Felicity Huffman released from prison 11 days into two-week sentence

Actress Felicity Huffman was released from federal prison in California Friday after serving less than two weeks behind bars for her role in the massive college admissions scandal.

The former “Desperate Housewives” star reported to the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California, to begin her 14-day prison sentence on Oct. 15 but got out early thanks to a policy for inmates set to be released on weekends, Sally Swarts, a spokeswoman for the prison told The Post.

Under the policy, the Bureau of Prisons may release an inmate whose release date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holidays.

Huffman was originally set to be released from the low-security, all-women prison on Sunday.

Huffman, 56, who is married to fellow star William H. Macy, pleaded guilty in May to paying a $15,000 bribe to now-notorious scandal mastermind William “Rick” Singer to inflate one of her daughter’s college-admission test scores.

Video exclusively obtained by The Post showed the Emmy-winning actress, dressed in prison green, talking to Macy as they walked around a fenced-in yard of the prison last weekend.

Martha Stewart, who once served a five-month prison sentence in 2004 after she was convicted of lying to the feds about securities violations, recently said that Huffman “looked pretty schlumpy” while incarcerated. 

Huffman is not the only high-profile actress mixed up in the college admissions scandal.

Former “Full House” TV star Lori Loughlin and her designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli, have been charged in the scheme.

The pair is accused of paying Singer $500,000 to help get their daughters into the University of Southern California.

Loughlin and Giannulli have pleaded not guilty.
