‘Chrisley Knows Best’: Inside Prisons Where Todd & Julie Chrisley Will Serve Sentences
Todd and Julie Chrisley are set to begin with prison sentences on January 17, 2023, as the reality-tv couple will report to two Florida prisons, according to court documents.
As previously reported, the Chrisley Knows Best stars were sentenced to a combined 19 years in federal prison after being found guilty of tax evasion and bank fraud. Todd will serve his 12-year sentence at Federal Prison Camp Pensacola in Florida, while Julie will serve her 7-year sentence 133 miles away at the Federal Correctional Institution in Marianna, Florida.
According to the Bureau of Prisons (BOP), the Pensacola facility is a minimum security prison camp that holds 339 total inmates. It has a total of six inmate-holding facilities, as stated by a 2021 Prison Rape Elimination Act report, and has a Recreation Department that offers intramural sports, weight training and fitness, music, and crafts.
Movies are screened weekly in the camp’s theaters, and inmates can also play racquetball, bocce ball, and horseshoes. The prison also has a well-stocked library, a gym, and a running track.
The Federal Correctional Institution in Marianna, where Julie will serve her sentence, is a medium-security prison with an adjacent minimum-security satellite camp that holds a combined 1,222 inmates. According to a 2021 Prison Rape Elimination Act report, the prison has 25 buildings and houses male and female inmates in seven housing units.
Similar to Todd’s prison, the Marianna facility also offers a recreation program, which includes intramural sports, art, aerobics, music, and other hobby activities.
According to Radar Online, Todd and Julie will be able to stay in contact via letters, emails, and possibly mailing each other packages. However, any mail communication must be “inspected and read by staff at the sending and receiving institutions.”
“If you have to do federal prison time, that’s the place to be,” a prison expert told WonderWall.com about Federal Prison Camp Pensacola.

I think this is a joke,Being punished for breaking the law shouldn’t be considered going to a prison where you’re gonna be treated like you’re at a resort.

Why bother sending them to prison? Why, why, why are we spending money to institutionalize people, to force them to reflect on their behavior? I really enjoyed watching Chrisley Knows Best, now I’m just disgusted!

I would like to see them end the Chrisley Pity Party and take responsibility for their actions. If they would of done that in the first place, their sentences would have most likely been shorter.

I love the Chrisley’s they made me laugh … it takes a lot for a family to put their business out there like they did… to bring laughter and joy to people… I hope they get out sooner… I will be praying for them for a miracle anything is possible with God….

Not defending them but 12 & 7 yrs in prison for these uppity ppl is definitely a punishment. To go from they're normal bougie semi-wealthy lifestyles to a "resort" like prison is still devastating to these ppl. As it should be.
