NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Prison officials will be monitoring carefully to make sure future inmate Martha Stewart isn't trying to conduct business when she has visitors, according to a published report.

Officials at Alderson Federal Prison Camp will be watching to make sure Martha Stewart doesn't conduct business during her five month sentence there.

The New York Daily News reported Thursday that officials at Alderson Federal Prison Camp, where Stewart is set to begin serving a five-month sentence sometime before 2 p.m. Friday, monitor all mail and phone conversations to make sure that prisoners don't violate rules about conducting business while in prison.

Traci Billingsley, a Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman, conceded that it is more difficult to tell if a prisoner is conducting business with visitors, although she told the paper that prison officials have "other intelligence mechanisms in place to see if business is being conducted."

An inmate who violates the rule against doing business while behind bars, is subject to such discipline as loss of phone privileges or restrictions on commissary purchases, according to the report.

But she is still the majority shareholder for the company and she retains the title chief editorial and media director, even though she will be prohibited from conducting business while serving her sentence.
