...the idiots in the news media keep saying she's going to prison for 2 weeks.
No, she's going to jail. Either county or city jail.
Nobody goes to prison for 2 weeks.
They report to the jail, they check in, and a few hours later they're released because they're a non-violent offender and the prison is too overcrowded to accommodate them.
Serious question. Is saying "no one" considered substandard?
shareShe's been sentenced on Federal charges, which means Federal prison, not city or county jail.
It's not impossible that they send her to FPC Alderson, where Martha Stewart was incarcerated.
I suspect they will send her somewhere minimum security (since she's not a serious criminal risk) and but remote enough to be "influential" and punitive. She won't be able to argue family hardship, since her family is wealthy enough that they could literally fly in on a private jet and stay nearby in the best local accommodations.
The bummer for Felicity is the punishment is less about her specifically, than about the broader public signaling that being rich and claiming ignorance about what most people would recognize is illegal or extremely unethical cheating behavior isn't good enough, and you can/will get punished, even if you are rich and famous.
Was this a jail or a prison?

Yes I know I was wrong. I can't be right all the time.
shareIt's a prison. FCI Dublin where Patty Hearst, Sara Jane Moore, and Heidi Fleiss served their time .
