RHOSLC’s Jen Shah Seen in Rare Sighting From Prison

by

Jen Shah is serving her time. 

I was really surprised to see recent photos of Jen Shah! After starting her long prison sentence for wire fraud over two years ago, pictures surfaced of her walking around the prison yard in Texas with another inmate. It’s just…a lot to process, seeing her like that.

On November 17th, a photo showed Jen leaving Bryan Federal Prison Camp in Texas. She was wearing a standard prison outfit – a beige, short-sleeved button-down shirt and pants – and carrying a large cardboard box. Another woman, also in a prison uniform, helped her carry the box across the lawn to a trash area.

Even though Jen had to wear the standard prison uniform, she managed to personalize her appearance. An eyewitness reported that the 52-year-old was also allowed to wear earrings, her wedding ring, and a watch provided by the prison while she worked.

Jen started a six-year prison sentence in February 2023 after being found guilty of helping to commit wire fraud and money laundering. These crimes were connected to her involvement in a large, nationwide telemarketing scam.

The woman, who admitted guilt to her crimes in 2022, has had her expected release date moved forward several times. Records show she’s now likely to be released by August 2026, and possibly even earlier.

Although Jen Shah has generally kept a low profile during her imprisonment, she previously spoke openly about the lessons she learned in her first year in jail. She shares two sons, 31-year-old Sharrieff Jr. and 19-year-old Omar, with her husband, Sharrief Shah.

Jen shared with People magazine in 2024 that she hadn’t seen her family in a year. She described her sadness as constant and overwhelming, but also said that going through this difficult time has made her more humble, grateful, and brave.

Jen’s experience has also helped her understand that others face difficult challenges. She realized that when she first arrived at FPC Bryan, she thought her own problems were the worst, but she now sees things differently.

She realized many of the women around her were facing much more difficult challenges than she was, and she was deeply inspired by their strength and ability to persevere. It was a humbling experience.
