Disgraced socialite Ghislaine Maxwell is to undergo a literacy test to determine whether she's capable of working in her Florida prison's call centre.
The 61-year old accomplice of dead billionaire Jeffrey Epstein is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking.
If she passes her exam she will earn 99 pence an hour for the privilege of selling cut-priced Internet, TV and phone packages for a telecommunications firm.

The company outsources work to inmates at the all-female FCI Tallahassee correctional institution and pays three-times the rate of her current position in the jail's library.
In order to pay off the £644,000 fine imposed by her trial's judge, however, she would have to work more than 650,000 hours – or the equivalent 27,000 days without any break.
A prison insider said: "Many of the girls work in the call centre. Customers would never know they are talking to a drug dealer, armed robber, killer or in Ghislaine’s case, a sex trafficker.
"The girls have been joking if she does move jobs, callers will think they’ve called Buckingham Palace with her posh accent.
"Being on the phones allows the girls contact with the outside world. Some find it a lifeline."
