"Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice is scheduled to report to prison on Monday (Jan. 5) to begin her 15-month sentence. The 42-year-old Bravo star and her husband, Joe Giudice, were indicted on several counts of fraud. Joe will serve 41-months in prison after Teresa's release next year.
According to Nj.com, Teresa will most likely serve her time at the women's Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Conn. This is the same place singer Lauryn Hill served time and where fictional character Piper Kerman, from "Orange is the New Black," served her sentence.
The reality star will reportedly be living in barrack-style housing with cell doors that don't lock. She'll be provided a locker to store her belongings and might be expected to pick up a job like furniture making. According to Nj.com, Teresa will be able to have downtime where she could take piano lessons and learn how to play the guitar.
There will also be exercise classes available like yoga, aerobics and circuit training, or she could pick up a sport like basketball, soccer or volleyball. There have been reports that Teresa and Joe's 13-year-old daughter, Gia, is having a difficult time dealing with everything.
On Saturday she posted a cryptic tweet that read: "can't sleep to (sic) much on my mind." Over the past several weeks, Teresa has been trying to spend as much time as possible with her family. According to reports, she took her four daughters skiing over the Christmas holiday and attended a concert put on by 3KT, Gia's music group.
Bravo has yet to comment on the status of "Real Housewives of New Jersey," which usually tapes in the winter for a summer premiere. There have been rumors that producers wanted to postpone the show until 2016, when Teresa is released.
