Felicity Huffman pictured in California jail

Extraordinary pictures have emerged of actress Felicity Huffman as she serves her time behind bars over the college admissions scandal.

Photos have emerged showing Hollywood actress Felicity Huffman wearing a dark-green jumpsuit as she serves her sentence in a California prison.

The former Desperate Housewives star was spotted with her hair bundled under a white baseball cap as she walked between buildings on the grounds of the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California, on family visiting day, the New York Post reported.

The Post and TMZ posted photos of Huffman’s family — husband William H. Macy and daughter Sophia — arriving at the jail from Los Angeles to visit her.

Huffman, 56, surrendered to authorities on Tuesday to begin what was supposed to be a 14-day jail sentence after pleading guilty in May in connection with the college admissions scandal.

But a spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons told Entertainment Tonightthat Huffman would serve only 13 days because she received credit for time spent in custody following her arrest in March.

Huffman pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud. She confessed to paying an admissions consultant $15,000 to have a proctor correct her elder daughter’s answers on the SAT.

She is supposed to complete her time in custody next Sunday.

The star received some sympathy from Alec Baldwin, who wrote on Twitter on Wednesday that he didn’t believe parents caught in the admissions scandal should receive jail time.

“I don’t think anyone involved in the college fraud cases should go to prison,” Baldwin wrote.

“That includes past cases as well. Community service, fines, yes. But prison time, no. My heart goes out to Felicity, Bill Macy and their family.”

Her former Desperate Housewives co-star, Eva Longoria, also came out in support of Huffman.

Longoria and the show’s creator Marc Cherry both penned letters last month attesting to Huffman’s character in an attempt to keep the star out of jail.

In a letter submitted to the court, Longoria, 44, opened up about the “bullying” she was subjected to on the set of the hit show, which was frequently hit with reports of behind-the-scenes tensions during its eight-season run.

“There was a time I was being bullied at work by a co-worker,” Longoria writes, not naming the co-star.

“I dreaded the days I had to work with that person because it was pure torture. Until one day, Felicity told the bully ‘enough’ and it all stopped. Felicity could feel that I was riddled with anxiety even though I never complained or mentioned the abuse to anyone,” Longoria writes in the letter, which was obtained by NBC News.

Longoria also revealed Huffman was the only co-star who showed an interest and actively participated in her charity work — the others were “usually too busy to help” — and Huffman had been her sole supporter in achieving pay parity with the rest of the main cast.

When Desperate Housewives became a worldwide hit and the main cast’s contracts were up for negotiation, Huffman suggested they all negotiate together and ask for the same wage.

“This did not go over too well with the others. But Felicity stood up for me, saying it was fair because the success of the show depended on all of us, not one of us,” she wrote.

“This fight lasted weeks, but Felicity held strong and convinced everyone this was the right thing to do. And thanks to her, I was bumped up to favoured nations. It wasn’t about the money for me, it was the fact that I was seen as an equal, which is how Felicity had always seen me.”
