For Martha, home will seem like a world away

THE Danbury Federal Correctional Institution is only about 20 miles from Martha Stewart’s home in Connecticut, but it will seem like a world away from her usual lifestyle.

For Martha, home will seem like a world away

If Stewart loses her appeals, she will in all likelihood end up at the low-security prison that is home to 1,300 female inmates.

The queen of high-thread-count sheets will get military-style linens for her bunk bed. She will have to trade in her wardrobe for prison khaki jumpsuits. She could get stuck on kitchen detail - backbreaking work that pays about 12 cents an hour and requires inmates to be up before the crack of dawn.
