Socialite Ghislaine Maxwell photographed jogging inside prison
Ghislaine Maxwell, a socialite, has been seen running in prison in Florida.
At the federal jail where she is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, Maxwell, 62, was spotted on the track.
In 2021, Maxwell faced a notorious conviction for enlisting and preparing young women for sexual assault at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein.
Nineteen prisoners competed in a marathon event in the barbed-wire-enclosed Federal Correctional Institution of Tallahassee, covering 13.1 miles by running 52 laps around the prison’s track.
Her appeals attorney, Arthur Aidala, said the prison organized the marathon event, since “One of the warden’s jobs is to make it livable.”
Besides distance running, Aidala said, Maxwell is doing “yoga and Pilates” in jail as she prepares for her appeal on March 12.
“She looked great, she really did. Typically my clients who are incarcerated for an extended period gain a lot of weight … their diet in prison is primary carbohydrates.”
“Even as a visitor, going to prison is terrifying,” said Aidala, who recently met with Maxwell for six hours to discuss her appeal.

He said of the Florida facility, “It’s very different than going to Rikers Island or Brooklyn House of Detention … it’s isolated, there’s barbed wire everywhere you can see. It’s very quiet, and you know you’re not leaving.”
