According to accounts, although they are both incarcerated in a Florida jail, Narcy Novack, a notorious double murderer, and Ghislaine Maxwell have become the closest of friends.
The two allegedly spoke, laughed, and joked around for many hours at the FCI Tallahassee’s low-security facility.
Their same ages—Maxwell is 60 and Novack is 65—as well as their affluent upbringings and lengthy sentences are claimed to have strengthened their relationship.
Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in jail and sent behind bars late last month for aiding billionaire sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein in abusing young girls.
After being found guilty of planning the beating murders of her mother-in-law and billionaire husband, Novack was sentenced to prison in 2012.
Upon entering, Ghislaine was drawn to Narcy. She is regarded like a female don because of how long she has been imprisoned and how horrific her crime was, a source told The Mirror.
Because of her companionship, Ghislaine will have some kind of security, but given their similar ages and affluent upbringings, they were meant to get along.
“They converse, laugh, and joke around together for hours.”
Due to the Tallahassee jail’s designation as a low-security facility, convicts are permitted to enrol in a variety of courses and even complete job placements.
However, it may often seem more like a summer camp where offenders are encouraged to participate in softball, frisbee, yoga, Pilates, baking, and cooking.
At FCI Tallahassee, Maxwell, who previously had an opulent lifestyle and counted Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton among her pals, is paid a pitiful 15 to 27 cents an hour.
According to prison advisors, Maxwell will do short-term tasks like handling payroll or monitoring water metres before being allocated a long-term task like cleaning toilets, baths, or dishes.
The day starts for Maxwell and Novack at five in the morning when the lights go on. Lunch is provided at 10.30am, while breakfast is given at 6am. These early times allow the kitchen to feed the whole population.
After a trial that lasted almost a month in December of last year, Maxwell was found guilty. Her victims testified that she had enticed them to Epstein when they were as young as 14 years old.
After five days of deliberations, the jury ultimately decided that she was guilty of five of the six counts brought against her, including one for enticing minors to perform sex acts with Epstein.
Maxwell said at the sentence that she wished to “acknowledge” the suffering of her victims but refrained from offering an apology.
On June 28, Judge Alison Nathan sentenced Maxwell to 240 months in prison followed by five years of post-release supervision, describing his acts as “heinous and prefatory.”
Additionally, she issued a $750,000 punishment while noting that Maxwell had received a $10 million bequest from Epstein upon his death.
Judge Nathan emphasised that the case required a “very large sentence” that communicated a “unmistakable message” that such crimes would be punished, saying that “Ms. Maxwell cooperated with Epstein to choose young victims who were vulnerable and played a crucial part in enabling sexual abuse.”
Maxwell expressed regret for her behaviour in a public speech before being sentenced.
I understand that I have been found guilty of aiding Jeffrey Epstein in committing these crimes, she said. “My relationship with Epstein will forever tarnish me.” The fact that I ever met him is the worst regret of my life.
She continued by saying that Epstein “fooled everyone in his sphere” and said that she was a victim of his.
Prior to the imprisonment, she had also claimed in a statement that her difficult upbringing had rendered her susceptible to doing such horrific deeds when her father inexplicably passed away in 1991.
Over the course of three weeks, the jury heard how Maxwell “served up” minors to Epstein at his Florida house and delighted in her position as the “Lady of the House.”
Lawyers said Maxwell was Epstein’s “right hand” between 1994 and 2004 and paid $200 for sexually explicit massages or possibly took part in the assault.
The jury was informed that the victims, some of whom were as young as 14, received a comparable sum of money if they brought acquaintances to Epstein.
Prosecutors summoned 24 witnesses throughout the trial to paint a picture for the jury of life inside Epstein’s houses, a topic of public curiosity and rumour ever since his arrest in Florida in 2006 in a child sex case.
Narcy Novack, her new friend, was found guilty of paying hit men to kill Ben Novack Jr. in New York and Bernice Novack in Florida in 2009. from Brooklyn, Veliz.
The Fontainebleau hotel on Miami Beach, which was a popular hangout for celebrities in the 1950s and 1960s and was featured in the films Scarface and Goldfinger, was developed by Ben Novack, 53, his father.
He was murdered in his hotel room in Rye Brook, New York, in July 2009, when his travel agency was in charge of organising an Amway conference.
According to a thug who acknowledged to carrying out the murder, Novack gave the order for her husband to have his eyes cut out with a knife and given him a pillow to mask his cries.
Bernice Novack, age 86, was fatally struck in the head and teeth with a plumber’s wrench in Fort Lauderdale three months before.
Prosecutors who requested life sentences said that the murders “included extremely harsh, sadistic and gratuitous barbarism rarely witnessed in the annals of crime.”
They said that Narcy Novack believed that if her husband left her, she would be denied access to the multimillion-dollar family wealth due to a prenuptial agreement. They said that she acted out of “hatred, greed, and revenge.”
The court ruled that Novack’s life had no mitigating circumstances.
Really, he replied, “there’s nothing to explain what she did.” She had a privileged existence, as they say.
