Lori Loughlin Will Get to Serve Her Two-Month Sentence at the Prison of Her Choice
(in California)

wow...Concord, Shirley or Walpole prisons in Massachusetts weren't good enough for her.....but they are okay for the common Joe/Jane???

Sounds like the so called 'elite' do get special treatment....just saying

Well, she lives in LA. Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli Sell L.A. Home for $19 Million

She will probably get turndown service also.

I guess I have a slightly different take on the issue. At least she was willing to pay tuition. I think it is worse for the parents who give up their parental rights to the grandparents, so they can avoid the tuition and sponge off the taxpayers. They are more despicable than Lori Loughlin.

At least she wasn’t pretending to be black.

Never heard of her, just googled her name to figure out who she is. No wonder I never heard of her, never watched anything she was an actress in.

They're "sorry". Not for what they did--but for getting caught. But it gets worse. She's done as an actress. Her daughters will pay their own price--just watch. All they cared about was the parties they'd attend rather than actually learning something useful. But they'll blame this on their parents and accept on responsibility of their own. Sad all the way around.

Not done as an actress and will be out in a month for good behavior.

when you try to negotiate a deal you get your choice of prison in particular she is a parent and most judges want mothers near their daughters. Have some sympathy

California
 

California what do you expect?

Wow! Did you miss the point.

Done as an actress? Serious? Her daughters are doing just fine and so is her husband. And multi millionaires dont worry about if they never work again anyway

She is the "fall guy" for all the other elites caught up in this corruption.

What she did was wrong, wrong, wrong. And she should have consequences. But let’s compare that to someone who is willing to risk maiming or even killing multiple persons every time they drive while under the influence! These people who do this multiple times and think it’s no big deal just because they were lucky enough not to be caught or caught with such low consequences like a fine or no driving for 6 months. Lori’s crime did not endanger anyone’s life. And yes, I did lose a loved one to drunk driving.

Huh?

Since they were fighting the charge, I thought the term(s) would be longer.

Me too. Should be. Such a light sentence does not send the correct message

That’s hilarious

I think much the criticism of Lori Loughlin is fueled by the media and the fact that she is wealthy. It has gone way overboard. Our country has a lot more problems to worry about than people cheating to get into college. How about those who commit violent crimes, are arrested, and released the same day? I would much rather see them go to jail.

The prison systems make an attempt to place inmates near their families for visitation. They do this for everyone. They take into account the crime and which prisons can handle the inmate properly.

Or of American Indian descent...

Does anyone remember MARTHA STEWART ??
What's so different??

She will be serving FEDERAL time. She does not determine where she goes. A judge may recommend where she should go, such as California, but she doesn't pick. Trust me I use to determine where federal inmates were designated to serve their term. If the judge recommended CA, the Bureau of Prisons will take it into consideration and and make the final determination where she will serve her 2 months. I hope this helps.

And in other breaking news, the forecast for Asciano, Italy calls for rain beginning this afternoon with a high of 73 degrees.

Also, I’d be surprised if her legal fees are much under a million.

Actually, as a retired university professor, I don’t have much of a problem with people making very large donations to schools in exchange for the schools admitting a student or two—at full cost. It’s a good way for a school to get something it needs. Even arranging a phony sports scholarship doesn’t bother me much—the real players recognize the ones who aren’t. If they shame the fakes, so what? If the real players make good contacts with the fakes with money, that may help the real players down the line.

I have no doubt that Harvard and Yale are amazing schools, and they have a lot of students who are among the smartest people in the country. The academic competition with other great students and the opportunity to share ideas and learn is terrific for these exceptional students. However, for a lot of students in business and similar fields, the great thing about Harvard and Yale and some of the other Ivy League schools is the opportunity to make contacts with executives and top companies and the children of the elite families in the world. Why does this matter. I have a friend who works at Morgan Stanley and earns three times what I ever earned, but is not an executive. She paid $72,000 or so cash per year to send her son to Colby College, in Maine, which is hard to get into, but nowhere near Harvard level. He played Lacrosse. So, he made powerful friends and had a great Wall Street internship every summer. Before his senior year, he had a firm job offer at a top hedge fund with a starting salary after graduation of $150,000 a year. He didn’t know much, but he was “the right sort of people,” so he was welcomed in. His mom got great value for money. That’s how the system works. That’s what it is for. If your kids don’t want to enter that world or marry into that world, they needn’t both to apply.

