‘Subway guy’ Jared Fogle has gone from hawking sandwiches on TV to making them in prison — and now he’s broke, too

Disgraced Subway pitchman Jared Fogle has gone from hawking sandwiches on TV to making them in prison — and the convicted sex offender still has nearly five years left in his sentence.

Fogle, now 46, has been locked up at FCI Englewood, a minimum-security federal prison outside Littleton, Colorado, since 2016 after admitting to soliciting a minor for sex and keeping a trove of child porn.

When he first arrived at the facility, he was assigned to kitchen duty, where he made and distributed lunches to the other inmates.

“It was sort of a joke,” says former inmate Pat Gannon, who was incarcerated at the facility until 2021. “The Subway guy handing out grilled cheeses. We used to laugh about it.”

In the past 8 years, Fogle has worked a variety of different jobs, including janitorial and groundskeeping work. But most recently, the Post has learned, Fogle has returned to his kitchen duty job.

According to FCI Englewood’s Inmate Admission and Orientation Handbook, the kitchen begins serving breakfast at 6:00 a.m. Lunch is available at various midday shifts, and dinner is served after the 4:00 p.m. headcount of all inmates.

Fogle was the pitchman for a wildly successful ad campaign for Subway after he revealed a 245-lb weight loss by eating sandwiches for nearly every meal. He made millions of dollars in personal appearances and endorsements.

But in 2015, authorities received a tip that the pervy pitchman was involved in the sexual exploitation of minors.

Cops raided Fogle’s home, and found some 400 child-porn videos in his possession. According to prosecutors, he often solicited escorts to “provide him with access to minors as young as 14 to 15 years.”

Fogle pleaded guilty in August 2015 to a child pornography charge and paying for sex with an underage girl after traveling from Indiana to New York City. He was sentenced to 15 years and 8 months in prison.

In a 2021 handwritten letter obtained by the Post, Fogle acknowledged that he was solely responsible for his incarceration.

“I really royally screwed up to wind up where I am,” the father of two wrote. “I was selfish and entitled… All I can do is learn from my mistakes to be a better man when I get released in a few years.”

For now, Fogle is indigent, spending less than $300 a month in the prison commissary. He is no longer represented by his expensive legal team. He spends most of his time watching TV, writing letters, or sending emails through the prison’s messaging system, according to former inmates at the prison.

Fogle has repeatedly fought to have his sentence reduced, but has always failed.

He must serve at least 85 percent of his term. The earliest he can walk is March 24, 2029, according to Federal Bureau of Prisons records.

He will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
