So will Lori make it 2 or 3 weeks before they let her out?

Sexual assault - so hilarious! Yeah. As a culture we've mostly excised (or at least suppressed) rape jokes -- except in the context of prisons. In that context, for some reason, people feel free to laugh about sexual assault. In college, we used to tell a lot of gay jokes. And the biggest instigator was my best friend 1. Ten years later, he came out of the closet, which was a surprise to me because he dated and girls liked him a lot. 2 He explained that he told a lot of gay jokes because he was ashamed of what he was 3 and he wanted to divert attention away from him. I personally did not tell any gay jokes but I laughed uproariously when others did and I used the term "flaming faggot" 4 a lot. ---- 1 My best friend at the time. Now, I don't have any friends, much less best friends. 2 I understand that you can be gay AND still date members of the opposite sex AND have lots of them love you. 3 Self-loathing. 4 Was President James Buchanan a flaming faggot?

Nobody, regardless of their past, should be subjected to unwanted violence, sexual or otherwise. I actually think that prison rape and excessive violence while incarcerated should be a death sentence for perpetrators.

It's my understanding you serve 85-100% of federal time under a year, no matter what.
(not saying they won't get let out early due to CV-19)

According to the comments on that article, Federal inmates going to medium security prisons are usually given a choice of which prison they want to go to.

Plot thickens (just as it seemed to be thinning out) I mean, come on... "Blum told the San Francisco Chronicle on Thursday that he’s done nothing wrong and that he’s used his clout to get friends and family into the elite public system for years.
“I did it a bunch of times,” Blum said, adding that he has never considered it a problem to write recommendation letters bypassing the traditional admissions process. A policy prohibiting such influence has been in place throughout Blum’s 18-year tenure on the Board of Regents, the newspaper reported."

I don't at all hate this response from Olivia Jade: www.instyle.com/celebrity/olivia-jade-giannulli-red-table-talk?utm_campaign=instyle_instyle&utm_content=manual&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_term=5fcfb3309e34670001d91689“No matter what the situation is, you don’t want to see your parents go to prison,” she told the hosts, “ but also I think it’s necessary for us to move on and move forward.”“What hasn’t been super public is that there is no justifying or excusing what happened, because what happened was wrong,” she said off the bat. “I think every single person in my family can say ‘that was messed up, that was a big mistake.’”“What’s so important to me is to now learn from the mistake, not to now be shamed, and punished, and never given a second chance. I’m 21 — I feel like I deserve a second chance, to redeem myself, to show I’ve grown.”“I’m not trying to victimize myself,” she clarified. “I don’t want pity. I don’t deserve pity. We messed up. I just want a second chance to be like ‘I recognize I messed up.’“When all this first happened and it became public, I remember thinking ‘how are people mad about this?’ In the bubble I grew up in, I didn’t know so much outside of it. And a lot of kids in that bubble, their parents were donating to schools and doing stuff … So many advantages.” “A huge part of having privilege is not knowing you have privilege,” Giannulli admitted. “So when it was happening, it didn’t feel wrong.”“I understand why people are angry and I understand why people say hurtful things,” she said. “I would too if I wasn’t in my boat. I think I had to go through the backlash, because when you read it you realize that there’s some truth to it.”“I didn’t come on here to try and win people over,” she said. “I just want to apologize for contributing to these social inequalities, even though I didn’t realize it at the time, being able to come here and recognize that I am aware.”She's right. She is young and she does deserve a second chance for the public to recognize her growth and see where she takes herself next. We'll see what kind of lifepath she decides to take for herself next.

Not that this take is wrong, but I bet there are a whole lot of people who are *still* in prison 25-30 years later for drug offenses they committed when they were about her age in the 1990s. It's a lot easier for a rich white girl to ask for a second chance than a poor black boy.
