Josh Duggar was recently convicted of two counts of downloading and possessing child pornography. As a result, he will spend Christmas behind bars while awaiting his conviction. According to The sun, Duggar will be served simple meals as he spends the holidays in isolation.
The publication reported that Duggar would remain in solitary confinement at the Washington County Detention Center in Arkansas over Christmas. One insider pointed out that people in solitary confinement “cannot eat with others.” They continued, “They are served alone in their cell, but they are given the same food as everyone else.” As to what he will eat, a source told the store that inmates will be served “a little something special. It won’t be big, but it will be a little something different.”
While they did not share what the inmates will be eating at Christmas, with a source noting that the menu is not yet full, they did provide an overview of what they ate at the facility. In the days leading up to the holidays, they ate meals such as “oatmeal with butter and sugar, a sausage patty, homemade French fries, bread and margarine”. Drink options are limited, with inmates having the option of having an orange fortified drink and no coffee. The source explained that the other meals included burgers and a casserole of turkey and rice.
In early December, Duggar was convicted of downloading and possessing child pornography. He now faces a sentence of up to 20 years in prison and fines of $ 250,000 on each count. It was later reported that he had been placed in solitary confinement for “security” reasons. A source close to the prison said The sun, âJosh is isolated from the general population. He is alone in a holding cell. We do it for every sex offender. We are holding him separately for his own safety. ”
In the midst of this legal affair, TLC decided to officially cancel the Duggar Family show, Counting on. The network did not give an explicit reason behind the cancellation, but did hint at Duggar’s legal battle in its statement. Their statement read, “TLC will not produce additional seasons of Counting on. TLC believes it is important to give the Duggar family the opportunity to discuss their situation in private. “
