Recently, actress Felicity Huffman was sentenced to 14 days in prison for her role in a massive college admissions scam. Huffman, who was accused of spending $15,000 to have the scam's mastermind boost her daughter's SAT scores had pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud. She is not spending her time in a hard core prison like Alcatraz nor breaking rocks on a chain gang in Georgia. She will probably be incarcerated in a local prison. And boy is she in for a rough time!
Your intrepid blogger has found a copy of the Federal Correctional Institution, Dublin, California Admission and Orientation handbook. From this 73 page manual I present some of the restrictions that will be place upon Huffman’s daily life. Read further, only if you have a strong constitution.
Some of the rules and regulations include:
Baggy pants and excessively large shirts are not acceptable. Khaki shirts worn underneath sweat shirts must be tucked in at all times.
Khaki shorts may be worn after 2:30 p.m. and on weekends
Hand holding or other physical contact between inmates is not allowed.
Clothing items may not be black or navy blue.
Inmates may have one completed hobby craft item in their room and one project in progress.
Inmates may shop in the commissary Monday-Wednesday during the lunch hour, 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Inmates may shop only ONCE a week.
Beds must be made and the room inspection ready by 6:30 a.m. each workday. Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays, the beds will be made prior to 10:00 a.m.
Removal of food from the dining room is not permitted, with the exception of one piece of fruit.
Lobby televisions may be viewed on the weekdays after 4:30 a.m. and until 8:45 p.m.
When moving to and from showers, robes with undergarments must be worn. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Inmates are not allowed to feed the wild life; animals or birds.
Caps are to be worn appropriately. Caps will not be worn to the side, backwards or inside any building.
Sun bathing for FCI inmates will only be allowed on the sun decks. This will occur during weekend and holiday hours only. Sun decks will be open after 4:00 p.m. on Friday until Sunday at 8:30 p.m. Personal towels will be permitted on the sun decks. No sheets, pillows or blankets are allowed on the sun deck. Proper attire for sun bathing consists of a shirt and shorts, which must be worn properly.
I don’t know about you, but I find the conditions are a little harsh and don’t know if Huffman will be able to cope. No black or blue jeans, only shopping once a week and able to sunbathe only on weekends! This is cruel and unusual punishment in my opinion. She will probably cave under all of the restrictions, but if she can cope, you can be assured that she will integrate back into society completely rehabilitated and a far better person, after her two week incarceration!
Nobody said that life in the Big House was going to be easy!
