Martha Stewart walked out of federal prison in the middle of the night and then waved goodbye to media and cheering onlookers before flying home on a private jet. In a statement posted on her website, Stewart said, “The experience of the last five months in Alderson, West Virginia has been life altering and life affirming.” She continued, “Someday, I hope to have the chance to talk more about all that has happened, the extraordinary people I have met here and all that I have learned.” She will spend the next five months on home confinement at her massive New York estate.
