Duggar’s Prison Funds Slashed by Over 90% After Vicious Prank Amid Ongoing Complaints of Maggot-Ridden Food

🚨 Duggar’s Prison Funds Slashed by Over 90% After Vicious Prank Amid Ongoing Complaints of Maggot-Ridden Food

Josh Duggar, the former reality star serving a 151-month sentence at FCI Seagoville in Dallas, Texas, has been directly impacted by a severe restriction on inmate spending, the result of a dangerous prank involving other prisoners. The dramatic cut to commissary funds comes amid ongoing allegations of poor food quality and unsanitary conditions at the federal facility.

Commissary Budget Plummets from $360 to $25

Prisoners at Seagoville, including Duggar (37), typically have a monthly commissary limit of $360 to purchase essential items like food, hygiene products, and over-the-counter medication. However, multiple sources have revealed that this limit has been drastically cut to just $25 a month for half of the institution’s inmates.

• The Cause: The punitive measure was reportedly triggered when one inmate played a “nasty, serious prank” on a prison worker. The incident involved urine and a mixture of unknown chemicals, likely purchased from the commissary, which spilled onto the guard and caused severe burns.
• The Rationale: Insiders claim the budget cut is a temporary investigative measure to prevent inmates from having enough funds to purchase similar chemicals or substances used in the attack. The prison needs to determine which products to restrict to ensure safety. The facility plans to likely compensate inmates for the missing funds after the investigation concludes, as commissary money benefits the prison by generating revenue.

Inmates Forced to Buy Food Amid Maggot Complaints

The timing of the commissary restriction is particularly critical because prisoners at Seagoville have long complained about the quality and quantity of the meals provided by the facility.

• Inhumane Conditions: Multiple sources and a former inmate’s lawsuit allege inhumane conditions, citing complaints of:
  • Half-Portions: Inmates have allegedly received half-portions of food for months, forcing them to rely on the commissary to avoid going hungry.
  • Expired and Contaminated Food: Allegations include food that is “disgustingly expired” and an instance where a batch of cereal was “filled with bugs” (maggots).
• Prison’s Response: In response to previous media inquiries, Seagoville has insisted it provides food consistent with the national menu, including portion size, and takes all complaints seriously. However, a 2024 lawsuit filed by a former inmate detailing complaints about maggots and inadequate food portions was eventually dismissed because the inmate was no longer confined at the facility.

Despite the difficult conditions, Duggar, who is serving his sentence for downloading and possessing child sexual abuse images, was seen in good spirits walking the prison track in December 2024, his first public appearance behind bars in years. His release date is set for October 2032.
