Abby Lee Miller Explains Lori Loughlin’s Prison Life Daily Routine – Hollywood Life
(Her first 2 weeks will be in Covid isolation)
Excerpts:
The women in the prison cook the food, so it can vary from day to day. Some cooks spice the food more than others. There’s a menu that is nationwide, every single federal prison on every single Wednesday is having a hamburger or cheeseburger. We had taco Tuesday. The food itself is not bad, it’s the way it’s presented (that's bad) in the plastic tray and it’s slopped in there. A lot of tater tots and wheat bread.
The repetitiveness is a drag, the same daily routine like Groundhog Day. It starts with a 6am breakfast of usually oatmeal, get there early while it is still hot. They sell raisins in the commissary you can add to it. You can not take any food out and they stand at the door to make sure.
At 10am there’s a count. You’re up, you’re dressed and somebody comes in and they count you. They literally walk up and down the aisles and you stand right outside your little cubicle and you get counted. Some inmates go to life skill jobs like plumbing, welding and landscaping. But it isn’t required and if someone doesn't work, they’re in free time until lunch is served.
Working inmates get to eat lunch at 10:30am, followed by the rest of the general population.
Then it is more free time, then another head count, then dinner between 4pm and 5:30pm.
There is a library, games, some programs that go on in the chapel or in the church, classes taught by inmates, inmates studying for their GED
There are two TV rooms for inmates, with one TV on a Spanish channel and another in English. News programs take precedent over other viewing options.
Lights out around 9 to 10 pm but sometimes the guards wouldn’t care and you could watch TV until 2 in the morning.
I read 150 books, got a tan and lost 127 pounds.
