It was easy for Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino to make friends at the “Jersey Shore,” and prison was no different. The reality star buddied up with famous faces during his time in behind bars. It wasn’t a coincidence; the Federal Correctional Institution, Otisville in New York — where Sorrentino did his time – is reported to be one of the cushiest prisons in the U.S., per Forbes. Many high-profile inmates with low-security threats spend their sentences there.
While in prison, Sorrentino’s “Jersey Shore” castmates, Vinny Guadagnino and Paul DelVecchio – better known as Pauly D – revealed on “The Jenny McCarthy Show,” exactly who he was hanging out with while he was in jail. Guadagnino shared, “He’s in there with the guy [Billy McFarland] from the Fyre Festival. And he’s in there with the guy that leaked Jennifer Lawrence’s nudes, that hacked her phone.” According to DelVecchio, the unnamed hacker played Scrabble alongside Sorrentino.

McCarthy suggested that they tell Sorrentino to get as much information about Fyre Festival, so he can write a book about what happened. Guadagnino said, “Imagine what he’s learning in there from all these guys.” Of course, in true “Pauly D” fashion, DelVecchio joked, “He’s learning how to hack phones.” That may not have been the case, but Sorrentino definitely had other notable individuals alongside him during his time in jail.
