The fallout from the Tracy Lords scandal was not the end of the troubles for those who faced legal scrutiny.

Despite being given a grueling sentence of 750 hours of community service and three years of probation, the emotional toll was profound. The tales of community service, filled with unorthodox knitting projects intended for children in wheelchairs, illustrate the immense pressure that accompanied their legal battles.
