Now that Martha Stewart has emerged from her five-month sabbatical at Alderson Federal Prison Camp looking refreshed and svelte, the spa-going crew is wondering if Martha might be on to something:

"A short stay in a low-security prison could be the new ashram," says Lesley Jane Seymour, the self-professed, constantly stressed editor of Marie Claire magazine.

"You'd get a nice break from the rat race - and you'd really be able to relax because it's probably one of the few places in the world that nobody can reach you," Seymour says.

This takes things to a whole new level. Will the Miraval staff start shackling their guests for that lock-up feel? Maybe Marie Claire could send their interns to Rikers for a week, just to test out this hot new trend.
