Convicted sex trafficker Glislaine Maxwell was ‘driven mad’ by transgender prisoners having loud sex in front of her despite being behind bars for serving up underage girls to Jeffrey Epstein, sources told DailyMail.
Maxwell, 63, who was in Tallahassee Federal prison before being transferred to a low security prison in Texas on Thursday, was in an ‘open unit’ where bunk beds were in sections of four separated by a small pony wall inside a larger ‘dorm-style’ room.
A source said: ‘The trans prisoners would have loud sex, out in the open.
‘It drove Ghislaine mad. The grunting and noises kept her and other prisoners awake at night but the trans inmates didn’t care what time of day it was or who saw them. They would have sex whenever they could.’
Maxwell was moved to Tallahassee in the summer of 2022 after being sentenced to 20-years behind bars on sickening child sex trafficking crimes.
The former socialite once enjoyed a life of luxury before prosecutors snared her for coercing young girls into Epstein’s web, and even taking part in their sexual abuse herself.
But Maxwell was said to have struggled with witnessing explicit acts between her fellow inmates behind bars, and often bitterly complained about foul conditions in the prison.
The source said: ‘There was inadequate food. Ghislaine is a vegetarian and each prisoner is supposed to get 8oz of protein a day, but she was getting 2oz or less. The food was moldy. Everyone, not just Ghislaine, complained about the food.’
Prisoners had been able to supplement their food with supplies like Pot Noodles and chocolate from the prison commissary, but that has been closed for weeks because of lack of staff.
But the main reason Maxwell was moved was because Tallahassee could no longer keep her safe.

The Epstein acolyte was quietly moved to the minimum security Federal Prison Camp Bryan in southeast Texas on Thursday, where she will be housed alongside Theranos scammer Elizabeth Holmes and former Real Housewife of Salt Lake City Jen Shah
The Epstein acolyte was quietly moved to the minimum security Federal Prison Camp Bryan in southeast Texas on Thursday, where she will be housed alongside Theranos scammer Elizabeth Holmes and former Real Housewife of Salt Lake City Jen Shah.
She will now be able to purchase beauty and leisure items from the commissary, including make-up and crochet and sewing kits.
While the convicted sex offender felt ‘reasonably safe’ in her old Florida prison, guards and prison staff expressed concerns last week after she met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche who was acting on the instructions of President Trump.
‘If she had a target on her back before it has been ten time worse since last week. She has barely slept. She is constantly looking over her shoulder,’ the source said.
‘She has been in constant fear since the whole thing has blown up again.’
Conditions inside Tallahassee were ‘dire.’
Rat droppings and black mold were in the shower areas and leaks in the roof and windows were plugged using female sanitary hygiene products.
The air conditioning system has not worked for months.
The prison ran out of medication – including chemotherapy drugs – at the end of last year.
One prisoner who suffered a compound fracture of the arm did not receive medical treatment for 24 hours, according to a source.

The prison spent millions on buying machines for a new welding project – to teach prisoners how to weld – but had to scrap it when guards discovered the prison’s ancient electrical wiring could not support it.
Maxwell was not given paper to communicate with her lawyers last week ‘because they ran out of paper.’
‘Tallahassee was falling apart and is chronically understaffed. The prison governor knew they could not keep Ghislaine safe with the lack of staff,’ the source said.
‘The main reason she was moved was because they were terrified she would come to harm. When she was in communal areas like the food hall there were not enough staff to keep her safe.’
In 2023, she complained that she was living in fear at the Tallahassee facility after she ratted out two violent Cuban inmates for trying to extort her.
However conditions seemed to later improve for Maxwell, who spent her days in the Florida prison teaching Pilates and etiquette classes, and she also got a job in the prison library from where she filed hundreds of grievances about conditions in the prison, including her lack of access to hair dye.
Maxwell’s new prison is described as ‘modern and comfortable’.
There had been talks about moving her to a prison in Virginia but the Texas jail was decided upon because it offers the most modern facilities and ‘it is easier for them to keep her safe.’
Maxwell’s move comes after she met with officials from the White House in an apparent attempt to be pardoned for her sex trafficking crimes
As it emerged that Maxwell had been moved to a new prison this week, reports said that it was the 63-year-old that reached out to the Department of Justice to set up meetings.
She apparently requested what’s known as ‘proffer immunity’ so that anything she revealed couldn’t be used against her at a later date.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche interviewed Maxwell for several hours, as the White House grapples with the fallout of its bungled release of the so-called ‘Epstein Files.’
The meetings resulted in Maxwell being moved to the minimum security prison in Texas, which mostly holds white-collar criminals and, unlike the Tallahassee facility, is only for female criminals.
The transfer was handled by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, which was unusual, as transfers are usually led by the US Marshals Service.
The move comes as Maxwell’s lawyers are pushing for a pardon from Trump, who has not publicly ruled it out.
Maxwell’s lawyers said she would testify ‘openly and honestly’ to Congress in exchange for a pardon or immunity.
The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Maxwell last week, with a deposition date set for August 11.
But her lawyer David Oscar Markus said she would invoke her 5th Amendment right and decline to testify is her conditions, which include immunity, were not met.
‘Ms. Maxwell cannot risk further criminal exposure in a politically charged environment without formal immunity. Nor is a prison setting conducive to eliciting truthful and complete testimony,’ Markus said
On Monday, Trump was asked about a potential pardon and replied: ‘Well, I’m allowed to give her a pardon, but nobody’s approached me with it.’
