Thursday 30 June 2022 10:18 AM Inmates at Ghislaine Maxwell prison are 'preparing for her arrival' warns ... trends now
Ghislaine Maxwell has been warned she faces 'getting the s*** beaten out of her' in Danbury prison where she is expected to serve her 20-year sentence.
The socialite's attorneys have requested she serves her sex trafficking term at the minimum-security federal prison in Connecticut that served as the inspiration for Orange is the New Black and previously held Lauryn Hill and Teresa Giudice.
The facility, which houses men's and women's prisons, is known as 'Club Fed' for its cushy programs for inmates, including a 'wide variety of hobby craft and music' as well as circuit training, aerobics and over 50 fitness classes.
But the 60-year-old's hopes of a smoother ride after a horrific two years in her Brooklyn detention center have been derailed by Jacqueline Polverari, who served less than a year in Danbury for mortgage fraud.
She warned inmates are already preparing for the arrival of the new famous convict and the prison will 'not be a picnic' for her, with maggot-ridden food and toilet cleaning duties on top of the fears for her safety.
It also comes after experts warned that Maxwell faces constant surveillance being a high-profile sex criminal, after she reported threats to her life in Brooklyn.
Polveari told the New York Post: 'She will have a rough six to eight months. I've already gotten emails from women who wrote to say that they hear Maxwell will be coming this way.'

'They're preparing for her arrival, already requesting that they don't want her in their dorms. And the camp counselor won't put Maxwell where she is not wanted, for fear that she may get hurt.'
Maxwell, who is likely to request a transfer to the UK after serving three years of her sentence, gained notoriety for conspiring with pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein to abuse young women and girls.
Polveari warned: 'Women are worse than men about [prisoners convicted of] sex crimes. You have mothers there. They see a white woman charged with a sex crime and they think any one of their children could have been her victim. She [Maxwell] would get a lot of flak. She would get the s*** beaten out of her a bunch of times.'
Polveari began her sentence on the same day as Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice, who was jailed for fraud charges in 2015.

The reality star hired a consultant to help set her up with people inside the jail and she had a mentor waiting for her when she arrived.
Maxwell's cell will be an 8ft by 8ft cubicle with a bunk bed and two lockers, with 30 cubicles in each dorm.
Polveari said there were often maggots in the oatmeal and Maxwell could be assigned janitorial work, meaning she has to clean toilets in the morning until lunch.
The convicted sex trafficker, who is vegan, previously complained about the 'inedible' food at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, but now she may have to eat the same food as every other inmate.
Maxwell filed more than 100 complaints during her 22-month stay in Brooklyn.
Her legal team claimed a fellow prisoner was offered money to strangle her in her sleep and there were also fears she could be shot dead by a sniper.
On top of the potential violence from other inmates, she was also placed on suicide watch out of concerns she would follow her former lover Jeffrey Epstein in killing herself in prison.
The prison has held previous inmates including singer Lauryn Hill, reality TV star Teresa Giudice, and Piper Kerman, author of Orange is the New Black
