Sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell is hosting etiquette classes for inmates at her Florida prison as she tries to reinvent herself as a female role model, can exclusively reveal.
The disgraced socialite, 52, is serving a 20-year sentence for procuring girls for humiliation and abuse for her late pedophile lover Jeffrey Epstein.
But that hasn’t stopped Maxwell from preaching about women’s empowerment and the need to “uphold high moral standards” in the twice-weekly sessions for up to 40 Contras.
“Taught by Mrs. Maxwell, this course teaches the three principles of etiquette—with a focus on respect, consideration, and honesty,” reads a flyer posted at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, Florida.
Low-security prison sources say the four-week program covers everything from good manners to conversation, dress and demeanor at a job interview.

Maxwell had friends in high places and brings her celebrity lifestyle to prison. She is pictured in green with Epstein, Prince Andrew and the Countess of Derby at the Tony Royal Ascot horse race in 2000
Oxford-educated Maxwell also speaks of emulating powerful women figures, citing her former friend Hillary Clinton’s presidential candidacy as an example of how women can “smash the glass ceiling.”
The course is also part of the First Step Act, which means inmates, including drug dealers, white-collar criminals and convicted murderers, can have their sentences reduced by up to 15 days by attending.
It’s so popular that the infamous madam offers courses in English and Spanish, with the help of a Colombian inmate who acts as a translator for the prison’s sizeable Hispanic population.

“It’s less about balancing books on your head and being ladylike and more about having confidence — how to act and talk professionally, the secrets of success in the corporate world, things like that,” teased an insider.
“Miss Maxwell’s message is that if you’re a woman and a convicted felon, you’re not a second-class citizen. She’s an unlikely role model, but she’s very passionate about it.’
Maxwell’s course ran from Dec. 5-30 and a second round of classes has been approved by prison authorities to begin soon, our source added.
Meanwhile, Maxwell — inmate 02879-509 but nicknamed Max by incarcerated buddies — also teaches a yoga class, works in the prison library and helps the 755-strong female population choose books and magazines.
She has daily access to an enviable array of sporting facilities, including the 400m track, where photographed the carefree dizzy jog for an hour in November.

Maxwell, the daughter of disgraced British newspaper magnate Robert Maxwell, was convicted in December 2021 of five counts of caring for a minor for longtime confidante Epstein, who hanged himself in 2019.
After two years in the fortress-like Metropolitan Detention Center in New York, where she complained of maggot-infested meals and inhumane treatment, Maxwell was to serve her time at Federal Correctional Institute (FCI) Danbury — the Connecticut prison that inspired Orange is the New Black .
But without any explanation, she was instead shipped 1,000 miles south to the Sunshine State in late July, where the distorted Epstein abused many of his victims at his Palm Beach mansion.
FCI Tallahassee — Maxwell’s prospective home until at least July 17, 2037 — is surrounded by a maze of 30-foot fences and cameras, but behind the jagged rolls of barbed wire the sleek red-brick building looks more like a high school or college campus.
Before her arrest in 2019, disgraced Britain’s Prince Andrew and former President Bill Clinton were among jet set Maxwell’s long list of high society friends.
Behind bars, she hangs out with con artist Linda Morrow, who, as a cosmetic surgeon, helped her husband save insurers $44 million by pretending that cosmetic procedures like tummy tucks, breast augmentations and “vaginal rejuvenations” are medical necessities.

Morrow fled to Israel but was deported to the United States in 2019 and jailed for more than eight years in July when a judge said the “greed of the 70-year-old Coachella Valley native” knew no bounds.
Another sidekick is Narcy Novack, a 65-year-old Florida woman who is serving life without parole for hiring hitmen to murder her hotelier husband, Ben Novak Jr., and his elderly mother, Bernice, to steal their family property.
Bernice was beaten to death with a plumber’s wrench at her Fort Lauderdale home in April 2009. Three months later, Novak, a former stripper, let the assassins into her husband’s New York hotel suite, where they slit open his eyes and beat him to death with dumbbells.
Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking minors, transporting a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and triple conspiracy after a federal trial in New York learned she had lured girls as young as 14 into Epstein’s clutches.
The disgraced Brit expressed her regret at being handed a 240-month sentence, telling her victims: “I hope my conviction and harsh imprisonment bring you closure.”
However, Maxwell has since appealed her conviction and sentence, as her rep recently told : “Her spirits are holding up well, as you might expect from an innocent woman.”
