Josh Duggar is making headlines once again — and not for anything good. After already serving time behind bars, it’s now been revealed that his prison sentence has been extended yet again. His new release date is now set for December 23, 2032, adding 82 more days to his time — all thanks to multiple disciplinary infractions, including possession of contraband. Sources say Josh has lost a total of 133 days of “good time” due to bad behavior, including at least two cell phone violations, which in federal prison are considered high-severity offenses.
Insiders also report that he may have been involved in a bizarre incident at the facility, where inmates caused a lockdown after tossing a mixture possibly containing urine in the commissary — a stunt that cut off privileges for everyone. Rumors are swirling that Duggar may have been caught again during a massive cell phone shakedown in March 2025, which could explain the recent extension to his sentence. Meanwhile, support from the Duggar family appears to be dwindling. Josh recently told a judge he couldn’t afford an attorney, suggesting Jim Bob has stopped funding his legal battles.
Despite attempts by family-friendly outlets like InTouch to paint Josh as a “model prisoner,” the truth seems far messier. From contraband to disciplinary action and even solitary confinement, Josh Duggar’s time behind bars is anything but clean. And with his good behavior credits vanishing fast, experts say his release could be pushed even further — possibly into 2034 if things continue at this rate.
