Ghislaine Maxwell has claimed a woman plotted to kill her behind bars as she serves a 20-year sentence for committing sex crimes against children alongside peadophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The convicted human trafficker, 60, is currently living at the Tallahassee Federal Correctional Institution in Florida and is appealing the sentence she was handed in June.
She recently gave her first interview from prison and explained that she is finally in a facility where she feels safe after claiming that her life was targeted by another inmate.
As reported by the MailOnline, the alleged crime was supposedly planned to take place at the Metropolitan Detention Centre (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York, where she had been incarcerated.
The disgraced socialite claims that she was targeted after a bounty was placed on her head and the other inmate had planned to kill her as she slept.
Maxwell, who is kept behind bars for 23 hours a day, said: "It's still jail. It's very far from a cushy country club, as I have seen it reported. You're locked up the entire time.
"When they do let you out for an hour there's not a chair for everybody in the communal space and no way to watch TV."
Describing what her days consist of now, the woman who once lived a life of luxury and counted the likes of Prince Andrew as a 'dear friend', said: "They wake you up at six, then at 6.20, something like that, they’ll call for what they call 'mainline', which is interesting because I would think that if you're a drug addict that’s like the trigger word.
"That's a meal and consists of milk, a cereal.
"So nothing happens then until around 10.30, when they call mainline again, when you go to what they call lunch.
"And then nothing happens again until you'll have a count, so you have to stand up at 4pm and they count you.
"And after that you get what’s called the main evening meal, which you get approximately 20 minutes to eat. The lights go out at around ten."
Maxwell also revealed as part of her interview that she feels sorry for Prince Andrew now that he has been forced to step back from his royal duties.
She also claimed that the now infamous picture of him and Virginia Roberts, who he is alleged to have slept with when she was underage, is fake.
"At this time, I no longer believe that to be a true image, and I don’t believe that it is what it appears to be," Maxwell said of the image from 2001.
"There are so many things that are wrong with it," she added. "As soon as my appeal is over, I will be very happy to discuss it with you."
