Teresa Giudice Prison Pics Cost $100K! Release ‘Very Soon’

"Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice has been locked up and the photos from prison are about to be made public - to the tune of $100,000!

Giudice is, according to People Magazine, currently serving a 15-month jail sentence for loan and bankruptcy fraud, and her husband, Joe, will be serving his own 41-month sentence after Teresa completes her time.

According to Radar Online, a family member has snapped a photo of the TV star while in prison, as source saying, "During a recent visit to the prison, a member of Teresa's family snapped three photos of her smiling. In the photos, she is dressed in the light brown prison outfit that she is required to wear. She isn't wearing make-up, either. Her hair looks a little knotted."

However, the photos will raise serious questions, considering that phones and cameras are not allowed in the Danbury Federal Correctional Institution, where Giudice is detained. The source continued, "You cannot take cell phones into the prison, but somehow, this particular family member was able to - and snapped away without guards noticing! You can be assured that the prison and its warden is going to be furious when these images are published! It could have serious consequences for Teresa."

However, the Giudice family managed to get one good thing about the photos. As Radar's source laughingly said, "Leave it to the Giudices to find a way to cash in on Teresa being jailed. The family shopped the images around and one celebrity weekly magazine paid close to $100,000 for them. They'll be released very soon."

However, with all that has been happening with the Giudices, it seems that the $100,000 won't be enough to cover expenses. According to NJ Magazine, the couple's debts have been chronicled, and the house that they were selling has just been taken off the market, even after dropping the price twice - from an asking price of $3.9 million for the six-bedroom home on 3.5 acres of property, to $2.99 million.

Joe is taking care of their daughters while Teresa is serving jail time. Melissa Gorga, who is married to Teresa's brother, spoke about the couple's situation, and it seems that Joe is doing well in terms of being a dad.

ABC News wrote that Gorga was interviewed by Andy Cohen on "Watch What Happens Live" and said about Joe, "He's manning up. He's doing what he has to do." She also added, "I pass him in the morning, and he's driving the girls to school. And I usually pass Teresa every morning."

Teresa, meanwhile, seems to be doing as fine as she can be in prison, Gorga saying of her co-star, "She's doing well. My mother-in-law gives me updates all the time. She's doing really good."
