Just an FYI, thug or thuggish implies physical violence, which is excluded from the definition of white collar crime.
I don't think it's a big deal for low risk convicts, who are usually the ones who benefit. It's also not the case that they get to choose. They make a request that may or may not be granted.
It's more than just about the personal desires of the convicted. Ease of visitation by innocent family members is also a consideration, as is the lower cost of lower security incarceration.
That said, if she pleaded guilty or not (I don't remember), should have some bearing on the decision.

Rubbish a criminal is a Criminal is a Criminal also- never should we negotiate with criminals; affording criminals blue-collar/white-collar Thug or HOODLUMS alike.
Have you ever considered such leniency prior to this particular woman?

Prosecutors routinely negotiate plea deals with criminals.
Yes, I have considered what you call "leniency" previously, but not in this case. You need to answer the question: Why does the gummint build these facilities, and who should occupy them?
As a former prison administrator the idea of judges deciding what prison an offender is assigned to is ridiculous. They have no idea of the classification systems that determine inmate custody levels and housing.
This is a federal case with an extremely short sentence of two months. I will be surprised if she serves it all. The cost of incarcerating someone in a higher security prison or even transporting her across country would be a silly expense in this case. This is during a pandemic and inmate populations are being hard hit but they get free healthcare. Do we want to pay for her medical bills, too? Putting her under monitored house arrest for 6 months followed by the supervision and the fine would actually make more sense.
