Heidi and Martha Posted on Tue, Mar. 08, 2005 Heidi Fleiss' message to Martha Heidi Fleiss knows a thing or two about the indignities of life in federal prison, reports The Sacramento Bee. Scrubbing pots and pans big enough to bathe in. Serving up slop. Mopping dirty floors. Constantly looking over your shoulder, and trying to sleep on a mattress as hard as a surfboard. ''Prison is horrible,'' the former ''Hollywood Madam'' recalled in a telephone interview from her home in Los Angeles. Fleiss, who spent three years behind bars in Dublin, Calif., after her conviction on charges of conspiracy, tax evasion and money laundering, has some advice for Martha Stewart as the domestic diva resumes life on the outside. ''Forget about what happened in prison,'' Fleiss said. ``Put it behind you, move on and work hard.'' Fleiss, whose pricey prostitution ring served Tinseltown's rich and famous, said she admires Stewart. ''I get her magazine, and I send it to my former roommate'' in the federal penitentiary, she said. ``I think she's great, and I think she's going to be just fine. It's so wrong what they did to her, just because she is a powerful woman. But she will come out of this smarter and stronger. Just watch.'' Fleiss spent the first five months of her sentence in a prison camp similar to Alderson Federal Prison Camp in West Virginia, where Stewart completed her sentence. ''But you have to remember that Martha went in with a Betty Crocker label. I went in with the label of a pimp,'' she said.
