It's only been a week, but "The Real Housewives of New Jersey's" Teresa Giudice appears to be holding up well behind bars.
"She's doing great," the Bravo reality star's lawyer told People.
"I got a series of emails from her and she is doing phenomenally. It seems like she is getting acclimated very well. She tells me that everybody is nice and everybody is treating her respectfully," her lawyer continued. "She said both the staff and the inmates are being nice to her and that she is getting along fine."
Teresa's lawyer also spoke to E! News explaining that the "Real Housewives" star could get out of prison before the end of 2015.
"When there's 10 percent of her sentence left she will be eligible to serve the remainder via house arrest or a halfway house. So you subtract her 10 percent (which is about a month-and-a- half) from that release date and you have her eligible in December," he said
Teresa also has something to look forward to this weekend.

"She will get her first family visit this weekend," her lawyer told E!, saying that husband Joe Giudice will visit, but he was unsure if all of their four daughters would travel to Danbury, Connecticut, where Teresa is serving her sentence.
Upon completion of Teresa's time behind bars, Joe will begin serving his 41-month sentence. The Bravo stars are parents to Gia, 14, Gabriela, 10, Milania, 8, and Audriana, 5.
