Ghislaine Maxwell is seen with a black eye and graying hair in first photo

Ghislaine Maxwell is seen with a black eye and graying hair in her first photo since her arrest last year.  

The British socialite’s lawyers included the photo in a court filing alerting the court to their ongoing concerns about Maxwell’s treatment behind bars in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, ABC News reports. 

Maxwell has been jailed in what she calls ‘hell hole’ conditions since July and on Tuesday lost her latest bail hearing in New York, which means she likely to remain in prison until her trial this summer.

The court considers Maxwell, who has American, British and French passports, a flight risk and she has been denied bail four times.

Maxwell is accused of recruiting underage girls who were abused by disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. 

Maxwell’s claims that she is being mistreated in custody were not enough to persuade a panel of three appeals court judges in New York to overturn the decision to deny her bail.

Maxwell’s lawyer said guards in her Brooklyn jail were keeping her awake at night to ensure she wouldn’t commit suicide like financier and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

But in a brief order, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said that to the extent Maxwell is being deprived of sleep, she should seek relief from U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan, who oversees her criminal case.

David Markus, Maxwell’s attorney, said he was ‘heartbroken’ by the ruling and the team are now ‘considering our options for next step.’

Maxwell, 59, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and other charges over her alleged role in procuring four teenage girls for Epstein to abuse between 1994 and 2004.

She had been appealing Nathan’s March 22 rejection of a $28.5 million bail package which the judge, who has denied bail three times, said did not keep Maxwell from being a ‘significant risk of flight.’
