20 Reality Stars That Have Landed in Jail

Living life in the spotlight can be extremely difficult for anyone.  However, most celebrities don’t actually want to be famous, they just want to work – and the fame is just something they learn to deal with.  Reality TV stars on the other hand, have signed up to be followed around by camera crews and have their ever move caught on tape.  You’d think these people would behave a little more responsibly as a result, but as many reality stars have shown, they’re going to live however they want to regardless of the cameras.  As a result, almost all of their bad decisions have been documented and published on websites and blogs all across the internet.  Here are 20 reality stars that have landed in jail.
