Stewart was sentenced to five months in prison and was sent to a facility in Alderson, West Virginia.
While there, Stewart received a special visitor, talk show host and actor Rosie O’Donnell.
O’Donnell added that Stewart’s assistant contacted her two months later for a visit.
She went and disclosed to Stern thatMartha Stewart’s transformationinto a prison inmate was not what she expected.
However, this backfired on O’Donnell.
She said, “I thought, it’s prison I didn’t take a shower … O’Donnell added, “She cinched her orange jumpsuit … she looked fantastic.
And I looked like her homeless cousin from Utah.”
So what did they talk about during O’Donnell’s visit?
Stewart was released from prison in March 2005, but had to serve five more months at home.
I want to give you the opportunity to recover.”
Despite this cutesy moniker, Stewart has said that being confined was anything but pleasant.
However, Stewart has said that some good came out of her time in prison.
I learned how to crochet.
I still have the gorgeous crocheted poncho [that I wore leaving prison].
It’s in the attic.
And I re-upped my ceramics there."
In fact, Stewart made a ceramic nativity scene that she has shared with her followers onsocial media.
She later sold replicas of this nativity scene on her website.
