Savannah Chrisley Reacts to Reports About Father Todd’s Physical & Mental Wellbeing
Following reports that he has “let himself go” since being sent to a Florida prison six months ago, Todd Chrisley‘s daughter has come out to defend her father in her latest “Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley” podcast.
The 25-year-old, alongside her parents’ lawyer Alex Little, discussed what they claim are holes in the government’s case against her father and mother Julie. They also gave an update on where they are now in the appeals process before discussing Todd himself. Savannah firstly addressed reports about her father’s mental and physical condition, stating, “It’s hilarious because one of them was like, ‘He’s let himself go.”
“First off, newsflash, they don’t sell hair color in commissary so, of course, his hair is gray,” she said. “But you know what? I would tell him today, if he was out, ‘Keep it that way.’ Like, it looks good.”
She then informed listeners, “He’s got this great prison barber, it’s this Puerto Rican guy, he’s very kind,” and added that her father remained “relentlessly optimistic” about his chances of being freed.

Todd and his wife Julie Chrisley, another star of the USA Network reality series, were convicted on charges of bank fraud and tax evasion in June 2022. In November, they were charged to 12 years in prison and seven, respectively.
The couple’s lawyer gave an update on the appeals process they’re pushing amid “nightmare” conditions previously reported. Speaking to People, Jay Surgent, a partner at Weiner Law Group LLP, who represents the couple, shared that they “did our final filings” last week for an appeal.
Ahead of this appeals update, TV Insider reported that Todd had been enduring bad plumbing, potential mold, and no air conditioning to hold off the extreme heat being experienced in Pensacola, Florida, where he’s serving his sentence. Meanwhile, Julie is also reportedly experiencing tough conditions in Lexington, Kentucky, where she’s currently serving her sentence.
Todd and Julie’s children Savannah and Chase Chrisley, spoke out about their parents’ living conditions on Savannah’s podcast Unlocked. “It’s a nightmare,” Chase said. “Now they both have no air conditioning. They’re both in states where it gets to be 100-plus degrees, and there’s no air conditioning.”

Still sounds like better living conditions than what I had while being deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan. Hey Todd, not for nothing but you need to become more humble and lose that "spoiled rich bitch" attitude. Be thankful for what you STILL HAVE. There are people with far less than what you have right at this very point and would KILL to have just a roof and 3 square meals a day. Be thankful you still have what you have!

Sorry they are not living the life they are used too. They committed a crime and should be punished. They are no different than any other criminal. If we keep giving special treatment to people who are famous or have money why bother to even spend money to take them to court. I saw they need to stick it out along with the people who are in jail.

We are already giving special treatment to people with the 2-tier justice system. Hunter Biden should be sitting in that jail also right now. Same with his daddy.

It's prison. I'm guessing no one in there is in great living conditions. Again...it's prison. If you could get out due to deplorable conditions, everyone would fall under that heading. I'm not happy they are suffering. But this is the path they took...it sucks...lesson? Don't commit fraud tax evasion. It's not a good ending.

I think they should just accept the fact that there parents are criminals. I'm tired of the whining. Keeping them in the spotlight is bull. Shut up and move on already

So if those two should get out of prison and go under house arrest, shouldn't all the other inmates have that granted to them? I mean, doesn't that make sense? Why just these two clowns?

Very sad, however I don't know of any prisons that offer air-conditioning for all prisoners. As for appeals most of the time appeals are turned down. The defence attorney says there is a hole in their clients case. A more accurate statement would be there are many holes in our legal system. But then again in the past innocent people loss their lives from holes in the legal system. Best wishes.

Woman’s Federal Prison in California has air. I know because my son was the guy who kept them running!

Okay thank you for that information. I figured someone out there may know.

I worked in a prison for 20 years and there is no air conditioning in the inmate rooms. I agree with you that I don't think any prisons have air conditioning. I was lucky enough to work in the Inmate Health Services as a secretary and there was air conditioning there.

