Ghislaine Maxwell: Please Let Me Take My Chances in General Population

Most famous people do not want to be in g-pop, where they're likely to be harassed, assaulted, or extorted. Most famous people would rather be segregated from the skels.

But Ghislaine Maxwell is asking to be put into general population.

She says her jailers are treating her so "onerously" that she would rather take her chances with the criminals.

Although she doesn't say this... maybe she fears assassination from the guards and other workers in the jail more than the inevitable attacks from fellow prisoners.

The lawyers representing Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite charged with recruiting teenage girls for financier Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse, wrote a motion to the federal judge assigned to the case requesting that she be released into the Metropolitan Detention Center's general population so she can "meaningfully participate in her own defense."

The letter, obtained by Fox News, claims that Maxwell has been "treated less favorably than a typical pretrial detainee," which they assume is the result of Jeffrey Epstein’s "apparent suicide attempt" in July 2019. The letter also claims that Maxwell has been "subject to suicide watch protocols" that include being "woken up every few hours during the night and being forced to wear special clothing."

The lawyers point out that their client has never been a risk for suicide but has been kept out of the general population for 36 days.

Maxwell has been in custody for over a month and has been "held under uniquely onerous conditions," the letter read.

Hillary Clinton's on-staff assassin could not be reached for comment.
