Ghislaine Maxwell could spend her 20-year sentence in the low-security facility that was the inspiration for the women’s prison in Netflix’s “Orange is the New Black.”

US Circuit Judge Alison Nathan recommended that Maxwell serve her time in the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, a 1000-inmate facility about 55 miles from New York City. Maxwell’s lawyers requested she be sent to Danbury following her sentencing on Tuesday.
