After being transferred from FCI Dublin in California, as of July 2009 she was an inmate at FMC Carswell (Fort Worth, Texas) in the United States with an expected prison sentence expiry date of 7 July 2014. McCorkle remained in a medium-security prison, whereas William J. McCorkle (her ex-husband), had transferred to a low-security "camp" prison the previous year. McCorkle was not eligible for transfer to a lower-security prison because, as a British citizen, she was viewed as a high flight risk.
