Though it may have a lighthearted nickname, Martha Stewart's prison experience was far from easy.

One of the most distressing moments she recounted was a 24-hour stint in solitary confinement due to a minor incident, as per Marca.

“I was dragged into solitary for touching an officer,” Stewart recalled in the documentary.

“No food or water for a day. This was Camp Cupcake, remember? That was the nickname. Camp Cupcake. It was not a cupcake.”
