Felicity Huffman received a two-week sentence for her role in the college admissions scandal. She reported to a low-security prison in Dublin, CA. Huffman pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud, having paid $15,000 to help her daughter cheat on the SAT with the aid of consultant William Rick Singer.
