The arrest and subsequent imprisonment of Jen Shah after her fraud came to light was the topic of debate for weeks on the Internet. The former Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star has served at the Bryan Federal Prison Camp since February 2023, but her initial sentence of six and a half years has repeatedly been reduced over the last few years.
The reality television personality’s sentence has now been confirmed to be reduced yet again. Jen, who accepted being guilty of fraud, will return to her home and her life outside the prison bars sooner than she anticipated when she was found guilty of her crimes. Here’s what we know about it.
Has Jen Shah’s Prison Sentence Been Reduced Again?
According to Page Six, the 51-year-old is now set to be released from the prison camp on November 3, 2026, based on data obtained from the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate database. This marks the third time Jen’s prison sentence has been reduced based on her conduct and behavior. For the unversed, she was sentenced to jail in January 2023.
She initially pleaded not guilty but later apologized for her crimes and accepted that she defrauded people using a telemarketing scheme, many of whom were “elderly and vulnerable” citizens. The decade-long wire fraud plan included “offering services with little to no value using interstate telephones and emails,” as revealed by the RHOSLC alum herself.
“I knew many of the purchasers were over the age of 55. I am so sorry,” Jen said then, accepting that she knew it was illegal and immoral. Her sentence began in February 2023, and she reported to the prison to serve the time after the January ruling. A month later, her sentence was reduced by a year through behavior and anger management courses.

Her representative revealed that she is committed to “making her victims whole” and has initiated payments toward her restitution. They also conveyed how she was working through the sentence by involving herself in journaling, audio lessons, and weekly group sessions. In October 2024, Jen’s prison sentence was reduced again by eight months.
The latest and third reduction has led to the socialite returning home with her family in time for Thanksgiving 2026. She was a leading cast member for all three seasons of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City before her sentencing and imprisonment. Since then, two more seasons have officially aired, with the recent fifth one about to wrap up, and filming for the sixth will start sometime later this year.
