She's hoping for a quick in-and-out.
Notorious Hockey Mom Madam Anna Gristina turned herself in this morning for what is basically a show sentencing to six months jail.
With time served and good behavior factored in, Gristina should be sprung before lunch, court officials and her lawyer agree. But that's only if -- and it's a big if -- federal immigration officials don't storm in and put a hold on her, as her lawyer said he fears is a possibility.
Gristina, a native Scotswoman who is a citizen of the UK, had pleaded guilty in September to felony promoting prostitution for running a $2,000-an-hour escort service prosecutors claimed made her millions over the past 15 years.

Anna Gristina.
"Anna Gristina was a pimp," one law enforcement source noted. "It doesn't matter if you're a soccer mom; if you rent women's bodies for profit, you're a pimp."
And while that's not technically a crime of moral turpitude -- subject to immediate deportation, it is what's called an aggravated felony, subject to possible deportation.
"We expect her to be back out within the hour," defense lawyer Norm Pattis told The Post at 10:30 this morning. "But we will find out in that time whether she really gets out. The Feds could swoop in to invite her to leave the country," he said, adding, "though we've had no indication so far that they want to do that."
Gristina's sentence, executed by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, exonerates her $200,000 bail and also includes a five year probation stint.
Given the chance to speak before the cuffs went on for however long, Gristina hesitated, then conferred at the defense table with her lawyer.
After a long pause, Gristina -- a font of insider information on the highest echelon of the city's sex trade, and with many axes to grind given that three of her own employees had cooperated against her and no one among her black book of wealthy businessmen and entertainment executives came to bail her out during her four-month stint at Rikers -- leaned into the microphone.
"It's probably better, your honor," she told the judge, "that I don't."
