November 24, 2022

Josh Duggar was convicted of two child pornography charges in December 2021. He was later sentenced to more than 12 years behind bars, and in June 2022 Josh was transferred to federal prison in Texas. While Josh spent Christmas 2021 behind bars in an Arkansas detention center, This Thanksgiving will be his first in federal prison.

There’s a special holiday menu at FCI Seagoville

Josh Duggar eats all three meals a day at FCI Seagoville and will do so for the next 10 years or more. Although federal prisons aren’t generally known for their cuisine, they do offer special holiday menus. Inmates, including FCI Seagoville’s Josh Duggar, will enjoy a special lunch Nov. 24.

The prison feast meal is served during lunch. During lunch, inmates will be offered both turkey breast and cooked ham, according to the menu obtained by InTouch. Sides will include a green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, stuffing and rolls. Vegetarian offers are also available. Lunch is complete with dessert. Dessert is generally not part of regular meals in federal correctional institutions.

Later in the day, inmates will have several sandwich options to choose from for dinner. Breakfast, according to the menu, will not deviate from the breakfast served daily in federal prisons.

Josh Duggar’s first Thanksgiving behind bars will also include special activities

There’s more than just one meal to mark the Thanksgiving holiday. According to InTouch, FCI Seagoville inmates will enjoy special Thanksgiving events and activities. Movies and popcorn will be available. According to the publication, there is also a basketball tournament that inmates can choose to enter.

On a normal day, Josh and the other inmates at FCI Seagoville have to stick to a rigid routine. All inmates must be up and have their beds made by 7:15 a.m. During the day, Josh has to do chores and follow strict prison policies. Meals are also served at fixed times and the father of seven has only limited access to telephones and visitors. Detainees must be completely silent at midnight.

It’s impossible to say where Anna Duggar will spend the holidays

While Josh’s Thanksgiving whereabouts are explained, it’s unclear where Anna Duggar, Josh’s wife, will be spending the holidays. Since Josh’s arrest, Anna has remained in Arkansas with the Duggar family, but according to reports, tensions are high between Anna and Josh’s family.

In October 2022, an alleged insider sat down with the Ashley Reality Roundup Group to discuss the dynamics of the Duggar family. The insider claims that Anna hopes to leave Arkansas and move to Texas. Josh would be against the move. According to the insider, Anna’s motivations for the move are twofold. A move would allow her to be closer to Josh and the prison he will spend the next decade in, and it would give her and her seven children some space from the Duggars.

Anna could choose to spend the holidays in Arkansas with the Duggars, or she could choose to visit her own family in Florida. It’s also possible that Anna is staying with her sister, Priscilla Waller, who lives in Texas with her family. No matter where Anna spends her vacation, she is unlikely to advertise it. She’s been mostly absent from social media since Josh’s arrest.
