‘GAY FOR THE STAY’ – YES, BUT MAGGOT-FILLED MEALS – NO

Reality TV star Teresa Giudice has co-authored a book about her one-year confinement in a federal prison, revealing that lesbian lovemaking was rampant and that inmates were served ‘maggot-filled’ meals

Teresa Giudice, a star in The Real Housewives of New Jersey reality TV series, was convicted together with her husband of conspiracy and bankruptcy fraud charges. She spent one-year as an inmate at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut. Giudice, together with co-author K.C. Baker, wrote a book about her experiences at FCI Danbury.

In the book, “Turning The Tables: From Housewife to Inmate and Back Again,” Giudice, 43, describes how horrified she was at being ordered to open her mouth and cough while standing naked during strip searches. She revealed that lesbian lovemaking was rampant throughout the prison. And she claimed that inmates were served ‘maggot-filled’ meals.

I’ve made several visits to the California Institution for Women (CIW) for the purpose of interviewing inmates for information concerning various criminal investigations. During those visits I personally observed inmates having lesbian sex right out in the open. When I sked the warden why they allowed this, she replied that by allowing lesbian lovemaking, they were less likely to have a restive inmate population.

So Giudice’s revelation of lesbian sex at FCI Danbury came as no surprise to me.

In her book, Giudice talks about straight inmates who became “gay for the stay” behind bars. Within the correctional community that is common knowledge.

I’ve also interviewed former women prisoners from California, Florida and Texas, and in each case they said that although they were straight, while in prison they engaged in lesbian sex. Some of them also said they were bisexual since their release, while others said they remained strictly straight on the outside.

But maggot-filled meals? There is no surer way to start an inmate riot than by serving them lousy meals. And meals couldn’t get any lousier than maggot-filled meals!

I’ve also been to a couple of federal prisons. I’ve made about a dozen field trips with my students to the federal lockup in Bastrop, Texas. I’ve seen and eaten the same meals served to FCI Bastrop inmates, meals that were prepared in a spotless kitchen. I can assure everyone that under no circumstances will there be any maggots in meals served to federal inmates.

Giudice is flat-out lying when she says that inmates at FCI Danbury were fed maggot-filled meals.
