Disgraced actress Lori Loughlin will be serving out her prison sentence in a rather luxurious prison setting when she starts to serve out her punishment for her role in the college admissions scandal. The actress was given two months in prison in August after it was found that she and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, had pleaded guilty to charges of making $500,000 payments to William "Rick" Singer to get their two daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella Giannulli, into the University of Southern California's crew team.

Neither Olivia nor Isabella had ever participated in the sport ever. The 56-year-old 'Fuller House' star had been given a choice as to where she wanted to serve out her prison sentence and had handpicked the FCI Victorville which is a medium-security federal correctional institution. It is also the same institution where 'Dance Moms' star Abby Lee Miller had served out her time. Loughlin is required to report to the Victorville manor by November 19 and will be housed in an open-style dormitory. She will also have access to classes like pilates, spinning, ceramics and crocheting, Page Six revealed.

The publication cited the facilities' inmate handbook which states all the details of her new temporary home. She can also learn how to play the drums if she would want to. She will have to dress in the prison attire and will be required to wear the standard issued "safety shoes". The wakeup call at the prison is at 5.30 am while the lights out time is believed to be 9.30 pm. Many social media users have slammed the fact that Loughlin's prison time seems more like a retreat getaway. One such user had written, "Ridiculous the privilege. It’s infuriating. Meanwhile, a mother who lied about her home address all so her child could go to a better school is still in a jail she didn’t get to choose."



 

Another social media user commented, "Nobody can tell me that she didn't know what she was doing was illegal, her indignation, from the beginning, proved that she thinks she's untouchable. Her 15 minutes were up a very long time ago, give her a sentence that a poor white chick would get, no special privilege."



 

Yet another outraged user chimed in saying, "Until white collar crime is taken seriously in this country, and the guilty are actually sentenced to hard time, there will be continued civil unrest. The wealthy are truly privileged— Lori Loughlin gets to choose her country club prison — WTF !!"



 

"give me a f-ing break. what the hell ever happened to prison being a BAD place that people were supposed to want to stay out of? may as well put her up at club med," commented another user who echoed the same sentiments.



 

Another user took to Twitter to write, "So now if you commit a heinous crime, but you will be eaten alive behind bars you get your sentences suspended? Just what kind of justice is going on in this country nowadays I mean they couldn’t pick their jail like Lori Loughlin did."



 

In addition to her jail term, she was supposed to pay a $150,000 fine, serve two years of supervised release and complete 100 hours of community service. Her husband plea deal additionally included $250,000 fine, two years of supervised release and 250 hours of community service.
