunity for her to play the victim. She creates constant drama for staff and inmates alike.’
Prison chiefs allegedly retaliated against Maxwell by canceling an array of weekly classes she was hosting for the all-female facility’s 750 inmates, including lessons in social media marketing and etiquette.
That prompted another grievance which has escalated to a BP-10, meaning a regional director will have to decide whether she’s been discriminated against because of her high-profile sex-offender status.
Maxwell’s end goal, according to the insider, is to cause such a stink that she’s transferred to a different facility, preferably Danbury.
‘Tallahassee is big, it’s old, it’s ghetto. Max has too many enemies and she wants out,’ explained our source.
Maxwell, inmate 02879-509, works six hours a day in the prison library to pass the time and likes to go jogging around the prison’s 400-meter running track
Maxwell was convicted on December 29, 2021 on five of the six counts she faced for helping the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse underage girls
‘Danbury is smaller and mainly for white-collar criminals and she thinks she can get there by causing as much hassle as possible.
‘Max even uses her position in the law library to coach other girls into making similar complaints. She acts like she’s a genuine attorney and fills the forms in for some of them.
‘Of course, she doesn’t care at all about the blowback the complaints will cause them. The end goal is mass lawsuits.’
Oxford-educated Maxwell has been at the center of countless controversies and bust-ups while behind bars and even managed to use the prison’s video visit system to give a headline-grabbing TV interview.
In January she told UK broadcaster Jeremy Kyle, without presenting any evidence, that the now-notorious photograph of Prince Andrew with Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre was a fake.
DailyMail.com revealed last month how the chat earned Maxwell 48 hours in the Special Housing Unit – a ‘prison within a prison’ comprising tiny, grim cells where inmates are caged for 23 hours at a time and fed through slits in the door.
In March it was the turn of two Cuban inmates who were both thrown into solitary confinement for 47 days after Maxwell reported them to authorities for trying to extort her.
Ghislaine Maxwell’s life in prison marks a spectacular downfall for the former London society girl who had later moved into the highest circles of New York’s social scene. She is pictured attending Royal Ascot with the Prince Andrw and Jeffrey Epstein in 2000

The two bullies found out their strict vegan neighbor had an ‘arrangement’ with a kitchen worker who would slip her extra fruit, vegetables and tofu and thought they could use the info against her.
They penned Maxwell a threatening letter demanding $360 worth of items from her commissary allowance but the Briton turned it straight over to prison authorities – breaching the strict mantra against snitching.
Maxwell was living in fear of a beatdown when the pair got out but one of the Cubans has since been transferred to a half-way house in Laredo, Texas, and the other was moved to a different housing unit.
Maxwell – federal prisoner 02879-509 – will be nearly 80 by the time she’s freed unless she can overturn her convictions for helping ex-lover Epstein.
Her appeal is being steered by high-powered lawyer Arthur Aidala, who is also representing disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.
Aidala has argued that Maxwell was used as a ‘proxy’ to ‘satisfy public rage’ after Epstein hanged himself behind bars in 2019 instead of facing trial.
But Judge Alison Nathan insisted at the socialite’s June 2022 sentencing: ‘Miss Maxwell is not being punished in place of Epstein or as a proxy. Miss Maxwell is being punished for the role that she played.’
