- Ghislaine Maxwell reported Brooklyn jail staff threatened her safety, prompting employees to place her on suicide watch, prosecutors said on Sunday
- Maxwell, 60, is scheduled to be sentenced on Tuesday for her December conviction for helping her then-boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein
- Prosecutors say she deserves between 30 and 55 years in prison
- In court filings on Saturday, Maxwell’s lawyers said she was placed on suicide watch and asked for a delay to her sentencing
- On Sunday, prosecutors argued no delay was needed because Maxwell had her legal documents and could get the same amount of sleep
- Maxwell refused to elaborate about why she feared for her safety, prosecutors said. She told psychology staff she was not suicidal
