The pair reportedly spent many hours talking, laughing and joking at the low-security FCI Tallahassee.
Their similar ages – Maxwell is 60 and Novack, 65 – as well as their rich backgrounds and long sentences are said to have cemented their bond.
Maxwell was sent to prison late last month after being sentenced to 20 years for helping billionaire sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein molest underage girls.
Novack was jailed in 2012 after being convicted of orchestrating the beating deaths of her millionaire husband and mother-in-law.
Ghislaine Maxwell “is best friends with notorious double murderer Narcy Novack in a low-security Florida prison and spends hours talking, laughing and joking”
Narcy Novack, 65, of Fort Lauderdale, was sentenced to life in prison at FCI Tallahassee, a low-security prison in Florida.
“Once inside, Ghislaine is drawn to Narcy. Because of her long time inside and the brutality of her crime, she is being treated like a female don,” a source told the Mirror.
“Ghislaine will have little protection through their friendship, but given their ages and millionaire backgrounds, they were always destined to get along.
“Together they spend hours talking, laughing and joking.”
The Tallahassee prison is designated as a low-security prison, meaning inmates can take various classes and even complete jobs.
But it might sound more like a holiday camp with inmates encouraged to do gardening, baking, cooking and housekeeping, yoga, pilates, weights, softball and frisbee.

Maxwell has to wear khakis at FCI Tallahassee and will be woken up at 5am. every day for breakfast at 6 a.m.
Maxwell, who once lived a lavish lifestyle and counted Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton among her friends, earns a pittance of between 15 and 27 cents an hour at FCI Tallahassee.
Prison counselors said Maxwell would clean toilets, bathrooms or wash dishes before being assigned a long-term job such as managing payroll or reading water meters.
Both Maxwell and Novack’s day starts at 5 a.m. when the lights come on. Breakfast is served at 6 am. and lunch at 10:30 am. – the early hour is so that the kitchen can feed the entire population.
Maxwell was convicted after a nearly month-long trial last December, in which her victims testified that she lured them to Epstein when she was just 14 years old.
Ultimately, after five days of deliberations, the jury found her guilty of five of the six charges against her – including one of enticing underage girls to engage in sexual acts with Epstein.
Judge Alison Nathan imposed the 240-month sentence followed by five years of supervised release on June 28
During sentencing, Maxwell said she wanted to “acknowledge” her victims’ pain but was not apologizing.
On June 28, Judge Alison Nathan imposed the 240-month sentence, followed by five years of supervised release, after calling Maxwell’s crimes “despicable and offensive.”
He also imposed a $750,000 fine, noting that Maxwell had received a $10 million bequest from Epstein after his death.
‘Lady. Maxwell worked with Epstein to select young victims who were vulnerable and played a key role in facilitating the sexual abuse,” Judge Nathan said, making it clear the case required a “very significant sentence” that sent an “unmistakable message” that such crimes I will be punished.
Before her sentencing, Maxwell made a public statement expressing remorse for her actions.
“I realize that I have been convicted of helping Jeffrey Epstein commit these crimes,” he said. “My relationship with Epstein will stain me forever. It is the greatest regret of my life that I ever met him.’
She added that Epstein “fooled everyone in his orbit” and claimed she was his victim.

She had also written in a pre-sentence note that a troubled childhood left her vulnerable to committing such heinous acts after her father’s mysterious death in 1991.
Over the course of three weeks, the jury heard how Maxwell “serviced” underage girls for Epstein and enjoyed her role as “Mistress of the House” at his Palm Beach, Florida, mansion.
Between 1994 and 2004, lawyers argued that Maxwell was Epstein’s “right-hand man” and paid $200 for sexual massages or even participated in the abuse.
The victims, some as young as 14, were paid a similar amount if they brought friends to Epstein, the jury said.
During the trial, prosecutors called 24 witnesses to give jurors a picture of life inside Epstein’s homes – a subject of public fascination and speculation since he was arrested in Florida in 2006 on child sex charges.

Her new friend, Narci Novak, was convicted of hiring hit men in the 2009 deaths of Ben Novak Jr. in New York and Bernice Novak in Florida. Veliz, from Brooklyn.
Ben Novack, 53, was the son of the man who built the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach, a celebrity hangout in the 1950s and 1960s that featured in the films Scarface and Goldfinger.
He was beaten to death with dumbbells in July 2009 in his bed at a hotel in Rye Brook, New York, where his travel company was managing an Amway convention.
‘Cruel and sadistic’ Narci Novak who offered killers a pillow to muffle the screams of her hotel tycoon husband has been jailed for life for plotting his and his mother’s deaths
A thug who admitted to the killing testified that Novak ordered her husband’s eyes cut out with a knife and offered a pillow to muffle his screams.
Three months earlier, Novak’s 86-year-old mother, Bernice, was killed in Fort Lauderdale by hitting her teeth and head with a plumber’s wrench.
The murders “involved a particularly cruel, sadistic and wanton ferocity rarely seen in the annals of crime,” prosecutors said when they asked for a life sentence.
They said Narci Novak feared her husband would divorce her and that a prenuptial agreement would bar her from the family’s multimillion-dollar fortune. They said her motives were “hate, greed and revenge”.
The judge said he could find no mitigating factors in Novack’s life.
“There is nothing to explain what he did,” he said. “He lived a life of privilege.”
