Former “Fuller House” actress Lori Loughlin just got some good news from a federal judge as she came one step closer to serving her two month prison sentence for her role in the college admissions scandal at the facility of her choice.
Last month, Loughlin was sentenced to two months in prison by Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton for 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.
Court documents on file at the United States District Court in Massachusetts that were obtained by Fox News show that Judge Gorton just gave Loughlin some good news, as he signed off on the recommendation that she “be designated to a facility closest to her home in [California], preferably the camp at FCI Victorville, if commensurate with the appropriate security level.”

This judgement confirms that Loughlin has to surrender to a facility designated by the Bureau of Prisons before 2pm on November 19. Victorville reportedly consists of a “low-security prison camp for 300 inmates.”
After she is released from prison, Loughlin will be on a supervised release for a term of two years. The new judgement also states that Loughlin’s drug testing condition has been suspended based on the court’s determination that she poses “a low risk of future substance abuse.” However, it also states that during her supervised release, Loughlin must comply with the collection of DNA as directed by a probation officer.
In addition to prison time, Loughlin’s sentence requires her to complete 100 hours of community service as well as pay a $150,000 fine and a $100 assessment. She is then prohibited from “incurring new credit charges or opening additional lines of credit without the approval of the Probation Office while any financial obligations remain outstanding.”
During her sentencing hearing, Loughlin became emotional as she addressed the judge.
“I made an awful decision. I went along will the plan to give my daughters an unfair advantage in the college admissions process,” she said. “In doing so, ignored my intuition and allowed myself to be swayed from my moral compass. I thought I was acting out of love for my children, but in reality, I had only undermined and diminished my daughters’ abilities and accomplishments.”
“While I wish I could go back and do things differently, I can only take responsibility and move forward,” Loughlin added. “I have great faith in God and I believe in redemption and I will do everything in my power to redeem myself and use this experience as a catalyst to do good and give back for the rest of my life. Your honor, I am truly, profoundly and deeply sorry. I am ready to face the consequences and make amends.”
