IN THE VIDEO PLAYER ON THE RIGHT, CHERYL CHODON REPORTS ON BEATTY'S FIRST NIGHT IN JAIL; ALSO, MICHAEL ROSENFIELD ON WHAT JAIL LIFE WILL BE LIKE BEHIND BARS

Following her sentencing, she was escorted through an underground tunnel that links the Wayne County Courthouse to the Wayne County Jail.

Beatty will spend the next four months behind bars.

When she arrived at the jail she was booked, fingerprinted, underwent a mental health screening and was taken to her cell.

On the menu for lunch was breaded fish, macaroni and cheese, two slices of wheat bread, lemon jello with carrots, an apple and fruit punch.

On the menu for dinner is vegetable beef stew, salad, a buttermilk biscuit, chocolate cake and fruit punch.

Beatty will have no contact with Kwame Kilpatrick. She will have interaction with other general population inmates, but has her own jail cell.

She will be allowed to have visitors on Monday mornings and Tuesday nights.

It is unclear if her children will be able to visit. Typically children are not allowed inside but exceptions can be made.
