“I do not possess a single suicidal bone in my body. I have never been suicidal. I’ve never contemplated it. I’ve never thought about it. It has never crossed my mind in my entire life. And I am very adamant on who I am and I’m very excited and look forward to my appeal.”
The 60-year-old claims she was solely placed on suicide watch as “punishment” for accusing the jail system of violating her rights:
“So the reason they put me on suicide watch was as a punishment – because I have filed a number of grievances and have made clear that [the authorities] broke the rules and harmed me physically and my ability to defend myself and many other things besides.”
She went on to explain the therapy that got here afterward as one thing that “strips you of any remaining shred of dignity that you have,” including:
“They have you with no clothes, and they put you in a suicide smock, which has Velcro straps on it. So there’s nothing to protect your modesty. And you were in a room of sub-zero temperatures, so you literally are freezing, with neon lights like you see on TV and in concentration camps. …”
While on suicide watch, Ghislaine stated inmates are denied entry to a bathe, and toothbrush, and solely given two sheets of bathroom paper each time she wanted the toilet:
“And you’re left in a room like that with no… there’s nothing to do. And I had two cameras on me all the time.”
That wasn’t the one half that bothered her at MDC. She additionally stated she was so hungry at occasions that she ate petroleum jelly:
“The food in Brooklyn was truly, truly terrible. One day I was so hungry that I ate the only thing I had – Vaseline.”
She continued:
“Jails are dangerous. And, actually, given what I have seen and witnessed in jail – guards selling drugs and being inappropriate in every way, I have seen all those things and therefore feel prisons are not safe spaces. Until you’ve been here, you really don’t understand how appalling it is. I would tell anybody to do everything possible to avoid coming to jail.”
However, since being transferred to Tallahassee Federal Correctional Institution in Florida on July 22, Ghislaine stated she now not feels “unsafe” on the new jail or “experienced any of the gross violations of my rights” as she did in MDC. She added:
“It’s still jail. It’s very far from a cushy country club, as I have seen it reported. You’re locked up the entire time. When they do let you out for an hour there’s not a chair for everybody in the communal space and no way to watch TV.”
Elsewhere within the interview, Ghislaine additionally spoke about Prince Andrew, who has been accused of sexually assaulting Virginia Giuffre on three events between 1999 and 2002, with the primary time allegedly being when she was solely 17 years outdated. While he constantly denied the allegations towards him, he was stripped of his army titles and later settled with Virginia outdoors of court docket in an effort to cease the case from going to trial. So when requested concerning the scenario, Ghislaine truly stated she “felt bad” for him:
“Yes, I follow what is happening to him. He is paying such a price for the association with Jeffrey Epstein. I care about him, and I feel so bad for him.”
Umm… Seriously? She went on to deal with the notorious {photograph} of Prince Andrew together with his arm round a then-17-year-old Virginia, claiming that it’s faux. What?! However, she refused to clarify to Dailymail.com why it’s:
“At this time, I no longer believe that to be a true image, and I don’t believe that it is what it appears to be. There are so many things that are wrong with it. As soon as my appeal is over, I will be very happy to discuss it with you.”
Hmm…
