As you’ve probably heard by now, Teresa Giudice is in prison, serving out a 15 month sentence for fraud.

Like all residents of Danbury Correctional Institution, Teresa is required to earn her keep by pitting in work. 

Prisoners can put in requests, but ultimately have little say in what sort of work they’re assigned.

Sources inside the prison report that Teresa was hoping for a kitchen job, but since she’s new, and cafeteria gigs are among the most coveted in the joint, that was a long shot.

Instead, the disgraced reality star has reportedly been assigned to one of the hottest, dirtiest, most unpleasant work details at Danbury – the laundry.

Like most inmates, Teresa will start at 12 cents an hour to start, so pay was never a consideration.

The laundry room was reportedly the last place Teresa wanted to end up, simply because she’s (understandably) disgusted by the thought of handling her fellow inmates’ soiled garments.

“It was definitely not her first choice,” says one insider. “Teresa was unhappy when she found out the assignment because she thinks it’s disgusting work to have to do.”

“She really was hoping they would let her work in the kitchen. She wants to be able to cook for everyone.”

Shockingly, prison officials seemed to not give a crap what Teresa wanted because it’s freaking prison, not college career day. Go figure.
