Who else will be there?

Like Pugh, some inmates are serving time for white-collar crimes, such as bribery, security fraud and mortgage fraud. Many inmates are likely to be nonviolent drug offenders.

Others were sentenced for more violent crimes. Jordan Graham, an 28-year-old Montana woman, is serving a 30-year term at Aliceville after admitting to luring her husband to Glacier National Park and pushing him off a cliff. He was killed by the fall, and the case garnered national media attention.

Jean Therese Brown, a Jamaican woman who was convicted of murdering a Maryland man in 2009, is serving a life sentence at Aliceville. Federal investigators said Brown was one of the leaders of an international drug smuggling ring. She and her co-conspirators dismembered a man and disposed of the body in the Loch Raven and Liberty Road areas.

Serving a 43-year sentence at Aliceville is Bernetta Willis, an Alabama woman convicted on 22 counts for filing false claims for Hurricane Katrina disaster assistance. Willis was convicted of stealing $80,000, and received the longest sentence to date for fraud connected to Katrina.

Karen Sypher, a Kentucky woman convicted of trying to extort University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino following an affair, also served time at Aliceville. She was released in 2017.

What’s it like inside?

limited to lockers, and locks can be purchased at the prison commissary. Basic toiletries are available to inmates, as needed.

For Pugh, who once used her 2 Chic Boutique not only to resell posh clothing but to illegally channel campaign funds, her new wardrobe will be more commissary than consignment. She must wear green shirts, green pants, a T-shirt and institution shoes. Inmates are prohibited from wearing transparent clothing or baring their midsections. Ball caps must be worn with the bill forward.

General wake-up time for inmates is 5:45 a.m. Inmates are counted at 4 p.m., 10 p.m., midnight, 3 a.m. and 5 a.m.
