<span style="font-style: italic">Even I thought prison was more than a bit harsh. Life ban and heavy fine, yes, but jail? Did she kill/hurt anyone or lie to a federal authority?</span>

LOL.....

She shouldn't go to prison because it was more of a self-inflicted damage to herself.
But I think she was sent to prison not for the actual crime but for lying and check kiting?
I tried to watch her first outtview online but it was too painful. Worse because of the North Carolina and the Jamaican connection.

Wikipedia

Eddie began jumping under the watchful eye of Chuck Berghorn in Lake Placid, NY, using his equipment though he had to wear six layers of socks to make the boots fit. Edwards was handicapped by his weight - at about 82 kg (181 lb), more than 9 kg (20 lb) heavier than the next heaviest competitor - and by his lack of financial support for training - he was totally self-funded. Another problem was that <span style="font-weight: bold">he was very far sighted, requiring him to wear his glasses at all times, even though when skiing they fogged to such an extent that he could not see</span>. Eddie was informed of his qualification for the Games whilst working as a plasterer and residing temporarily in a Finnish mental hospital due to lack of funds for alternative accommodation (rather than as a patient)

...his lack of success endeared him to people all across the globe. The worse he did, the more popular he became. He subsequently became a media celebrity and appeared on talk shows around the world, appearing on The Tonight Show during the Games. <span style="font-weight: bold">The press nicknamed him &quot;Mr. Magoo&quot;</span>, and one Italian journalist called him a &quot;ski dropper&quot;.
