Martha Stewart Released from Prison

[babypurin]

Entrepreneur Martha Stewart was released from prison early Friday after serving a five-month sentence for lying about a stock sale.

The 63-year-old Stewart is well known in the United States for her television programs, magazines and cookbooks that taught a generation of Americans to entertain with style and flair. Her case has been widely covered in U.S. media.

She returned from West Virginia to her multi-million-dollar, 62-hectare farm in New York state in a private jet.

That is where Stewart will spend the next five months under house arrest, leaving her home only for work.

She plans to revive her company by starting two new television programs and other media projects.

In a statement on her company's website, Stewart called her prison experience "life altering and life affirming."

now for my serious reply, I do have to say that she gained a lot of respect from me when she bit the bullet and went to jail instead of doing what every other celeb would do and try to appeal it thinking they're above the system. I know she did appeal it, but the fact that she went ot jail before the appeal was decided makes me respect her more.

I didn't expect her to go in like that at all.

I didn't expect her to go to jail either. But I think one of the motivating factors was that her jail's accomodations are better than many Comfort Inn/Holiday Inn rooms . Really, it's like leaving a Sheraton and checking into a Ritz-Carlton.

But then again, her crime really didn't warrant what my mind sees as a 'real' jail.

As I point out to everybody who complains about her having to go to jail, she was allowed to have a microwave, but when I was in the dorms I wasn't able to....I think that sums it up right there.

Thats because they were worried about the neighbour hood cats and small dogs.

I completely agree. I couldn't stand to see her face before hand. Now, I have a great deal of respect for her. She realized it was better to just do it and then rebuild than fight it for years and fade into the background. Good for her!
