"The Real Housewives of New Jersey" special "Teresa Checks In" is on its second episode, and last Sunday, Joe Giudice revealed that he will be serving his 41-month prison sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix. While talking to his brother-in-law Joe Gorga on the way to Manahawkin, Joe pointed to a sign for Fort Dix and said that that's where he'll be going by the end of March.
According to NJ.com, the Fort Dix federal prison, situated in Burlington County, includes a minimum security prison camp and that the facility houses 4,655 male offenders. Most prisoners reportedly serve an average of 89 months, and the average age in prisoners is 37.
Joe and Teresa pleaded guilty to fraud in 2014. Teresa is currently serving the remainder of her 15-month sentence and the reality star will be released on Dec. 23, which gives the couple about three months to be together before Joe begins his prison sentence sometime in March 2016.
It was also reported that there is a possibility that the father of four may be deported after he is released from prison. In the first episode of the Bravo special, the subject of a possible deportation came up while Joe was talking to the family lawyer, James J. Leonard Jr.
Leonard asked him if he sees the girls and Teresa moving to Italy to be with him in case he gets deported. Joe said that he and his wife talked about it and added that they would.
Apart from getting prison advice from his wife, the 43-year-old also met with an Italian restaurant owner who spent seven years in jail, and the former inmate said that "you gotta worry about what you're going to do when you get out of jail."
In the Bravo specials, Joe does not appear to be bothered by the looming date of his prison sentence, as he has even joked with his eldest daughter, Gia, 14, about his upcoming time in jail.
In a recent interview with E! News, Joe said that there was nothing to be scared about going to jail.
"You just go in, you do your time, and get out," he told E! "Like everybody else does. That's what I'm going to do."
