From Wikipedia:
Pryce was interviewed twice by Essex Police in 2011 over allegations that she had accepted driving licence penalty points incurred by Huhne in 2003 and in 2012 it was announced that Pryce and Huhne would be charged with perverting the course of justice. Pryce entered a plea of not guilty, advancing a defence of marital coercion at trial. In March 2013, she was convicted of perverting the course of justice and was sentenced to eight months in prison, the same as Huhne.
She initially started serving her sentence in HM Prison Holloway. The day following the conviction, Conservative MP David Burrowes wrote to the Attoney General Dominic Grieve, asking him to exercise his power of referral to the Court of Appeal, as in Burrowes' view the sentences were too lenient. Grieve had until 8 April, 28 days after the original sentence, to decide whether to refer the case to the Court of Appeal, which has the power to either increase the sentences or leave them the same.After four days' prisoner assessment, she was moved to HM Prison East Sutton Park, an open prison near Maidstone, Kent.
Price and Huhne were both released from prison on 13 May 2013, subject to electronic tagging. Pryce plans to publish a book based on her prison experience in September 2013. The book, Prisonomics, will analyze the economic and human costs of imprisoning women
As a result of her conviction, she was stripped of her CB.
Stripped of her CB and soon to be given a big fat CBB. :D
