No one gets "used to" a prison-issued ankle bracelet, says Martha Stewart.

In her first post-prison interview, Stewart opened up to Vanity Fair about her confinement and her upcoming reality TV show, "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart."

"I hate lockdown. It's hideous," she complains. But Stewart, 63, says she knows how to remove her electronic monitoring device. "It's on the Internet. I looked it up."

Last summer, Stewart was found guilty of lying to investigators looking into the ImClone insider trading scandal. After serving a five-month prison term, Stewart is now in the second phase of her sentence: confinement to her house for 120 hours a week until early August. That leaves only 48 hours each week that she can leave home.

But being locked down at her Cantitoe Farm in Bedford, N.Y., she says in Vanity Fair, provides her with less freedom than prison did. There, she says, she had 100 acres to cruise from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. "Here, I can't. And 48 hours is very confining."

Stewart is slimmer after prison, thanks to predawn exercise and yoga, and she's still dropping pounds with a loaner chef from New York's tony Le Cirque restaurant. Much as her Turkey Hill estate in Connecticut was the test grounds for many of her home products, VF says, Stewart is revamping the $15 million, 153-acre Bedford estate into a self-sustaining farm with new color palettes and garden plans.

Stewart reveals little about her upcoming reality show, for which she's being paid $100,000 an episode. One insight: She will not copy Donald Trump's "You're fired!" She's a different kind of mogul, she tells VF. "If somebody comes to me looking for a job, I'm not going to be mean to them. They're trying."
