Amy Locane opened up about life after prison and the first thing she did when she got out in a rare interview with US Weekly. The Melrose Place star spoke about her second stint in prison about four months after her release. The 53-year-old served a combined six-and-a-half years in prison for a DWI car crash in 2020 that killed a 60-year-old woman and severely injured the woman’s husband. She was convicted of second-degree vehicular homicide and assault by automobile, first incarcerated from 2013 to 2015, and then locked up again from 2020 to 2024 when it was determined that her initial sentence was too lenient. The actress shared that the first thing she did when her mother picked her up from prison in December 2024 was grab coffee. “My mom picked me up, and we went to Dunkin’ Donuts,” she recalled. “When you’re inside, you are so deprived. To have coffee with a real creamer is a huge treat.” The pair also went grocery shopping after her release. Reflecting on her life now after prison, she admitted: “It feels very raw to be back in society. I’m looking at the world with fresh eyes.” Locane served her time at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women located in Union Township, New Jersey. In addition to playing Sandy Louise Harling on the first season of Melrose Place in 1992, Locane also had supporting roles in the films Cry-Baby, School Ties, and Airheads.
