Todd & Julie Chrisley Report to Begin Their Prison Sentences
Todd and Julie Chrisley are reporting to prison to begin serving their long-term sentences.
According to TMZ, the couple turned themselves over for lockup at two separate locations. Todd reportedly arrived at FPC Pensacola in Florida to start his 12-year stint at the minimum security prison camp. Meanwhile, his wife Julie arrived at the Lexington, Kentucky, located federal prison known as Federal Medical Center Lexington.
The reality stars who previously featured in USA Network’s Chrisley Knows Best were sentenced at the end of November 2022, learning Todd would serve 12 years and Julie would be locked-up for seven years. In addition to their prison time, Julie and Todd will each serve 16 months of probation following the case where a jury found the couple guilty of tax evasion and bank fraud.

Caught falsifying documents to obtain millions of dollars in bank loans, Julie and Todd reportedly concealed millions from the IRS, which was made during their time on Chrisley Knows Best.
Along with Todd and Julie, their accountant Peter Tarantino was also found guilty of conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and willfully filing false tax returns. Compared to the Chrisleys, Tarantino will serve a small three years behind bars.
Following their sentencing in November, Julie and Todd attempted to appeal the ruling, but the judge denied their request, leading to their latest step in the legal process of reporting to prison.
Prior to their lockup, Julie rang in her 50th birthday with her family and received a sweet social media tribute from daughter Savannah Chrisley.

I think the terms given were way too long. They are not murderers. They should have been given short terms and then allowed to work off what they owed. Being in prison does not get any money back. Make them work, keep them under house arrest except for work and pay back every penny. While what they did was totally against the law and some punishment is required what they got was excessive. Accomplishes absolutely nothing. They let a young coed who committed the rape of another coed off with just probation...how is this justice. They have hurt no one but themselves and their families.

One is going to a minimum security country club; the other to a "medical institution". Why? Because they're Smug, privileged TV personalities.
So they have kids - they should have thought about them before they stole millions.
They'll both have their sentences reduced once people move on to the next celebrity train wreck and nobody is paying attention to them.
Meanwhile, hard-working people continue to be abused by a banking system set up to heap rewards on the wealthy at the expense of the working class.

This family is fake and frauds. They deserve everything they get. I am so tired of the supposed "reality" show stars getting away with anything and everything just because they have money. That goes with those people in Hollywood. The rest of us have to pay taxes, and abide by the law, so why shouldn't they? They need to get rid of these "reality" shows because there is nothing real about them other than being absolutely stupid. Who cares how these people supposedly live and where they reside. Invest in television shows that have real subject and talent.

I think you should concentrate on locking all the paedophiles up like Harvey Weinstein who got away with it for years they should’ve got a suspended sentence and you should’ve taken their assets. But jail is a bit much when they have children at home

People who let other people know how wealthy they are don't impress me. Lying to financial institutions to obtain money is a crime, itself. There are plenty of swindlers.
I wonder why Tood is in Pensacola and Julie in KY? At least, they should be incarcerated in the same penitentiary. They committed the crime. How come the bigger criminals aren't arrested yet? Julie and Todd obtained money by falsication. Did they rob the bank, murder or hurt people? They just wanted to be rich.

Pretty harsh sentences if you ask me. Martha Stewart did way worse things and was given a slap on the wrist compared to this. I know it’s against the law people, this is just my opinion.

Totally outrageous sentences. They did not commit murder, are a threat to no one and should be made to work and pay back every penny.

I think the sentences given to both were too long. The penalty should fit the crime. So really ugly, bad people who commit drug and worse offenses are given way more lenient sentences. I just don’t see it.

Watched them a few times til I got their number then avoided the show completely. You think the network didn’t suspect their grifting ways? It used to be entertainers got the ax for a whiff of impropriety. Now it is encouraged, the more outrageous the better.
