Duggar News: Did Josh Duggar’s Family Send Money To Him In Jail?
Several sources told the Duggar News followers in the past about how Josh was basically “guilting” Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar to send him to prison. Yes, you read that right. Apparently, an insider revealed that Jim and Michelle were “sick with worry” because Josh was demanding money from them for all his expensive creams and bath supplies.
He allegedly was blowing off Jim and Michelle’s money on magazines, books, and other comfort items. Hence, it seems that Josh was actually looting his parents from jail, and some speculations claimed that he was doing the same with his wife as well. Apparently, there is a fair chance that Anna Duggar was also part of this loop, and she was also liable to pay her husband.
Duggar News: Josh Claims He Is BROKE Behind Bars! Is This True?
Duggar News followers were in disbelief when Josh Duggar recently filed new paperwork in the court after having several failed attempts. But this time, he revealed his current financial condition as well. The disgraced celeb claimed that as of April 2025, he just had $0.22 in his account. But that’s not all. He further told the court that he had a debt of $0.02.
As per Josh, he is unemployed in prison, and there is no way he was getting any kind of money from anywhere. Moreover, he claimed that, despite having no other source of income, he also had no savings, property, or assets. Hence, Josh wanted to prove that he was in with empty hands behind bars.
Josh’s court papers claimed that the “Movant” doesn’t receive any pay or compensation even after he performs prison assignments. Hence, he had no kind of employment income to report in court. He further claimed that he “occasionally” received money from his family and friends, but it wasn’t on a regular basis. His court papers noted, “But not during the reporting time for this request.”
Josh further tried to prove that his commissary use is really “limited.” This is because his balance has $0. Hence, he claimed that he is in debt because of his “legal restitution and fines” from the former proceedings. Josh further told the court that he was unable to pay the costs of the proceedings and demanded that he was “entitled to relief.” What do you think?
