The judge would be stupid to impose a sentence lighter than what the federal prosecutor is recommending.

That's not how it works usually. But still Brock Turner only got six months in jail for rape when the state prosecutor recommended six years so anything could happen.

+1 And even if she has a sentence of 4 months, she may end up serving only 4 weeks or even 4 days with "time off for good behavior." Prisons are overcrowded and they release people quickly if they're non-violent.

I thought for Federal sentences you can only get off for good behavior if your sentence is 1 or more years? This link isn’t exhaustive but it keeps referencing 1 or more years. https://famm.org/wp-content/uploads/faq-federal-good-time-credit.pdf

Also, she’s not going to be housed with violent offenders. She’ll be at a “camp”. The choice between her and someone else getting out will be based on their similar crimes. It’s not Felicity or a murderer.

Remember Paris Hilton's hour in jail and the media circus?

I read that Huffman may not even get jail, but could just serve time in halfway house. Also, by degrees her $15k was a tiny amount compared to most and she displayed incredible remorse and admitter her guilt. Loughlin is going to get hit big time.

DP. What did Paris Hilton do to get jail time again? I've completely forgotten. And wasn't she in there longer than an hour? I thought it was a least a few days. I just remember when she was released, I was astounded by how pretty she looked - no makeup at all.

I agree about Huffman - her $15k is practically nothing compared to Loughlin and others. Of course, she should never have done it, but she did admit guilt and remorse right away, so that's definitely in her favor.

Her initial charge was for a DUI. I believe she ended up having to serve time because she wasn’t complying with the terms of her probation. She was initially in for a day and her family pulled strings with the sheriff to release her. That didn’t sit well with the prosecutor and judge who then sent her back. I think she served half of her 45 day sentence.

+1 Was just going to post this. The examples (except Martha Stewart) that keep getting thrown around are not relevant as they are all state prosecutions.

I don't know that Martha Stewart ever went into great detail about her 4 month stay in jail but from what she has said it sounded like a pretty traumatic experience for her. I don't think Huffman is looking at spending 4 months in some kind of adult summer camp. She's going to serve time. Loughlin could quite literally spend the rest of her life behind bars. They are in some serious sh*t.

No one is claiming that it’s “an adult summer camp” but the minimum security “camp” that these people will go to is nowhere near as restrictive or horrible as medium and high security prisons. Inmates live in dormitories. There are no cells. They have freedom to move about the grounds. And yes, there are absolutely classes. However, none of that makes up for the fact that the government now controls your life.

This lady’s blog gives pretty good description of what life is like. It’s not sunshine and roses but to have serve time for a felony, this is the type of institution you want to be in. https://prisonprofessors.com/club-fed-minimum-security-federal-prisons-really-feel-easy/ Teresa Guidice has also been pretty open about her incarceration. And she’s spoken multiple times about her new love for yoga came from the classes she took in prison.

I watched the Today Show interview where Martha claimed her time was so horrifying and that nothing came from it. It’s not surprising that she didn’t learn any lessons about her behavior since she has never been contrite and still wants to pretend did nothing wrong. Her privileged attitude clouds the reality of her situation. That Martha Stewart sent Christmas cards from prison speaks volumes to the environment she was in and the freedom she was allowed while institutionalized.

This is fine. She's getting her jail time in and a record. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/13/us/felicity-huffman-guilty-college-admissions-scandal.html

Good finally setting an example and proving our legal system does in fact work despite who you are. I am practically rubbing my hands together in anticipation of what will happen to Lori Laughing and her scummy husband. They are so arrogant, thinking they are above the law. I do have respect for Felicity coming forward and owning her wrong doing, and happy she is OK to set an example for her poor judgement.

Don’t get too giddy yet.
That was the prosecutor’s recommendation. The judge will
Decide in September.

Kid needs to be kicked out and banned.

Most of the schools have stated the kids are going through individual hearing processes on their eligibility.

I doubt they’ll be able to stay. As for jail mom - enjoy!

Her daughter is a senior in high school.

And it looks as though she won't be going to college.

Right! I'm not willing to go to jail. That's just crazy talk. This isn't a new age spa treatment to "experience".

I agree. I think she should serve some time for what she did.

Loughlin must be shaking in her boots right about now.

+ 1 seriously shaking, as she should be

Doubtful. Laughlin beloved she did not commit a crime and that is why she wants to go to trial. That Felicity will be sentenced isn’t a surprise. The Feds have been clear all along that even if the parents plead guilty they are still going to jail. It’s jist that the recommended sent nice will be less. So what is happening to Felicity won’t change anything since Laughlin thinks she is innocent and is already aware that jail would be required.
