Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell is being “rewarded with better food and more time off work” after she “adopted her late father’s Jewish faith behind bars” with the help of Chabad-Lubavitch, The Sun reports.
From The Sun, “PRAYER PERKS Ghislaine Maxwell receives prison ‘benefits’ after adopting late father’s Jewish faith”:
GHISLAINE Maxwell has adopted her late father’s Jewish faith behind bars — and has been rewarded with better food and more time off work.
Maxwell — who helped financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse teen girls — registered her religion on arrival at jail.
She gets kosher food, which is costlier, access to a Rabbi and is excused work for 25 hours from sundown on Fridays to observe the Sabbath.
She can also take a break from prison chores on Jewish holidays.

Maxwell, 61, is also eligible for the associated wine or grape juice and breaking of bread.
The details were revealed by journalist Silja J.A. Talvi, who looks into conditions at jails.
Talvi told The Sun on Sunday Maxwell was contacted in jail by a civil rights prisoner organisation called Reaching Out, based in New York.
It specifically helps Jewish prisoners and informed Ghislaine through another inmate they would be there for her.
[…] A spokesman for Reaching Out said: “Maxwell is in touch with our organisation.
“We have and will continue to address her needs.”
According to Reaching Out’s website, they’re a part of Chabad-Lubavitch and they believe that imprisonment is not “a legitimate form of Jewish penalization” (i.e. Jews should be exempt from prison).
“Imprisonment was never accepted by Torah as a legitimate form of penalization,” Reaching Out says on their page titled, “Torah View on Jewish Prisoners.”
“The Lubavitcher Rebbe teaches that simply and clearly, there is no source in Torah for jail as punishment.”
Is this why Chabad-Lubavitch was the driving force behind Trump/Kushner’s “criminal justice reform” and lobbied for President Trump to pardon a host of Chabad-connected fraudsters?

When I was a kid, I remember wondering what "punished" meant.
I guess they didn't have lockups back in the day.
Retribution must have been a lot livelier once upon a time, for sure. I believe the Pharisees probably diced up the regulations finer than this.

I wonder if Chabad-Lubavitch will also be helping the victims of this convicted child-trafficker?

Punishment in those days was either expulsion from the tribe or stoning.

We do that all the time around here.
It is very dramatic.
