Lori Loughlin’s request to serve sentence at California prison approved

Lori Loughlin has been approved to serve her upcoming sentence at a cushy, low-security federal prison “camp” in Victorville, Calif. — her first choice of slammers, according to new court docs.

The same judge who scolded the “Full House” actress at sentencing last month has approved her request to do her time at “a facility closest to her home in CA, preferably the camp at FCI Victorville,” the documents say.

She must surrender by 2 p.m. Nov. 19 at the prison, which is about two hours east of the Hidden Hills mansion recently purchased with her designer husband and co-defendant, Mossimo Giannulli.

The Bureau of Prisons still has final approval of her request to stay at the prison’s low-security “camp” section as punishment for her role in the nationwide college admissions scandal.

Instead of hard-core cells, the facility features “‘open bay’ dormitories, two and four-person cubicles, and four-person rooms,”  according to Pink Lady Prison Consultants, a firm that helps women prepare for federal prison terms.

Loughlin and Giannulli paid a half-million-dollar bribe to get their two daughters, Olivia Jade Giannulli and Isabella Rose Giannulli, into the University of Southern California as fake rowing recruits as part of the wider college admissions scandal.

The same sentencing judge, U.S. District Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton, has also approved Giannulli’s request that he spend his own five-month sentence at the federal prison in Lompoc, a low-security men’s lockup two hours west of their new mansion.
