INMATES at Ghislaine Maxwell’s prison are reportedly set to “beat the s**t out of her” when she’s put behind bars.
The twisted 60-year-old lured vulnerable teenagers for vile multi-millionaire Epstein to abuse at his various luxurious properties – with the pair described as “partners in crime”.

Maxwell showed no emotion when she was jailed for 20 years earlier this week after apologising to her victims.
She is expected to be jailed at the minimum-security federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut that served as the inspiration for Orange is the New Black.
The lock up will serve as some respite after the socialite spent 22 months holed up in the notorious Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn – considered one of America’s toughest jails.
The plush jail would give Maxwell more freedoms with features such as a running track, library and even a gardening course.

But Jacqueline Polverari, who served less than a year in Danbury for mortgage fraud, warned inmates are already preparing for the arrival of the new famous convict.
She said the prison will “not be a picnic” for Maxwell with maggot-ridden food and toilet cleaning duties as well as the mounting fears for her safety.
Polveari told the New York Post: “She will have a rough six to eight months. I’ve already gotten emails from women who wrote to say that they hear Maxwell will be coming this way.
“They’re preparing for her arrival, already requesting that they don’t want her in their dorms.

“And the camp counsellor won’t put Maxwell where she is not wanted, for fear that she may get hurt.”
Polveari also warned: “Women are worse than men about sex crimes. You have mothers there.
“They see a white woman charged with a sex crime and they think any one of their children could have been her victim.
“She would get a lot of flak. She would get the s**t beaten out of her a bunch of times.”
The prison – which holds 1,049 male and female inmates – has a number of cushy programmes on offer for inmates, including vocational training in culinary arts and horticulture and apprenticeships in baking, carpentry, animal training and painting.
According to experts, Epstein’s ex-lover will feel like she is in “Disneyland” if she is locked up at a federal jail.
In the lead up to her trial, Maxwell’s lawyers repeatedly – and unsuccessfully – tried to persuade the judge to release her on bail, complaining she was enduring a “living hell”.
She sensationally spoke out from her “wretched, dank” prison cell, claiming “creepy” guards watched her as she used the bathroom.
Her lawyers even argued her jail conditions were fit only for fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter, saying her continued imprisonment was “untenable and unreasonable”.
Handing down Maxwell’s sentence on Tuesday, Judge Nathan said her victims were forced to live through the “painful, horrific and lasting impact of that trauma”.
She continued: “The damage done to these girls was incalculable.
“Those who engage in and facilitate sexual abuse will be held accountable by the law. Whether you are rich or powerful, nobody is above the law.”
Wearing a prison-issued uniform, Maxwell apologised to her victims, saying she hopes her sentencing will allow them “peace and finality”.
She told the court meeting Epstein was her “greatest regret”.
Maxwell said: “It is hard for me to address the court after listening to the pain and anguish expressed in the statements made here today.
“I believe that Jeffrey Epstein was a manipulative, cunning and controlling man who lived a profoundly compartmentalised life and fooled all of those in his orbit.”

Judge Nathan also imposed a $750,000 (£615k) fine on the heiress and said her sentence would be followed by five years of supervised release.
Maxwell is likely to request a transfer to the UK after serving three years of her sentence.
