Locked up in Danbury, Connecticut on a 15-month bid for her role in a mortgage and bankruptcy fraud scheme with her husband, Joe Giudice, Teresa Giudice said, “Thank you everyone for all of the cards, letters, and kind words of support I love, love, love you all xo T!”

Giudice is scheduled to be released in February 2016, two months earlier than she was sentenced. Her husband will begin a 41-month sentence once Giudice is released.
