Inside Joseph Duggar’s Lonely ‘Solitary’ Hell — Disgraced TV Star Is ‘Reading the Bible’ but ‘Not Sleeping Great’
Joseph Duggar is all alone in jail, RadarOnline.com can report, as the reality star is being kept in isolated confinement for his own safety.
The 19 Kids and Counting star has seemingly been abandoned by much of his family and has been visited only by his attorney while behind bars.
Josh Under Constant Watch
Duggar was arrested on Wednesday, March 18 in Arkansas for allegedly molesting a child during a family vacation to Florida’s panhandle back in 2020.
Almost immediately, the 31-year-old was isolated and allowed absolutely no access to other inmates for his own safety due to his high-profile case.
He has been kept under constant watch, with guards said to be checking on him hourly to make sure he doesn’t try to hurt himself as well.
The disgraced Duggar didn’t even get to reunite with his wife, Kendra, when she was booked in the same jail on her child endangerment charges.
Josh’s Solitary Day
While Kendra has bonded out, Joseph remains alone, as he revealed to his wife during a jail-line recorded phone call on March 20.
“I’m in solitary,” he confessed, telling Kendra that he spends “23 hours of the day” in “an 8-by-10 area” at the facility.
“Pretty small area, but I’ve been able to read a lot actually, and resting some, but I’m not sleeping great through the night,” he continued.
He did reveal that he has some comfort reading while he waits.
“I’ve been spending a lot of time reading, uh, reading the Bible, they got me a Bible in here,” Joseph told his wife, trying to “keep his spirits up” by telling her, “reading the Bible has really been helpful and calming to think about all the situation – situations.”
Kendra offered to get him some more reading material, but the line went dead, as Joseph’s allotted phone call time was likely up.
