"In my desperation to be a good mother, I convinced myself that I believed that all I was doing was giving my daughter a fair chance," Huffman said in a letter to the court. “I see the irony in that statement now because what I have done is the opposite of fairness. I have broken the law, I have cheated the educational community, I have betrayed my daughter and I have failed my family. ”

In court during his sentence, Huffman apologized to the judge, her daughters and her husband, actor William H. Macy.

"I am deeply ashamed of what I have done," he told the judge. “At the end of the day I had to make a decision. I could have said 'no'. "

Huffman also echoed that sentiment in a statement issued to the media, saying: “There are no excuses or justifications for my actions. Point".

"And especially I want to apologize to students who work hard every day to enter college, and with their parents who make huge sacrifices to support their children," he said in his statement.

The federal correctional institution in Dublin is considered a “low security” prison with 1,235 inmates in Alameda County, about 56 miles from San Francisco.
