It seems like being a real housewife has its perks in jail, as Teresa Giudice appears to be enjoying her time at the federal prison. 

According to New York Daily, a reliable source shared to Confidenti@l that "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star manages to maximize her time at the Danbury Federal Prison by spending it in the kitchen and watching TV shows with her club. 

The reports claimed the reality show star, who was convicted for fraud with her husband Joe, spends most of her time watching her favorite shows like "Empire" and "Scandal" with a couple of other inmates. The source also mentioned that the 42-year-old Giudice managed to land a job in the prison facility kitchen, where she tries to cook anything based on whatever ingredients that she can find in the facility's supplies. 

Also, the source claims that the jail authorities are very much overwhelmed by the amount of fan mails that the jailed Bravo star receives to express their well-wishes. Although Giudice reads all of those letters, the source stated that she does not have enough time to write them back. 

Teresa was sentenced to a 15-month jail time after she and her husband failed to settle the $200,000 obligations in taxes on Oct, 2, 2014, while Joe will have to face a longer jail time after she serves hers.  

Although the "RHONJ" star incurred a lot of sympathizers from fans, some people are reportedly irked with all the attention that Bravo is throwing her way.

"The Real Housewives of New Jersey's" latest additions, Amber Marchese and her husband Jim, are apparently appalled at the way the network and the media portray her present situation. Jim told the NY Daily News that he believes Teresa should not be a part of the show anymore, and that he believes that "glorifying a felon's life is counterproductive, and I don't think it's appropriate." 

Also, the Marchese patriarch said that the show "is about families and dynamics. It isn't about seeing how individuals can work our system, rip off the American people, not pay taxes, and then live a lifestyle that pretty much no one I know has."
