Teresa Giudice, star of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," is finding ways to pass the time in prison. She released excerpts from her prison diary to Us Weekly in which she wrote about prison fights and gross food.
The 43-year-old is currently serving a 15-month prison sentence in the Danbury, Conn., Federal Correction Institute for fraud, reported the New York Daily News. Her journals paint a less severe picture of what life behind bars is really like.
Giudice complained about the food in an entry dated Jan. 26, 21 days into her sentence. "I went to lunch at 10:20. I had tater tots, a soy burger that was so gross and orange! I also had some potato salad," she wrote in the diary, according to Us Weekly. "They feed us so much here. I'm going to have potatoes coming out of my ears pretty soon!"
In an undated February post, she wrote about a prison fight: "There is a lady in here, she hit her roommate. The officers are up here now to evaluate the situation. She is a crazy lady who fights with everyone."
The Daily News reported that Giudice stays in touch with her husband, Joe, and their four daughters via email. She got emotional in a Mar. 17 post, 70 days into her sentence. "I got an email from Gia. She got an award for perseverance," she wrote. "I started crying at the computer. I was so happy for her, and saying to myself, 'That is my daughter.'"
Giudice is expected to to be released into house arrest at the end of the year, according to NJ.com. She plans to publish her prison journal in the form of a memoir.
