Teresa Guidice To Serve Time In "Orange Is The New Black's" Prison Camp
Teresa Giudice will be serving her 15 month jail time at the Danbury, Connecticut prison camp. Ironically, this is also where the series "Orange Is the New Black" is based on.
According to the Associated Press,the reality star made a request earlier this week that the Court grant her to serve most of her sentence at a halfway house instead. The "Real Housewives of New Jersey" thinks that if she serves her time there, she could be given the allowance to work as well as visit her home during the weekend. On October 22, however, this request was denied by a federal judge. The judge said that the request was not made at the right time.
This is not the first time that Teresa Guidice has been accused of not following schedules and procedures. As reported by Us Weekly, Teresa's crisis manager, Wendy Feldman, decided to leave her high profile client and severe their contract on Monday, October 20, because the reality star is not following due process in her representations to the Bureau of Prisons.
The mother of four daughters, 42, was given a sentence of 15 months in prison for bankruptcy fraud as well as conspiracy with her husband Joe Giudice, who received a sentence of 41 months. The two conspired to hid their assets from bankruptcy creditors and filed for phony loan applications so that they can have $5 million in mortgages and construction loans. Joe, in particular, did not pay taxes amounting to $200,000 so his sentence is much longer.
Teresa would be reporting to prison camp facility when the new year opens, on January 5, 2015, to be exact. Teresa will be assigned to a prison camp facility in Danbury, Connecticut, where singer Lauryn Hill served time as well and got released from on Oct. 3, 2013. The court had decided to leniency by making sure that the couple will not serve their sentences at the same time. Rather, they will be serving their sentences concurrently so that the four daughters will not lose both their parents.
The prison camp is the inspiration behind "Orange is the New Black," hit Netflix series largely inspired by the memoir of Piper Kerman, who also served a year at the facility.
