Josh Duggar Sentenced: Where Will He Serve Time?
Former TLC star Josh Duggar has been sentenced in his child pornography case. But in which federal prison will he be serving his time? Keep reading to get all of the details.
The 19 Kids & Counting star was arrested in the spring of 2021 after a raid at his car lot. He went to trial in November and was found guilty of two child pornography charges in December. He has maintained his innocence this whole time, and his wife Anna reportedly believes he’s innocent as well.
Now, his fate has been determined. How much time will he spend behind bars, and where will he be serving his sentence?
Josh Duggar is sentenced to 151 months behind bars.
On Wednesday, May 25, Josh had his sentencing hearing in Arkansas. Several members of his family, including his father Jim Bob, his wife Anna, and some of his siblings, Jason, Joy-Anna, and James, were present.
Josh Duggar was sentenced to 151 months in prison, which is roughly 12-and-a-half months, according to KNWA reporter Anna Darling.
The eldest Duggar son is currently 34 years so he will be around 46 when he gets out of prison after serving his time. He and his wife have seven children. Their oldest is 12 years old and their youngest is six months old.

Where will he serve his time?
At this point, it has not been decided where Josh Duggar will serve his time. According to The Sun, Josh may serve his time in Seagoville, Texas, or Texarkana, Arkansas.
The Duggar family has lived in Tontitown, Arkansas for years. There are about 240 miles between Texarkana and Tontitown.
Judge Brooks pointed out that the Seagoville facility has a good s*x offender program. However, whether he goes to that prison will depend on how much space there is. The Sun notes that the judge will recommend treatment for Josh, but it is not required.
We will have to wait and see where Josh Duggar ends up serving his sentence. It’s unclear when these details will become available. But we will continue to keep you updated on the situation.
