And the food situation was equally gross. This is so not fabulicious: Teresa writes in her memoir that, at one point, maggots were found in the rice served at the prison. Gag.
But she worked in the kitchen. "I had a job in the kitchen. I wiped tables after breakfast, three days a week: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday," she told GMA. Despite earning only 12 cents an hour—her first paycheck was $1.60—she claimed that she "loved" her job.
Teresa witnessed lots of hook-ups during her time in prison. "The ladies were getting it on so much that our room became known as the Boom Boom Room," she wrote in her book.
One person not hooking up while she was away? Her husband, Joe. Teresa addressed rumors of infidelity to People: "No woman has ever come up to me and said that my husband was having an affair with them," she told the magazine. "Joe trusts me, he knows I'm faithful, I know he's faithful, and that's all that matters."
Now that she's out, Teresa is putting all of the legal and financial drama behind her. "[We're not in] foreclosure any longer, thank you, God," she told GMA. "And our restitution's paid off. We're in—thank God—you know, in good shape."
