KEY POINTS

Lori Loughlin has made several friends in prison but keeps to herself, a report says
The "Full House" actress is serving a two-month sentence for her role in a college admissions fraud scheme
Her daughters are reportedly struggling to cope with both of their parents being in prison

Lori Loughlin, who reported to prison last month, has been doing fine behind bars, a report says.

An unnamed source told Us Weekly that the “Full House” actress has been making friends with other inmates and “hangs out with a group” but “keeps to herself.” Apart from socializing while she serves her two-month sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California, Loughlin is leaning on her faith.

The 56-year-old attends “church services and has been praying a lot,” the insider added. Loughlin, who was sentenced to prison due to her involvement in a massive college admissions cheating scandal, is also “healthy” despite being behind bars during the COVID-19 pandemic, the source said.

“The other women are happy Lori is there because officials are taking COVID-19 seriously with a high-profile inmate. It would be horrible PR if Lori got COVID-19 and got really sick,” the source told the outlet.

Loughlin will also receive updates about her daughters, Bella and Olivia Jade. Two weeks after the “90210” alum reported to the federal prison, her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, also began his sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Lompoc.

A People insider also revealed that Loughlin was “weepy” on the first night, but “she pulled herself together quickly.”

“She hasn’t had any specific problems. No one is bullying her,” the unnamed source shared, adding that Loughlin is taking this time to focus on herself.

Loughlin and Giannulli, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges in March, are serving two-month and five-month sentences, respectively. The pair was accused of paying $500,000 to admissions scam ringleader Rick Singer for their daughters’ acceptance into the University of Southern California.

While Loughlin seems to be adjusting well in prison, her daughters are finding it hard to cope with both of their parents being behind bars. The source told People that this was a “nightmare” for Bella and Olivia Jade.

"They were very upset when they said goodbye to Lori. But to have both of their parents now in prison at the same time is very upsetting," the insider claimed.

The source continued, "They are beyond worried. They can't wait to have their mom home in December, though. They try to focus on this."
