Report: Actress Lori Loughlin hires prison consultant for advice on life in prison

Actress Lori Loughlin has reportedly hired a prison consultant to tell her what life would be like if she's convicted and sentenced to jail time, according to People Magazine.

The report says Loughlin, 55, is trying to consider every contingency ahead of her day in court.

Loughlin and her husband are accused of paying $500,000 to an admissions consultant to help get her daughters into the University of Southern California.

The consultant falsely told the school they were members of a crew team, even though neither participated in the sport.

Loughlin has pleaded not guilty to charges of money laundering conspiracy and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, among other charges.

If convicted, she faces up to 45 years in prison.
