The Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center doesn’t have the best reputation to say the least. Few prisons are suspected of being particularly pleasant locations, but this New York jail is considered particularly lousy. It is contaminated by vermin, it is said in numerous media reports, and mold can sometimes be found in the food. Ghislaine Maxwell has spent the past 17 months here. The trial of her begins this Monday in a Manhattan court.
