The former “Fuller House” star Lori Loughlin is just a few weeks away from being released from prison after serving her two month sentence for her role in the college admissions scandal, with some reports saying she could be out before prison.

According to new reports, Loughlin’s release date can’t come soon enough for her, as she is feeling the effects of being locked up for over a month.

When Loughlin began her sentence at the end of October, she was placed in quarantine due to COVID-19. While she has since been out of quarantine, her prison FCI Dublin has moderated their operations in the hopes of mitigating the spread of coronavirus. Holli Coulman, a Dallas, Texas-based leading prison consultant and former felon, told Fox News that this means Loughlin’s current situation is similar to being in quarantine.

“So that means they can’t go out of their unit and that means where they sleep,” she explained.

Bureau of Prisons said in a statement that amidst this pandemic, “the BOP has implemented modified operations in order to maximize social distancing in our facilities as much as practicable.  Therefore, inmates are limited in their movements to avoid congregate gathering and maximize social distancing.”

Loughlin and her fellow inmates are served a bagged breakfast that consists of dry cereal, a granola bar and a piece of fruit, in addition to lunch and dinner, per the prison National Menu.

“There’s a small group of women who are going in and putting together these bagged meals and they’re coming into the unit handing them out,” Coulman explained.

She went on to talk about what Loughlin’s living situation is like, and it likely is not what you’re thinking it was.

“Where she sleeps, everybody thinks it’s a cell but it’s not,” Coulman said. “Just think of a Costco – big, open and rows and rows of cubicles, cinderblocks about eight feet high. And there are two bunk beds in each, two plastic chairs, one writing desk and four lockers. Currently, she has a pair of tennis shoes, a pair of boots, a pair of shower shoes and her uniforms. That’s it.”

Despite all of this, she added that Loughlin “is going to be fine.” Coulman explained that she feels this way because while some inmates resent Loughlin’s “bogus” sentence, the actress has also made friends with some of the others.

“Because they’re locked in a unit, she’s really not mingling around with everybody and it’s just primarily the people in her little row area,” Coulman said. “She’s been very humbled and she’s been listening to other people’s stories.”

Loughlin was sentenced to two months in prison after taking a plea deal in which she pled guilty to charges related to her paying $500,000 in bribe money to have her two daughters admitted to the University of Southern California as members of the crew team, even though neither girl had ever rowed before.
