In October 2014, the reality star was sentenced to serve 41 months at Federal Correction Institute, Fort Dix in New Jersey for fraud charges.

Although he’s losing his freedom, Giudice says it won’t be all that bad.

“It’s a military camp is what it is,” he says. “It’s not a high security, and anybody that’s in there is basically people that have already served a lot of time basically working their years to get out. So once you are there if you screw up there, then you go back to high security.”

Now as Giudice prepares to begin his sentence he’s staying positive about the outcome.
