Danny Masterson’s prison schedule revealed — how he will spend the next 3 months

California state prison has been revealed days after his arrival.Masterson — who was sentenced to 30 years to life in September after being convicted of two counts of forcible rape — has started the reception and classification process at North Kern State Prison in Delano, TMZ reported Sunday.Since arriving at the prison on Wednesday, the “That ’70s Show” star, 47, has been placed in a group called privilege group U, which prohibits family visits and access to personal property while limiting entertainment access, according to the outlet.The Post reached out to reps for Masterson and the California Department of Corrections for comment.TMZ reports that Masterson is allowed one phone call his first week at the prison and after that, he is restricted to one call per month as long as he’s in privilege group U.TMZ confirmed Masterson will still have access to the prison yard and recreation services, but he won’t get his full prison privileges until the classification process has ended — it could take up to 90 days.Unidentified sources close to “The Ranch” actor told the outlet that Masterson has shown “exceptional strength of mind and spirit” amid his transfer from the Los Angeles County Jail to the prison last week.He is reportedly feeling hopeful about the appeal he filed in November.Masterson has long maintained his innocence, but he did not testify in the trial proceedings. A jury found Masterson guilty of two of three rape counts in May — both attacks took place in Masterson’s home in 2003.The jury could not reach a verdict on the third rape charge, which was lodged by a former, longtime girlfriend.The three women were members of the Church of Scientology, as is Masterson.

Leah Remini says Scientology forced her to raise money for Tom and Suri Cruise as punishment
new court documents.Remini — who is suing the church for defamation — claims in the court declaration that she was made to “raise money for Scientology causes led by Tom Cruise” after questioning the whereabouts of Shelly Miscavige, the wife of church leader David Miscavige who has not been seen in public in 2007.Additionally, Remini, who was involved in Scientology from 1979 to 2013, alleges in the latest court filing that she was “forced to donate money to name a seat in a Scientology auditorium after Suri Cruise.”The declaration, first reported byTony Ortega of The Underground Bunker, was submitted in response to the church’s legal attempts to have Remini’s lawsuit, filed in August, tossed out of court.“This lawsuit is ludicrous and allegations are pure lunacy,” a Scientology spokeswoman told The Post of Remini’s lawsuit and follow-up declaration. “The Church is not intimidated by Remini’s latest act of blatant harassment and attempt to prevent truthful free speech.”A representative for Cruise did not reply to a request for comment.Remini, who is suing the church for unspecified damages, claims the transgression that led to her alleged punishment began while she was attending Cruise and Katie Holmes’ $2.5 million wedding in 2006 at a castle in Bracciano, Italy.Within Scientology, the ceremony was billed as the “Wedding of the Century,” according to the declaration.

Scientologists fought Tom Cruise prank at ‘Mission: Impossible’ premiere: report
“Mission: Impossible III” to prevent a college prankster from flying “insulting” airplane banners aimed at Tom Cruise and his controversial religion.Documents passed down from a reportedly former top Scientology executive to the Daily Mail include a letter from the church’s “Watchdog Committee” from its “Office of Special Affairs,” ordering someone named “Linda” and the church’s “Director/Commanding Officer in the Office of Special Affairs, International Division” to “find out everything you can about them and let me know at once.”The documents, published Thursday, claim that Stephen “Josh” Schofield, a then-21-year-old University of Central Florida student, raised about $3,500 on the online forum offtopic.com to “sabotage” the movie’s May 4, 2006, premiere at Grauman’s (now TCL) Chinese Theatre.Schofield had hired two airplanes to fly over the theater with banners reading: “The baby belongs to Xenu” — referring to Cruise and his then-partner Katie Holmes’ newborn daughter Suri — and “Hail Xenu (Heart) OT [Off Topic].”Xenu refers to the “galactic overlord” in Scientology’s mythology. Scientology’s chief spokesperson Karin Pouw told the Daily Mail that she had no knowledge of the incident and could not locate any documents.
