“Full House” star Lori Loughlin reported to federal prison on Friday to begin a two-month sentence for her role in the college admissions cheating scandal and, in a coronavirus twist, one of her fellow defendants failed to win early release.
Loughlin, 56, reported to the same Dublin, Calif., prison where “Desperate Housewives” actress Felicity Huffman served 11 days last October for her role in the same cheating scandal.
Loughlin will be expected to follow the same rules, including a 5 a.m. wake-up call, five inmate roll calls per day and a uniform of a brown T-shirt and khaki pants.
Her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, 57, is set to report to prison on Nov. 19 to begin a five-month sentence.
In May, the couple admitted to paying $500,000 to Rick Singer and Key Worldwide Foundation to falsely designate their daughters, Isabella Rose Giannulli, 21, and Olivia Jade Giannulli, 20, as University of Southern California crew team recruits, even though neither girl was a rower. Loughlin and her husband even posed them on rowing machines for their admissions applications.
Loughlin has “agreed that, during her two month sentence, she will not seek an early release from prison on COVID-related grounds,” according to U.S. Attorney Andrew E. Lelling’s office.
The lawyer for another “Varsity Blues” parent, Elizabeth Henriquez, asked that her seven-month sentence be reduced by seven weeks. But her case manager at the Dublin prison told her that, absent any modification of her sentence, she will be released on Jan. 7 after a 21-day “exit quarantine” to make sure she is COVID-free.
“The conditions of this ‘exit quarantine’ will be analogous to solitary confinement,” her lawyer, Aron Katz, said in court papers. “Elizabeth will be allowed out of her tiny cell for only 10 minutes per day, three days per week, to shower and change clothes. … The only difference between these ‘exit quarantine’ conditions and solitary confinement is that Elizabeth may have a cellmate, which in our opinion is even worse than being alone because it will deprive Elizabeth of any privacy … and make her tiny cell even more physically cramped.”
Scott Taylor, a spokesman for the federal Bureau of Prisons, said all inmates are placed in quarantine for at least 14 days prior to their departure. After the quarantine period, an inmate who tests negative for coronavirus and is asymptomatic is approved for release. If the inmate tests positive or becomes symptomatic, the inmate is placed in medical isolation and is not permitted to be released until medical staff deems the person recovered.
“If an inmate has active COVID-19 or is in medical isolation on their release date, or is an immediate release because of statutory or judicial requirements, the institution notifies the local health authorities in the location where the inmate is releasing,” Taylor said. “Institution staff also coordinate with local health department authorities to minimize exposure with the public upon release.”
Both Henriquez’s and Loughlin’s lawyers declined to comment.
