Misdemeanors only. She could get 2 years but she won't do any time. If she was white, she'd be facing 30 years.

July 29 2023 Carlee Russell appears to be smiling in her police mugshot released on Friday, sparking anger online as the 25-year-old was charged after admitting she'd lied about being kidnapped.
The nursing student from Hoover, Alabama, went missing on July 13, shortly after calling police from Interstate 459 claiming she'd seen a lone toddler walking alongside the road. After 48 hours, Russell reappeared at her parents home claiming she had
been kidnapped, but on Monday
admitted this had been an elaborate hoax.
Russell was charged on Friday with two misdemeanors, false reporting to law enforcement and falsely reporting an incident, and bailed on a $2,000 bond. The Hoover Police Department published a mugshot of Russell, wearing a smart black top and seeming to
smile toward the camera.
