Jersey Shore<\/em>‘s Vinny Guadagnino<\/strong> and DJ Pauly D<\/a><\/strong>took a brief break from finding their double shot at love<\/a> to share an update on their pal Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Vinny and Pauly D stopped by SiriusXM’s The Jenny McCarthy Show <\/em>and shed some light onto how The Situation is handling his prison sentence<\/a> at the Federal Correctional Institution in Otisville, N.Y. The reality TV star turned himself in on Jan. 15<\/a> to begin his 8-month sentence<\/a>. Despite not being home with his wife Lauren Sorrentino<\/strong> or fellow Jersey Shore <\/em>pals, he’s doing “so good” up in Otisville, which is a male-only, medium security prison.<\/p>\n

Vinny told Jenny McCarthy<\/a><\/strong> that he and Pauly D “talk to [Mike] every day.”  He explained that The Situation is “the exact same” as before and they talk through a special app “and he has a computer room that he can go to throughout the day” to communicate with them.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Situation’s communications are hardly limited to this app program. From what it sounds like, he’s being as social as ever. The Double Shot at Love<\/em> stars talked a bit about who The Situation hangs out with. According to the two friends, one of his prison companions includes Fyre Festival’s disgraced founder<\/a>, Billy McFarland<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

McFarland was charged with wire fraud<\/a> on June 30, 2017 and he was sentenced to six years in prison<\/a> in October 2018. <\/p>\n

McCarthy urged Vinny and Pauly D to tell The Situation to “get as much information as possible about the Fyre Festival.”<\/p>\n

As it turns out, “the guy from the Fyre Festival” isn’t the only big name there. It’s also where President Donald Trump<\/a><\/strong>s former lawyer Michael Cohen<\/strong> will serve his three-year prison sentence<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Vinny added, “He’s in there with the guy that leaked Jennifer Lawrence<\/a><\/strong>‘s nudes that hacked her phone.” McCarthy said she, too, was a victim of a nude photo hacking scandal.<\/span><\/p>\n

The hacker, George Garofano<\/strong>, was sentenced to eight months in prison<\/a> in August 2018. According to Pauly D, the two of them “play Scrabble together.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The radio show host quipped, “Imagine what he’s learning in there!”<\/p>\n

Pauly D joked, “He’s learning how to hack phones!”<\/p>\n

Just like how The Situation was before heading to prison, he seems to be maintaining a glass half-full perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vinny shared, “He sends me such positive vibes. He gets me through my<\/em> day.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Pauly D reaffirmed these thoughts and explained why their friend “is in such good spirits” in prison.<\/span><\/p>\n

“He sees Lauren his wife once a week and he has so much to come home to,” Pauly D said. “He has a job\u2014he’ll be filming\u2014so he just wants to get it over with and do his time.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The DJ continued, “He’s happy.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Fellow Jersey Shore<\/em> star Snooki<\/a><\/strong> had similar words when E! News talked to her at her store, The Snooki Shop, in April. She even likened his stint in prison to that of “a senior home.”<\/p>\n

“He’s playing Bingo, he’s helping people recover in jail,” she said. “We all talk to him through an email, so I talk to him like once a week. He’s in the gym a lot, so he’s probably gonna come out ripped. You know, he’s not gonna be BDS anymore\u2013Big Daddy Sitch\u2013he’s gonna have his, probably, six-pack again. But he’s doing…he’s doing good in there<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Snooki said it seems like The Situation is “having the time of his life in there.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Vinny and Pauly D begged to differ a bit. Vinny said that assertion was “a bit extreme” but Pauly D also painted Otisville not to be a place where he’s stuck in a cell all day.<\/p>\n

“There’s no bars, there’s not that many people,” Pauly D said. “It’s like a vacation from your life.”<\/p>\n

In 2009, Forbes<\/em> dubbed Otisville one of “America’s cushiest prisons<\/a>” and it apparently only takes about an hour to reach by train from New York City.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
