Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino Prison Photo Of Jersey Shore Cast

Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is showing what life is like behind "bars" this week: He's getting visits from his co-workers.

And one of his fellow "Jersey Shore" cast members says he's having the "time of his life," playing bingo and helping others who may be stuggling through jail time, said Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.

"The Comeback Is Always Greater Than The Setback," he wrote next to the photo at the Federal Correctional Institution in Otisville, NY.

Here is the photo:

Sorrentino, 36, and his brother Marc Sorrentino, 38, pleaded guilty to one count each of tax evasion in January 2018 before U.S. District Judge Susan D. Wigenton. Mike Sorrentino admitted taking certain actions to conceal some of his income to avoid paying the full amount of taxes he owed, including receiving payments in cash.

He also admitted to making cash into bank accounts in amounts less than $10,000 each so that these deposits would not come to the attention of the IRS, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito said.

Wigenton sentenced both in October. In addition to the prison term, Mike Sorrentino was sentenced to two years of supervised release, 500 hours of community service, $123,000 in restitution (which has already been paid) and fined $10,000.

Marc Sorrentino, who admitted to underreporting his personal income in 2011, 2012 and 2013, was sentenced to two years in prison, one year of supervised release, and fined $7,500, with restitution to be determined at a later date.

Sorrentino, a 2000 graduate of Manalapan High School, has been part of the cast of "Jersey Shore Family Vacation," the revival of the MTV show that followed the antics of the group of 20-somethings through successive summer vacations in Seaside Heights.

In October, he was joined in Newark by his castmates, including Polizzi, Jenni "JWoww" Farley, Paul "Pauly D" Delvecchio, Deena Cortese, Vinny Guadagnino and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, according to a PIX11 report.

Sorrentino and his brother initially were indicted in in September 2014 on charges of tax evasion and falsifying records, as authorities alleged they created businesses including Situation Nation Inc., to "take advantage of Michael Sorrentino's celebrity status," according to documents filed in the case.
