DETROIT -- Monday was the last full day of freedom for former chief of staff Christine Beatty before she begins serving a 120-day jail sentence for her role in the Detroit mayoral text message scandal.

Beatty will be sentenced Tuesday morning and immediately begin serving her sentence and five years of probation. Her court hearing is planned for 9 a.m. in front of Judge Timothy Kenny.

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said she will hold a press conference following Beatty's sentencing in the 12th floor conference room of the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice.

Beatty accepted a plea bargain in December for lying under oath about an extramarital affair she was having with Kilpatrick and the firing of whistle-blower police officers.

She pleaded guilty to two felony obstruction of justice charges in September.

She will also have to pay $100,000 in restitution to the city.

Beatty, who is divorced, has two daughters who will be cared for by family during her stay in jail.

Beatty will not have a private cell when she begins her jail term, like former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick does.

Beatty will be housed in the women's ward of the Andrew C. Baird Detention Facility in downtown Detroit.

The Baird facility, also called Jail Division One, is the only one in the county's system that houses women.

Female prisoners are lodged on the fifth and sixth floors of the facility.

Beatty will not have to share a cell but will have access to a common room and a television used by other female prisoners in the ward.

Beatty's pastor, the Rev. Ronald Griffin, was given a tour of a comparable housing unit where Beatty will stay.

This is normal procedure for clergy, Griffin said.

Jail operations chief Jeriel Heard said in a statement that housing Beatty in the unit "makes the most sense and is the most appropriate assignment for her situation."

Beatty's lawyer, Mayer Morganroth, said she had no comment Wednesday on her jail arrangements, but he has some reservations.

"With high-profile people it only takes one person, either jealous or upset, to be a problem," Morganroth told The Associated Press.

Morganroth said he would have preferred Beatty be completely isolated from other prisoners.

After pleading guilty to two felonies in the beginning of December, Beatty held a news conference, during which she apologized to the former mayor's family and the city of Detroit.

"I am extremely sorry to all of the people that were harmed in this ordeal," Beatty said.

The 38-year-old has two daughters, ages 8 and 10, who will be cared for by family and friends.

Kilpatrick was also sentenced to 120-days in jail and will remain there until February.