I'm sorry about the conditions but it's jail, It would be different for me if you had this much concern before. I don't wish her parents any harm, however it's what happens to all people when they go to jail

The sentence they received was weigh too harsh many murderers get less time than they got how come Martha Stewart was in such a nice prison and Julie isn't in a similar prison

O
Martha Stewart didn’t steal 30 million dollars. She sold some stock that she heard was going under. She was and still is worth billions. She worked her whole life for her fortune. Not even close to comparing her to the Chrisley case.

The only thing I don't agree on is the time. Violent, dangerous offenders do less time! I mean come on, violent criminals that have records/repeat offenders don't get that many years either! I find it absolutely ridiculous. Three to four years of suffering behind bars is plenty, and fair for what they did.

They are not special to anyone and they don't deserve any special treatment for what they did .

Sick of all the whining and entitled attitudes. If they did get home confinement all it would do is give them time for more, unsupervised grifts. No way either of these two felons are released to home they would actually stay in it. I wouldn't be opposed to them ending up in an abandoned forward operating base in Afghanistan. Just drop in food and water.

They are not required to have any conditions whatsoever. They are convicted felons. He won't make it in prison , he's probably getting abused the poor woman.

Boo hoo...so tired of the entitlement here. They are in prison not a country club. They committed a crime, had their day in court, done. Does anyone honestly believe that they would abide by house arrest rules?

But they are doing them wrong because they are people out there just as bad and they haven't been in trouble with the law and you have the President's son Hunter that has broken the law many times and they are not doing the system right!!??

It would be amazing if the Chrisley's could take this and turn it into something positive. American prison conditions need reform. Yes, they are prisoners, and they are there for a reason. I am not saying it needs to be spa quality. It should, however, be humane. People aren't perfect, bad choices happen, anyone could end up there by a twist of fate. The Chrisley's have the fame, or infamy, to really be heard. Money and the government, it's a no brainer. More people get a way with murder lol.

Exactly,,, !!
But I do agree that the prisons are very unsanitary there already being punished they don’t have to be treated like your a nobody, but just a number in there,
Like they say you wanna play the game be prepared to pay the time,,
My son is sitting in prison for 45 yrs for a armed robbery charge, it’s heartbreaking especially for the family’s at home I think it’s harder on the families then it is the prisoners,
I’ve never heard of anyone getting 45 yrs usually they get less then three yrs,
It’s so hard for me & my grandson that has to grow up without his parents,
I feel the most pain for him, he was 7 when his daddy went to jail he’ll be 18 soon his mom passed away when he was 18 months old,
I just want my grandson to have his daddy back,
I definitely believe the system is so messed up there’s so many that do time for crimes they never even committed,
God bless everyone stay strong & always be safe,
Do The Right Thing ,
Love thy neighbor, 💔

C
Exactly,
I wish the best for them & there children,
I know what prisons are like there definitely not meant to make you comfortable that’s for sure & we all make mistakes,
God bless everyone, ✌️💞🙏

If at any time there belief in God must endure now. The sins of our father is a burden on all. I pray for Todd's peace and acceptance 🙏.
-
C
Amen,,
I loved watching there show,
It’s heartbreaking especially for the kids,
I know my son is doing 45 yrs for an armed robbery charge & I’ve never heard of anyone getting that much time,
It’s been 9 yrs so far & my lil grandson has to grow up without his parents his mom passed when he was born,
I wish my son would’ve thought twice before he did what he did because there’s not a day that goes by that I’m not thinking of him & missing him so much,
I know he did wrong & he’s paying for what he’s done but in all honesty its the family at home that hurts the most, 💔
I wish them nothing but the best,
God bless everyone out there please do the right things in life never allow yourself to loose your own freedom, god bless,, ✌️💞🙏

There not the ones that sighned there names on anything,,
The parents did it so they will have to do the time,
It’s sad seeing this,
If I had a luxury life like that I’d never do anything to ruin it,
Like they say if your gonna do the crime be prepared to do your time,,
All prisons suck,,,
I wouldn’t do anything that would take away my freedom nothing is worth going to jail for,,, NOTHING,, !!
