You might think that Teresa Giudice being locked up for the next year would effectively remove her from most celebrity gossip conversations, but somehow, the Housewife-turned-inmate is still making headlines.

At first, all we kept hearing is that Teresa is being treated just like everyone else in the big house.

She makes 12 cents an hour doing manual labor, shares a small space with five cellmates, eats awful food, etc.

Now, a report from In Touch makes it sound as though Teresa may have it a little easier on the inside than we initially thought…and it’s rubbing her fellow prisoners the wrong way:

“They don’t like her because the think she gets special treatment,” one insider tells the tabloid. “She’ll get a job in the kitchen when other inmates are told there are no openings. She gets to eat before the main line at lunch and dinner.”

Worse than that, Teresa reportedly received preference in when it comes to the most important thing in a prisoner’s life – visitors:

“Her kids were approved for visits the day she arrived,” the source claims, adding that new inmates have been known to wait months for their guest lists to be approved.

But it’s not all doom and gloom. It turns out Teresa has made a few friends:

“She’s met some women who are acting nice to her, but she knows to watch her back,” the insider claims. “Teresa talks to quite a few women now, mainly the women who teach the exercise classes and her roommates.”

“She was dancing with them the other day and asked them to teach her how to twerk. They thought it was funny.”

And they say prisoners don’t learn anything useful on the inside.
