The Duggar couple has been constantly in the headlines since Joseph Duggar’s arrest on March 18, 2026. Joseph, the seventh sibling of TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting family, was arrested for allegedly engaging in inappropriate sexual conduct with a nine-year-old during a 2020 vacation. The 31-year-old’s wife, Kendra Duggar, was also arrested a day later and was released the same day.
Though Joseph is back with Kendra in Arkansas, the couple is neck deep in debt regarding their respective legal expenses and bail charges. A newly surfaced jail call revealed how the family is scrambling to stay afloat.

Joseph Duggar was first held at the Washington County Detention Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas, after he was arrested on March 18, 2026. He was held there for nine days before being released on March 27 and sent to the Bay County Jail in Panama City, Florida, as part of extradition proceedings. Kendra and Joseph had multiple exchanges via call when the latter was in behind bars, and some of them are surfacing now after his relase.