The thing is, there are outstanding universities in California, as good as Harvard: UCLA, Berkeley, Stanford, Cal Tech, USC, and a lot of others nearly that good. This woman shamed herself, her daughter, and her entire state, mostly for bragging rights.

As they say in Hollywood these days, “Orange Is the New Black.”

Well she lives in California, her daughters, who were the root cause of this, live there too.

I don't know if getting to pick your prison is such a great thing it's like being able to pick which Golden Corral to eat at.

Money talks.........them that has....get!

:bigbow:

I agree with most of what you said except the part of the phony sports scholarship. That was part of the issue. First was tne falsified SAT scores, second were the scholarships who gave kids free, or near free, rides when their family was more than able to pay to send them them to USC. From what I remember her daughter was given a rowing scholarship, never having participated in the sport, never went to one practice or meet and posted on her Instagram she was only at USC to party and not attend classes.

With all their money, if she really wanted to just party at Southern Cal why not just rent an off campus apartment and go hang out? Then nobody would have cared but for whatever reason they wanted her to look like a legit student-athlete.

Wouldn’t it have better then trying these things in court , there couldn’t have been large donations to programs that help pay tuition for needy kids .The whole process seemed to me to be a dog and pony show for prosecutors and for the public a chance to heap all this scorn on people who were only doing what many of them would do if they had the money

Paying someone to take your kids ACT tests is okay???

Looking the other way and allowing a privileged few to 'jump the line' and buy their kids way into higher education is fine because it's all good for the cause???

guess they don't stress ethics at the university level anymore

"He didn't know much, 'but he was the right sort of people' so he was welcomed in"... wow again, now that's a statement just oozing with academic elitism if there ever was one. As-well-as a reflection on how poorly higher education actually prepares students for the real world even after the kid had 4 years of internship.

Thanks for reinforcing how out of touch the folks that dwell in their over priced, insulated world of academia are.

I have sympathy for people who are the victims of circumstances that are beyond their control. I have no sympathy for people who knowingly commit criminal acts. Her daughters aren't children, they are college age adults. Do you think that Joe Schmoe nobody would be given any consideration? She is a criminal and should have gotten the same sentence like old Joe would have gotten for the same offense. She should also serve time in the same prison Joe would have be sent to. Right in there with all the other criminals where she belongs.

Why not both?

White collar crime is more prevalent then blue collar crime. According to an Oxford study 36% of business and 25% of households (individuals) h ave been white collar crime victims in recent years. Compare this to 8% of businesses and 1.1% of households (individuals) who were victims of blue collar or street crimes.

White collar crimes tend to be more costly due to fraud, embezzlement and stock manipulation. According to FBI statistics white collar crime costs the American public $1 Trillion a year while blue collar crime accounts for $15 billion in losses.

Psychology Today says white collar crimes tend to draw lesser sentences because typically the criminal is white, educated and wealthy, and can afford a proper defense while most blue collar crimes are committed by lower income criminals who don't have money to defend themselves properly.

Now you tell me!!!!...........could have used that 40 years ago.

Her criminal act deprived a deserving student their chance to excel. I find that even more despicable.

No, she was a willing participant in a criminal act and got caught.

Then what was Felicity Huffman?

Ohiobuckeye
 

LOL, I never heard of her either, 2 months in jail, she must of Jay Walked to get only 2 months!

Yeah, right. :ohdear:

So it's OK to deprive a poor qualified athlete the opportunities you mention so the college can get more money? That's just as despicable. Confirms my belief in the lack of integrity in the higher education system.
