Felicity Huffman is a changed woman.
It's been reported that the actress wants to work with inmates since she "felt guilty leaving them behind" after completing her 14-day prison sentence.
She reportedly wants to work with inmates since she "felt guilty leaving them behind."
The scandal, which first broke this past summer, saw the FBI charge 33 parents who had allegedly bribed to get their children into top-tier colleges, such as Yale and Stanford.
Lori and her husband, fashion designer, Mossimo Giannulli are accused of paying William Rick Singer $500,000 to fake athletic rowing credentials to get their daughter into the University of Southern California.
It was a move that the actress showed remorse for at her sentence hearing.
“I was frightened. I was stupid, and I was so wrong," she said tearfully.
She was also sentenced to 250 hours of community service.
According to Forbes, it's described as one of the "cushiest" prisons out there.
In addition to having access to a library, gym, and TV room, representatives for Huffman said that she would share an open room and toilet with three other inmates.
There was no special treatment since it was reported that she would have to follow all of the same rules and regulations as the other inmates.
The U.S. Bureau of Prisons said that, under prison policy, inmates scheduled for weekend release are let out on a Friday.
This includes how she reportedly wants to work with inmates since she felt guilty leaving them behind.
She also saw that there were "no real programs or initiatives to help the incarcerated women who were there."
"Felicity felt like the women in that facility were being discarded and left behind; they were forgotten," they said.
While she's already completing some of her community service with The Teen Project in Los Angeles, she wants her next community service work to help inmates.
She even wants the work to go beyond the 250 hours she has to serve.
"This work will be a long term commitment for her well beyond her community service hours."
"I can promise you that in the months and years to come that I will try and live a more honest life, serve as a better role model for my daughters and family and continue to contribute my time and energies wherever I am needed. My hope now is that my family, my friends and my community will forgive me for my actions."
