While it certainly is nothing like her fabulously beautiful home in New York's Hamptons area, Federal Prison Camp Alderson certainly is a nicely sized estate located in West Virginia. Stewart, who many of us know for those fantastic home-improvement tips she shared with us, probably won't be having any newsworthy parties in her new home, but we're all hoping she'll show us how she'll make over her new prison cell, and I'm especially anxious to see whether or not she'll add a new striped clothing line to her current one. Don't be surprised if the warden gets some fantastic new home fix-up tips. Stewart was unsuccessful in negotiating where she wanted to stay, which was either in a Florida or Conneticut prison facility. We hear those "estates" were too small for someone who likes to live as large as Martha Stewart.
