Martha Stewart went to prison for several offenses, including insider trading, conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and making false statements as part of their initial cover-up strategy. She was found guilty of four counts of obstruction of justice and lying to investigators, and sentenced to five months in prison, five months of house arrest, and two years of probation. Although she was not convicted of criminal insider trading charges, she had to pay $195,000 to settle a civil case with the Securities and Exchange Commission. She served her prison sentence at the Alderson Federal Prison Camp in West Virginia, which the media dubbed Camp Cupcake due to its comparatively lenient conditions. During her time there, she taught fellow inmates to start their own businesses and became somewhat of an informal go-between for the prison administration and inmates.
