'Real Housewives Of New Jersey' Cast: Why Hasn't Teresa Giudice Visited Joe In Prison Yet? [VIDEO]
We now know how Joe Giudice, husband of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice, is doing behind bars just a few weeks after he checked in to the New Jersey Fort Dixon facility. But why hasn’t Teresa gone to visit him yet?
“Joe has been adjusting to life behind bars and getting along with other inmates,” one insider told In Touch Weekly Wednesday. “He has been keeping to himself and keeping a very low profile. Getting a job with the maintenance crew was exactly what Joe wanted because of his background in construction.”
Interestingly enough, some of his family has already gone to visit him. But his wife Teresa hasn’t been able to do so yet.
“Joe has received visits from his mom, brother and sister. [His wife] Teresa Giudice hasn’t been approved to visit yet because of her criminal conviction,” the insider added. “But [she] is expecting to get word any day that she has been put on Joe’s list.”
Teresa and Joe both pleaded guilty to several fraud charges back in 2014. While Teresa was handed 15 months in prison, she only served about 11 before going on house arrest for roughly two months. As for Joe, he was given a much harsher sentence of 41 months. He is also said to be at risk of being deported back to his home country of Italy. He began his sentence on March 23 and could be released within 35 months if he has good behavior.
The insider also said that Joe was not drunk when he surrendered at the facility. But he did have a drink.
