“Joe has changed a lot since he’s been in prison,” a sourcetold PEOPLEearlier in October. “He’s a lot calmer, and I think the experience has really showed him how important his family is. This is breaking his heart.”
“He didn’t deserve a punishment like this,” the source continued about Joe, whodid not obtain American citizenship. “He’s been here his entire life! He speaks Italian, slightly, but it’s not like he has a whole circle of people over there that he’s bonded with. How is he going to do it?”
