"Teresa is no longer subject to the parameters of home confinement. She is now free in all aspects from the custodial portion of her sentence. Teresa is very happy about house arrest being over and will spend tonight out to dinner with her family," he added.
As previously reported, Giudice was released from prison on December 23, 2015 after spending 11 months behind bars at Danbury Federal Correctional Institution in Connecticut on fraud charges. She then served house arrest, but was still able to do a few things outside of the home like grocery shopping and working out. Her husband Joe Giudice, who also pled guilty to tax fraud, will start 3.5-year prison sentence this Spring.
