However, Senser's attorney, Eric Nelson, said Senser told him when she arrived, "she got an incredible reception," the KAAL report said.
"Her biggest concern is that she has to wear long-sleeve shirts and tennis shoes," rather than enjoying the outdoors in a t-shirt," he added.

The prison's setup is similar to that of a community college, with different buildings and groups of inmates moving between buildings several times a day.
According to sentencing guidelines, Senser will spend two-thirds of her 41-month sentence in prison and spend the remaining time on supervised release.
