Ghislaine Maxwell objects to raw sewage and nosy guards in New York jail

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite fighting federal sex trafficking charges, remains subjected to raw sewage, water deprivation, "hyper-surveillance" by overbearing guards and other unacceptable treatment in jail, according to her lawyer.

Maxwell, 59, is preparing for a possible November trial on charges she procured four underage girls for the late financier Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse. Maxwell has pleaded not guilty and faces up to 80 years in prison if convicted.

In a Tuesday night filing, Maxwell's lawyer Bobbi Sternheim said Maxwell was forced to change cells at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn after raw sewage last week permeated her cell.

Sternheim also said guards are still able to read Maxwell's confidential legal papers and monitor her meetings with lawyers, and that neither Maxwell nor her lawyers were allowed water during a four-hour meeting on Sunday.

And they aren't giving people from the outside the opportunity to help her to kill herself.

I don't want to see anyone in prison be abused. I want them to be afforded the right to prosper along with a certain level of comfort. That includes Maxwell. But circumstances often require different treatment of an individual. Is what it is.

You're a criminal. Get over it. It won't get any better.

Screw you low life.
