"Stewart, like all federal prisoners, is allowed to spend a maximum of $290 a month at the prison commissary. It's basically a mini-mart that sells snacks, stamps, and some toiletries.
All inmate money is kept in separate "commissary accounts," according to Novak. Stewart will be allowed to take any leftover funds with her when she is released in March."
She still gets to go "shopping" and have a "bank account"...in prison. Rediculous.
""I have adjusted and am very busy," wrote Stewart in a posting on http://www.marthatalks.com. 'The camp is like an old-fashioned college campus...'"
Yeah she's really learning her lesson...Some R&R at camp cupcake, shopping for lipstick and snacks, and posting to her blog, and then when she gets out she will write a book about it and make $5 million. Do we really think experiences like this, or the "threat" of them are a deterrent to crime?
I predict soon there will be a reality prison show, that shows 5 people in prison and the "toils" of their daily lives. It will probably be something similar to the "Growing up Gotti" show on A&E :rolleyes:
