Mossimo Giannulli asked to leave prison earlier and serve the rest of his five-month sentence at home, after spending eight weeks in solitary confinement.
Lawyers for Lori Loughlin’s husband filed court documents on Thursday requesting “that he be released from the custody of the Bureau of Prisons and serve the rest of his sentence in confinement at home.”
As of Wednesday, Giannulli had spent 56 days in solitary quarantine, the suit said. Its prosecutors claim that, as well as the need to reduce the prison population due to the risks of COVID-19, they present “extraordinary and compelling reasons for the Court to grant the protection requested by Mr. Giannulli”.
The suit also notes that Giannulli himself “exhausted administrative remedies by asking the BOP to transfer him to home confinement”.

For 56 days, Giannulli was in solitary confinement “24 hours a day, with only three short 20-minute breaks a week”.
