Watch as Ghislaine Maxwell paces in cell and scoffs prison food in grim jailhouse CCTV footage released in Epstein files

NEWLY released footage showing a grim insight into disgraced Ghislaine Maxwell’s life in prison has been released in the latest Epstein files.

The never-before-seen CCTV clip shows the onetime socialite, 64, pacing up and down her jail cell and scoffing what appears to be a burger.

Sporting an orange jumpsuit and surrounded by white walls, Maxwell can be seen curled up on her mattress repeatedly pressing her hands into her head.

The chilling footage was released by the Department of Justice last Friday, among a massive new tranche of files related to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year-sentance at a Federal medium-security in Texas.

She was arrested in July 2020 on six federal charges, including sexual exploitation of minors, transportation of minors across state lines for sex and perjury.

The clip was filmed inside the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, in July of 2020, when Maxwell was awaiting bail.

On July 14, she pleaded not guilty to all charges and was denied bail. At the time, she was facing up to 35 years in prison.

Months later, on December 28, a judge turned down a $28.5million bail package because she posed a flight risk.

Her lawyers claimed guards were conducting invasive searches of her cell every 15 minutes to make sure she was still alive.

She was found guilty on December 29, 2021 and hauled into Florida’s Tallahassee Federal Correctional Institution.

In August last year she was moved again into a low security prison camp 100 miles outside Houston, Texas.

It comes as…

The move came after Maxwell spoke to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche about more than 100 men connected to Epstein, including Prince Andrew, but was condemned by her victims.

She is expected to sit for a congressional deposition on February 9, on request of Republican House Oversight Chairman James Comer.

During a hearing on January 21, Comer said: “I agree that we need to hear from Ghislaine Maxwell.

“Our lawyers have been saying that she’s going to plead the fifth, but we have nailed down a date, February 9, where Ghislaine Maxwell will be deposed by this committee.”

The same hearing announced former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton could be held in contempt.

Former Democrat powerhouses Bill, 79, and Hillary, 78, came under fire for refusing to testify in the House Oversight Committee’s probe into Epstein.

The pair have since u-turned and agreed to testify.

Neither Bill nor Hillary Clinton has been accused of wrongdoing, and Hillary’s name has not appeared in any of the Epstein files released so far by the Department of Justice.

Maxwell has appealed her case numerous times and lost. In October, the US Supreme Court said it would not hear an appeal from her.

It comes as the Justice Department released a massive new batch of Epstein-related material, exposing his ties to major figures across the world.

This was both before and after the late financier pleaded guilty in 2008 to prostitution charges, including soliciting an underage girl.

A number of well-known names like Richard Branson, Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor are mentioned multiple times in the files.
