Teresa Giudice to Serve 15-Month Sentence in Orange Is the New Black Prison

Looks like Teresa Giudice's prison wish has been granted.

E! News confirms that the Real Housewives of New Jersey star will spend her 15-month sentence at Danbury prison—the same prison that inspired the wildly popular Netflix series Orange Is the New Black. 

The reality star, who has four young daughters, had previously requested to spend part of her sentence in a halfway house. Her new attorney, Stacy Ann Biancamo, filed a letter to Judge Salas with the Federal Court on Wednesday asking that Teresa's sentencing be reconsidered so she can continue to take care of her children. 

The letter was in response to a government missive, in which the U.S. Attorney said they opposed Teresa spending her sentence at a halfway house. "It was clearly not the court's intention at sentencing in this matter to sentence defendant to serve all or virtually all of her sentence in a halfway house," the letter read. 

Prior to her most recent request, Teresa asked that she serve her sentence in the prison made famous on the series Orange Is the New Black, which is based on a memoir by Piper Kerman, who served a year at the facility.

Judge Salas agreed with the defense and shared her recommendations with the Bureau of Prisons, which ultimately decided that Teresa will serve her sentence at Danbury. Judge Salas also declined to recommend to the Bureau of Prisons that Teresa serve 12 months of her 15 month sentence in a halfway house, although the ultimate decision will be left up to the Bureau of Prison. 

As E! News previously reported, Teresa's request to serve time in the OITNB prison caused her legal crisis manager Wendy Feldman to sever ties with the Bravo star. 

"Sadly, my time with Teresa and has come to an end," Feldman exclusively told E! News. "My client relationships are very important to me, however today's filing regarding Teresa's Bureau of Prisons designation request was not done with my knowledge or input.

"I am not the consultant referred to in filing," she continued. "This is clearly not the first time my advice has not been followed, but this is the time where the stakes are the highest.
 
"My ultimate responsibility is to all of my clients, not just to Teresa," Feldman concluded before adding, "I'm hopeful that, at some point, a change occurs and rehabilitation begins. My thought and wishes will always be with her children."

Giudice was sentenced to 15 months in prison on fraud charges earlier this month, while her husband Joe Giudice received 41 months. She has been ordered to surrender Jan. 5, 2015. Joe's term will not begin until she is released.
