Mayumi has 20 days to serve in jail for her role in the fiasco. She'll serve her time after Richard serves his. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;div class=\"related\"&gt;\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span&gt;More Heene Family&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\n&lt;ul&gt;\n    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2010/01/11/balloon-boy-dad-richard-heene-new-mug-shot-jail-larimer-county-detention-center/\"&gt;Balloon Dad -- Inmate #1279435&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2010/01/11/balloon-dad-richard-heene-outfit-photo-picture/\"&gt;Balloon Dad Floats into Jail &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2009/12/23/balloon-dads-new-reality-jail-richard-heene-balloon-boy/\"&gt;Balloon Dad's New Reality -- Jail &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n&lt;/div&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
