Ghislaine Maxwell has been dubbed a 'prion Karen' after making over 400 complaints about her life behind bars.
Maxwell, 61, is serving a 20-year sentence in FCI Tallahassee for trafficking young girls to her paedophile ex-boyfriend, billionaire Jeffrey Epstein.
Some of her complaints range from not having access to black hair dye, poor vegan options on the menu and allergy-triggering bedding.
Maxwell, the daughter of media mogul-turned-con artist Robert Maxwell, told officers she needed hypoallergenic pillows.
"Max is the prison Karen. She can file a grievance over anything – she has over 400 of them," a prison insider told the Mail.

"The latest battle is over hair dye. Maxwell hates her grey showing through and she's filed a grievance because they don't sell it anymore.
"When she did her video interview with British TV she paid another inmate $200 for the dye."
Maxwell was interviewed by Jeremy Kyle earlier this year (PA)'Karen' is a term used as slang for middle-class white women, which some view as sexist.
Others simply say the term is merely said in jest and used to poke fun at a person who gets angry for little reason.
Life in jail for the former socialite is a far cry from the life of luxury she used to live.
Maxwell took part in an interview with Jeremy Kyle on TalkTV earlier this year, where she said she wished she had "never met" Epstein.
Maxwell is said to have made over 400 complaints (PA)"Clearly my association and the fact that I worked for him and spent time with him and knew him has devastated my life and hurt many people that I’ve loved and hold dear around me," she said.
"I honestly wish I had never met him. I wish…I had stayed in England. I’d been a banker and so I should have moved on from him.
"I didn’t know that he was so awful. I mean, obviously now, looking back with hindsight, of course."

She also told Kyle it's a misconception that she's the "meanest, most poisonous person," saying she hopes the victims of her ex-boyfriend, Epstein, are able to have a "productive" life in the future.
Maxwell was first locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York in July 2020 while awaiting federal trial for grooming minors.
She was sentenced to two decades behind bars in June last year and the judge recommended that she serve her time at FCI Danbury, the Connecticut prison that inspired the Netflix series Orange Is the New Black.
But instead the federal Bureau of Prisons decided she should be shipped 1,000 miles south to Tallahassee prison.
