Balloon boy dad Richard Heene was visited by his wife Mayumi for the first time in jail over the weekend, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal.
The infamous reality dad is serving a 30-day stretch at Larimer County Detention Center in Fort Collins, Clorado, for masterminding the elaborate balloon hoax involving his son Falcon.
Heene is sharing a 12 ft by 5ft cell with another inmate among the general prison population at the 557 beds facility which housed over 10,000 inmates each year.

The Detention Center’s Lt Pat McCosh told RadarOnline.com: “I can confirm that Mayumi Heene visited her husband over the weekend.
“Their meeting went smoothly and the general prison population seems to have taken to him - we have had no problems with him.

“There have been no problems with Mr Heene since he entered our jail and we are hopeful it will remain that way.”
Richard Heene, whose flying saucer balloon received national attention when it was thought his six-year-old son was inside, had been sentenced to 30 days in jail and another 60 days on a work release program.
His wife Mayumi received four years probation and was sentenced to 20 days in jail. Their son, Falcon, was in their home while his parents told police and others he was missing, leading everyone to think the child was in the runaway balloon.

The husband and wife have already been hit with a $42,000 bill from local, state and federal agencies for their October stunt when they claimed their six-year-old son had crawled into a hot air balloon in their back yard and been whisked away into the sky.
RadarOnline.com exclusively revealed that Heene could be released six days early from his 30 day jail sentence if he behaves himself while in prison.

We are to blame for this couple. We make celerities out of skanks, sex tape makers et al. You can do nothing and become famous today. Only a matter of time before someone else tried to cash in on it

When he dropped his soap in the shower I hope Bubba had his way with him. Maybe he would get a real job and leave us alone..........

What he does from here on out will show his real colors. Hopefully he has learned his leason; but I'm not holding my breath. Someone that can blatantly lie without blinking an eye needs some serious help.

I think the poor guy learned his lesson even though I think the punishment was bit harsh, he's no threat to anyone, just tried to make a living for his family & went a bit overboard.

I think putting them in jail was the right thing to do. I also think that they got off easy only having to repay $42,500.

Are you effing serious? Yeah okay lets just slap his hands and tell him not to do it again. And while we are on the subject there are honest ways to make a living for your family like say, WORKING!
