NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Jeffrey Epstein may soon count a Mexican drug kingpin as one of his besties.

The billionaire -- who was arrested for allegedly raping several underage females, as well as sex trafficking -- is only three doors down from Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, the New York Post reported Friday.

Epstein is in cell No. 4, while Guzman is in cell No. 4 of the 6-unit solitary-confinement unit, known as "10 South." 

"The place is so f–king disgusting," Chapo's lawyer, Jeffrey Lichtman, told the newspaper of the facility.

Lichtman explained, "In the winter, when it’s 30 degrees outside, you’re freezing your a– off because they’re blowing air conditioning on you. They don’t give you a toothbrush, you don’t get soap at the beginning."

He continued, "Until you’re up there and see it, you can’t believe you’re in America. If you don’t have human contact up there, you start losing your mind."

Epstein will be there until at least July 15, the date of his next hearing. Guzman, meanwhile, will be sentenced next week.
