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. 
>> Lizzie and I are are good friends. 
>> Also at the same facility, convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell, who Shaw says received concerning treatment. 
Shaw telling people that Maxwell was treated very well and was afforded things in prison that nobody else was afforded, like private workout sessions, special meals, bottled water. 
Maxwell's attorney did not immediately respond to NBC News request for comment. 
We asked the Bureau of Prisons about Shaw's allegations. 
It disputed them, saying in part, "Staff are required to treat all inmates equitably in accordance with law, policy, and institutional security and safety protocols." 
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
