They’re singing “Deck the Halls”, but it’s not like Christmas for those celebrities who spend the most wonderful time of the year in federal prison.
From Lori Loughlin to Joe Exotic, these stars are swinging the bells in their overalls this holiday season, but the prison’s industrial complex is providing them with a fragment of the Christmas treat: a Christmas meal.
TMZ obtained prison menus for famous convicts across the country, finding that many inmates will be feasting on a festive bird this Christmas.
The disgraceful “Full House” actress Lori Loughlin, 56, is having a Cornish chicken dinner with meat sauce and roast beef with horseradish sauce at FCI Dublin, California. The collaborator of the college betrayal scandal will also receive pilaf rice, a roll with honey and apple butter, Brussels sprouts with brown butter, pumpkin cheesecake, fresh fruit and a choice of gratin or baked potato. Although decayed by prison standards, the meal certainly cannot make up for the fact that she was almost able to celebrate the holiday as a free woman.
Meanwhile, Loughlin’s husband, 57-year-old stylist Mossimo Giannulli, will eat 110 grams of roast beef, baked mac ‘n’ cheese, yams, green beans, two rolls, nut pie and half a chicken at USP Lompoc in California. If he chooses to become a vegetarian, the average security penitentiary will serve a soy-based chicken burger and 120 grams of soy-based beef.
In Texas, at FMC Fort Worth, wild boy “Tiger King” Joe Exotic, 57, will eat corn bread sauce, macaroni and cheese, peas and pumpkin pie. Exotic – whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage – also offers a choice of roasted Cornish chicken or spinach quiche. He is currently one year out of his 22-year sentence for violating the Endangered Species Act and falsifying wildlife records.
At New York’s Wende Correctional Facility, John Lennon’s killer, Mark David Chapman, 65, will enjoy a meal of roasted chicken breast, seasoned chicken sauce, beaten potatoes, zucchini seasoned with sauce, rolls with margarine and, for dessert, an ice cream sundae, TMZ reported. Chapman, who fatally shot the ex-Beatle out of his Manhattan apartment on December 8, 1980, had his probation denied for the 11th time this year.
