Teresa Giudice Serving Time In Prison Facility Renowned For Having ‘Secret Lesbian Culture’

Teresa Giudice may not be having the easiest time settling into her new life in prison, after all, going from a huge mansion to a tiny jail cell would be a difficult transition for anyone.

But according to the latest reports from Radar Online, the RHONJ star has more to worry about than just prison chores and bullying, a whole lot more.

A former inmate at the federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut, where Teresa Giudice is serving her sentence, Beatrice Codianni, told the publication that, on top of everything else, the Danbury facility is renowned for having a taboo and “secret lesbian culture.”

As Codianni revealed.

“Women get involved with other women there and it is extremely forbidden, There are some women who are lesbians on the street and they come into the prison and they are still lesbians. However, there are some women that come in and straight and get involved with women because they are seeking the companionship and the tenderness. This is what we call ‘gay for the stay’ and it happens quite frequently.”

Codianni should know, as she spent 14 years at the facility on charges of racketeering and said that while she personally “was never forced into gay acts,” she is sure it happens all the time, “If someone suspects you might be gay they might try and test the waters. I have seen women get in fights over jealousy issues.”

Nevertheless, whatever does go on behind closed cell doors, it goes on privately, as being a lesbian is condemned by the prison, according to Codianni,

“It has to be a secret when women get involved with other women inside Danbury. It is a code 205, which is engaging with people of the same sex. It is extremely forbidden. Some women would go into the showers and you have to keep your love silenced because of the consequences.”

And what are those consequences?

According to the former inmate.

“The consequences if you got caught in a lesbian relationship were very harsh. You could lose rights to have visitors and, in almost every case, they would break the couples up so that they would no longer be able to see each other.”

The prison’s handbook even stipulates, in no uncertain terms, “Inappropriate sexual behavior towards staff and other inmates will not be tolerated … defined as verbal or physical conduct perceived as a sexual proposal, act, or threat.”

While it remains to be seen whether or not an inmate makes a pass at Teresa Giudice, it is something she needs to be mindful of, as it is known to be a common thing at Danbury.
