Things just keep getting worse for the Giudice clan.
First, Teresa Giudice went to prison and served nearly a full year on tax fraud charges.
After she was released, it was her husband"s turn.
Joe Giudice is currently behind bars, as a judge allowed the Giudices to serve their sentences back-to-back for the sake of their kids.
