Lori Laughlin has hired a prison coach. The as-yet-to-be convicted actress is being coached on such etiquette items and avoiding eye contact, prison slang and avoiding granting or accepting favors. The 55-year old actress is also taking self-defense classes.
Michael Frantz, director of Jail Time Consulting, has expressed the idea that it seems that Laughlin may be getting some bad advice. He points out (correctly) that personal violence in women's prisons is rare and virtually always low-key. He asserts (correctly I believe) that the classes in prison manners and maybe Tai Chi are the way to go. Trying to become Betty Bad-Ass will not be helpful.
Laughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli are scheduled for another round of court hearings next month. Both have pleaded not guilty to fraud and money laundering and she is vowing to fight the charges to the max. Friends as associates say she is "scared shitless" of actually going to prison.
Her next most famous buddy rolled up in the college scandal, Felicity Huffman, copped a plea right off, apologized, got 14 DAYS and served 11. The longest sentence handed out in the Varsity Blues cases has, I believe, been six months. She is now claiming the feds are concealing exculpatory evidence in her case. AS a tactic that might work in the current zeitgeist. I just wouldn't bet on it.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Is he teaching her about same sex sex? Oh, she's probably already practiced that.
