This is not going to be fun.  Felicity Huffman began her 14 day sentence today at the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, CA. She pled guilty in May to paying now-notorious admissions fixer Rick Singer $15,000 to have her college-age daughter’s SAT scores jacked up. I wonder if this will be the same type of thing Martha Stewart went through. A club fed style retreat pr...
