Background
In March 2014, Giudice and her husband Joe entered a guilty plea to 41 counts of fraud, following a deal struck with federal prosecutors. The couple was accused of engaging in bank, mail, wire, and bankruptcy fraud, which allegedly saw them net over $5 million over a 10-year period. On October 2, 2014, Teresa was sentenced to 15 months in a federal prison; Joe was sentenced to 41 months, followed by potential deportation to Italy. Together, the couple must also pay $414,000 in restitution. Teresa and Joe are allowed to serve their sentences separately, so one parent may stay with their children. Teresa began her sentence first, on January 5, 2015. She surrendered herself to the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut.[3][4] Giudice was released on December 23, 2015.[5]
In November 2015, it was announced Giudice would release a memoir about her time in prison and also on her life.[6][7]
Release
The memoir was released on February 9, 2016, in hardcover and digital book format.[8] The novel was published in paperback on July 5, 2016.[9]
