Martha is 62 years old. Even if she goes to prison, I doubt she'll be roughed up by fellow inmates. In fact, she'll be the hit at Cell Block 9. Potted rosemary trimmed into a topiary sphere looks so elegant in the prison yard garden and provides herbs for the mess hall. Martha is sure to please.

She won't go to a real prison, guys. White collar prisoners have their own prisons, and they don't even call them prisons, they are usually called "camps". She'll be in there with other wealthy criminals that commited securities fraud, embezzlement, and the like. It ain't no picnic, but it certainly ain't prison with cell blocks either.

As a former correctional officer, I can tell you that your assessment of correctional standards and custody levels are totally off. There is more to determining an inmate's custody level than just "blue-collar vs. white collar" crime. There is also such factors as flight-risk, previous criminal record, court orders on sentencing and results of their intake psychological profile. Martha Stewart may very well get placed in a Federal Bureau of Prisons minimum security institution, but it's not solely because she committed a "white-collar" crime. I worked in a medium-high security institution, and we had lots of "white-collar" inmates, along with tons of INS detainees, along with "blue collar" inmates who had committed violent felonies but exhibited good behavior and had worked their custody level down in the system.

Well that's a shame, criminals doing time for violent crimes should NOT be upgraded due to good behavior in prison since when they weren't in prison, they exhibited some pretty bad behavior.
