Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, who was released from prison last month after serving eight months for tax evasion, offered a glimpse of his federal prison life on the It's Happening With Snooki & Joey podcast. "I think it would be more like Orange Is the New Black than anything else," he says. "There wasn't anything crazy going on but it had that hierarchy of like a high school, like clicks. If I would have come in and people didn't like me, it wouldn't have been good. They liked me as soon as they got in. They really loved me and I lucked out. I was very grateful. I was able to put whatever channel I wanted at anytime and people left me alone."
