Actress Felicity Huffman reported to prison on Tuesday morning to begin serving a 14-day sentence for her role in the U.S. college admissions scandal.
The former ‘Desperate Housewives’ star reported to the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California “to serve the term of imprisonment Judge Talwani ordered as one part of the punishment she imposed for Ms. Huffman’s actions,” according to the fallen star’s representatives.
“She will begin serving the remainder of the sentence Judge Talwani imposed – one year of supervised release, with conditions including 250 hours of community service – when she is released,” a statement reads.
WENN.com reports Huffman will serve the next two weeks in the low-security all-women’s federal prison, located in Alameda County in California.
Huffman, 56, accepted responsibility and pleaded guilty to charges of bribing a middleman to get her daughter into an elite university.
She learned her fate in a federal courtroom in Boston, Massachusetts on September 13.
She was also ordered to pay a $30,000 fine and complete 250 hours of community service upon her release in 2 weeks. The actress will also be placed on probation for one year.
She was one of 30 affluent parents, including ‘Fuller House’ star Lori Loughlin, who were charged with cheating the system.
Loughlin, 55, pleaded not guilty and has yet to be sentenced. A federal judge is expected to throw the book at Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, 56, who also pleaded not guilty.
