Felicity Huffman's Dublin Incarceration Garners Gawkers

The actress-turned-inmate has been behind bars for just seven days, but that's ample time for inside pics and headlines.

DUBLIN, CA — Apparently, recently imprisoned Felicity Huffman's inside moves are newsworthy. The actress-turned-inmate has been behind bars for just seven days, but that's ample time for pics and headlines.

There was this one: "Felicity Huffman Seen Walking Grounds of Dublin Prison." And this: "Felicity Huffman Seen in Her Prison Uniform for the First Time During Visit with Her Family." This too: "Felicity Huffman doing 'really well' one week into prison sentence: report."

When will prison mania end? In less than a week, when Huffman is released from Dublin's all-women, low-security Federal Correctional Institution on 8th Street after serving 13 days for her role in the college admissions scandal. (This story explains why Huffman is not serving out her full two-week sentence in Dublin.)
