Jen Shah has officially been released from prison after serving nearly three years, according to multiple reports. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City alum has been released from prison after beginning her sentence in February 2023, after she pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud back in July 2022.
How to Watch
“We can confirm that Jennifer Shah transferred on December 10, 2025, from the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan to community confinement overseen by the Bureau of Prisons’ (BOP) Phoenix Residential Reentry Management (RRM) Office,” a BOP spokesperson told People. “Community confinement means the inmate is in either home confinement or a Residential Reentry Center (RRC, or halfway house). For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not disclose an individual’s specific location while in community confinement.”

Details on Jen Shah’s prison sentence
Shah’s release on Dec. 10 from Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas, came almost three years after she began her sentence in early 2023, after she was originally sentenced to 78 months (6.5 years) in prison. People reported that Shah’s sentence was reduced multiple times due to good behavior as well as participating in prison programs, per the Bureau of Prisons. She has also been making financial payments after she was previously ordered to pay $6.5 million in restitution.
Back in February 2023, Shah’s attorney, Priya Chaudhry, said in a statement to NBC News that she is ready “to make restitution to those whose lives she has impacted.” She added in the statement, “Jen Shah’s resolve to make her victims whole and to turn her life around is unyielding. She is committed to serving her sentence with courage and purpose, fueled by her desire to make amends for the hurt she has caused and to help others in her new community.”
How Jen Shah is doing as she gets released from prison
More recently, in November, her manager offered an update on Shah as she was preparing for release from prison. “Everyone’s very grateful for the BOP’s decision, especially because it means Jen will be able to reunite with her family for the holidays,” Chris Giovanni said to People at the time. “It’s a gift she doesn’t take for granted.”

Giovanni added, “Jen’s in a really positive, hopeful place mentally. She’s done a lot of reflecting and real growth during her time away, and is genuinely not the same woman as she was before. Her focus is on her family and building a healthier, more grounded life. She understands the seriousness of the mistakes she made and is excited to put this chapter behind her so that she can show everyone the woman she’s worked hard to become.”
