Ghislaine Maxwell is living in constant fear of a brutal beatdown behind bars after she ratted out two violent Cuban inmates for trying to extort her, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

The pair were thrown in solitary confinement for 47 days after Maxwell reported them to authorities at FCI Tallahassee for demanding items from her commissary order.

But now she’s ‘freaking out’ because the two bullies have been released back into the general prison population and are out for revenge, according to sources at the low-security Florida lockup.

Maxwell, 61, is said to be so scared of retribution she’s refusing to use the shower stalls – a frequent setting for violent ambushes with razor blades or socks packed with bars of soap.

According to insiders, Maxwell had already been on bad terms with the two women because they were put off by her aloof and snobbish demeanor 

The diminutive sex trafficker is being escorted to and from her prison library job every day by a guard, while the Cubans – described as ‘tattooed, tall and thick’ – have been moved to a different unit.

But an insider told DailyMail.com: ‘Las Cubanas have a reputation for being tough and mean inside jail and they don’t let anything slide. They are saying Maxwell needs to pay for the 47.

‘Snitches get stitches, as the saying goes. They will beat her up the first chance they get.’

Maxwell, serving a 20-year sentence for procuring girls for her late pedophile lover Jeffrey Epstein, fell out with the two Cubans after they criticized her for being aloof and snobbish.

The disgraced British socialite, 61 – pictured as part of a court filing while in custody before her trial – is so terrified of retribution she demanded a transfer, sources say 

Our source says the pair found out that strict vegan Maxwell had an ‘arrangement’ with a kitchen worker who would steal extra fruit, vegetables, and tofu for her.

The disgraced socialite would trade the fresh fare for items bought through the prison commissary store, which mainly offers snacks, candy and other junk food.

‘When the Cubans discovered what Max was doing, they demanded she spend her entire commissary limit of $360 on things for them otherwise they would report her,’ the insider explained.

‘They even wrote her a note which was a bad idea as Max took that to the Lieutenant’s office as evidence of blackmail.

‘They take that sort of thing very seriously as it’s considered to be threatening someone. 

‘The girls each spent 47 days in the SHU and they are super angry about it.’

The SHU – Special Housing Unit – is a ‘prison within a prison’ comprising tiny, grim cells where inmates are caged for 23 hours a day and fed through slits in the door.

Ironically, Maxwell spent 48 hours locked up there herself after she gave a jailhouse interview to British broadcaster Jeremy Kyle in January.

She was released after an internal investigation concluded that she had not profited from the tell-all chat, which was recorded via a prison video call.

Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence at FCI Tallahassee, reported the two women for allegedly trying to blackmail her, which resulted in authorities throwing the duo into solitary confinement for 47 days 

Maxwell apparently rubbed the women the wrong way after they discovered she was in cahoots with a kitchen worker who would steal extra fruit, vegetables, and tofu for her, which she would then trade for commissary store items 

FCI Tallahassee, where Maxwell is expected to serve her sentence until at least July 17, 2037, has a SHU – Special Housing Unit – a ‘prison within a prison’ comprising tiny, grim cells where inmates are caged for 23 hours a day and fed through slits in the door

The looming threat of a vindictive attack has left Maxwell too scared to use the shower stalls – a frequent setting for violent ambushes with razor blades or socks packed with bars of soap

The source added: ‘The first rule of life inside is you never snitch. If you have a problem, you handle it with the other inmate, one on one, usually by fighting.

‘So when the girls got out, Max was freaking out. She basically had a nervous breakdown over it. She even demanded a transfer.

‘Max was given the option of self-segregating by going into protective custody. It’s the same as the SHU, the only difference is that it’s voluntary, so she wouldn’t accept that.

‘One of the Cubans has a particular reputation for starting fights and intimidating other inmates. She gets out later this month so Max is praying the guards can keep her safe until then.’

Maxwell will be 75 by the time she’s freed unless she can overturn her convictions for helping warped financier Epstein groom and abuse women.

Her appeal is being steered by high-powered lawyer Arthur Aidala, who is also representing disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.

Aidala has argued that the British national was used as a ‘proxy’ to ‘satisfy public rage’ after Epstein hanged himself behind bars in 2019.

Maxwell – federal prisoner 02879-509 – used her January 23 interview with TalkTV’s Kyle to complain about her 6am starts and boring prison diet of tofu and beans.

She also sparked controversy by claiming without evidence that the now-notorious photograph of Prince Andrew with Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre was a fake.

Despite her complaints Maxwell has daily access to an enviable array of sporting facilities including the 400m running track where DailyMail.com snapped her last year going for an hour-long jog.

She’s also teaching an array of classes, including yoga, Pilates and etiquette lessons, for the jail’s 753 female inmates.

Prior to her 2019 arrest, jet-setting Maxwell’s long list of high society pals included Prince Andrew and former President Bill Clinton.

Behind bars she was hanging out with conwoman Linda Morrow, who helped her plastic surgeon husband bilk insurers out of $44 million by pretending cosmetic procedures such as tummy tucks, breast augmentations and ‘vaginal rejuvenations’ were medical necessities.

But Morrow, 70, has now been transferred to another prison in California. 

Another pal is Narcy Novack, a 65-year-old Florida woman serving life without parole for hiring hitmen to murder her hotelier husband Ben Novak Jr. and his elderly mother Bernice in a grab for their family estate.

Maxwell, daughter of disgraced UK newspaper magnate Robert Maxwell, was convicted in December 2021 of five counts of grooming minors for longtime confidante Epstein.

‘Miss Maxwell is not being punished in place of Epstein or as a proxy,’ Judge Alison Nathan said at her sentencing. ‘Miss Maxwell is being punished for the role that she played.’
