Real Housewife star Jen Shaw describing her first thoughts as she arrived in prison in an exclusive interview with People magazine. 
Her first since her December release. 
>> What I would say to somebody that lost money because of this is that I'm sorry for any part that I had. 
>> The Salt Lake City reality star spent nearly 3 years in federal custody after she pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with a multi-million dollar telemarketing fraud scheme while at federal prison camp Bryan in Texas. 
a minimum security facility. 
Shaw says she made friends with another high-profile inmate, Elizabeth Holmes.

She would come over and talk to us and or I would see her if she would, you know, come by recreation. 
But um and honestly, I chose I chose that. 
I chose to have very limited interaction with her. 
Shaw may not be a Bravo reality star again, but says she is looking for a second
