I can see how bananas of a story this is (no pun intended) but if there’s one thing Cubans don’t mess around with it’s food. Throw in politics, and they’ll make your life hell.

Also, I am Cuban 😅🤣

I do feel for Ghislaine. She's always flown first class or private aviation and it has to be a shock to her system to downgrade to anything less. I'm surprised she hasn't gotten jail guards to personally sneak her whatever she wants instead of being humiliated by hanging around like a common deadbeat scrounging for her fruit. Sounds like this big mean Cubano story might be a precursor to hearing soon that she's being carried out in a very tightly zipped-up body bag.

Jessica... will there be a life behind bars item with Elizabeth Holmes teaching Chinese to her cellmates?

That thought crossed my mind too. Setting the stage for retaliation demise doesn't seem all that far fetched.

And YES. Holmes is going to educate them all LOL!

I live for everything you put out about her & Epstein. I was always interested in how she would use her "power" inside Prison. She's a smart women. Honestly, the thought that this could be setting the stage for when someone offs her isn't far fetched. Because a women like her is so smart, so much smarter than prison politics. It seems like a walk in the park compared to the politics she played with all the rich high ranking people in the entire world.

This reads like a scene from Wentworth. What are the chances there’s a character named Novak in that show? 😂

Novak, the ex stripper who hired a hitman to kill her husband and his mother. I read they removed his eyeballs 😩

Like others have said I could see this as a precursor to prison retaliation "gone wrong" and her ultimate demise. She has nothing to lose at this point - except being alive. I'm sure she's more aware of her mortality than she ever has been before. I'm sure she's on a few different lists of "loose ends" that need to be tied up 😬 Although she's an insanely intelligent woman, so I'm curious to see how all this pans out. I'm also curious if these people coming to the prison had anything to do with her getting more eyes on the place to make it more difficult for her to "accidentally" die.

All great questions.

I think her intellect is probably the only thing keeping her alive at this point. I suspect she has has some complicated deals worked out that keep her breathing but still fearful.

Interesting @slaonbella made a post about this and called out James Franco for sending Ghislaine money in prison up until last month. It so crazy to see how many people were connected to this.

I have also seen plenty of people in prison make money. Especially women that can manipulate.
