Jen Shah Released From Prison After Nearly 3 Years for Telemarketing Fraud

Jen Shah is officially out of prison.

The 52-year-old Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star left the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas on Wednesday, December 10. Shah had been behind bars since February 17, 2023, meaning she served just under three years — 2 years, 9 months and 23 days — after being convicted of running a telemarketing fraud scheme.

Her rep confirmed the news to People on December 10. After months of insisting she was innocent, Jen eventually entered a guilty plea in July 2022.

“I am sorry. My actions have hurt innocent people,” the reality star said at her sentencing on January 6, 2023. “I want to apologize by saying, I am doing all I can to earn the funds to pay restitution.”

It’s not entirely clear where she’s headed next. A spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons explained that Jen “transferred on Dec. 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.” Community confinement could mean home detention or a halfway house, but for privacy reasons, her exact location isn’t being disclosed.
