The way British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell is being treated in a New York jail is "degrading" and "amounts to torture", her brother has told the BBC.
Ian Maxwell said she was being held under constant surveillance in a 6x9ft (1.8x2.7m) cell with no natural light, and the food was "basically inedible".
Ms Maxwell is accused of helping the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein groom young girls, which she denies.
She is currently seeking bail, ahead of her trial which is due in July.
Prison officials have not commented on her conditions.

(415 posts)Yeah, its supposed to be. Maybe don't be the co-owner of an underage sex trafficking ring and you won't end up in a place like that.

(4,869 posts)- How many sexual acts do you have to perform for disgusting old men each week?
None you say? Then it's not enough torture.

(6,491 posts)They are probably keeping her from being Epsteined. You can't blame them.
What happened to those old-style criminals who went to jail, got their tattoos, and plotted their revenge while serving their time? I personally don't care if she is picking maggots out of her food. Eat around it, Honey. A little extra protein will be hard to come by.
She should stay in jail to keep her alive to stand trial. Or, she could make a deal by ratting on Trump. You know she knows something. I completely believe he raped that thirteen-year-old. Just my opinion.
