Todd & Julie Chrisley Are Emailing Each Other in Prison & Writing Memoirs
Reality star Savannah Chrisley has said that her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, are working on tell-all memoirs and have been emailing each other while locked up in prison.
The Chrisley Knows Best stars were convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion last year and sentenced to a combined 19 years in federal prison. Todd started his 12-year sentence in January at Florida’s Federal Prison Camp Pensacola, while Julie began her seven-year sentence at Kentucky’s Federal Medical Center in Lexington.
In a video interview with the Daily Mail, Savannah was asked what Todd and Julie are doing to keep themselves busy. “They may be working on books, they may. Who knows?” she said. “But they’re definitely documenting every little thing that goes on.”
Savannah and her brother Chase Chrisley have previously spoken about their parents’ time in prison, claiming “inhumane” conditions. Last week, Savannah alleged that “corrupt” prison guards have been cutting off the air conditioning and padlocking the ice machines during 100-degree heat.
While Savannah herself said she speaks to her mom and dad several times a day on the phone, Todd and Julie themselves haven’t been able to verbally communicate. In fact the couple haven’t physically spoken to each other since being incarcerated in January.
“They’re emailing a little bit,” Savannah shared, adding that there has been a problem with getting letters to them. “What’s unfortunate is you have people in these prisons who are holding their mail,” she claimed.
Savannah added that there are a lot of inmates in the prison system who get “lost” and people on the outside “don’t seem to care to hear their stories,” hinting perhaps that the Chrisleys may champion the causes of friends they have made behind bars.
On September 11, TV Insider reported that Todd and Julie have had time shaved off their sentences for good behavior. According to FPC Pensacola’s federal prison records, Todd is now scheduled for release on January 22, 2033, almost two years short of the 12 years he was sentenced to serve.
Records for FMC Lexington show that Julie is scheduled for release on October 19, 2028, around 15 months short of her original seven-year sentence.
No doubt when they do get out, they will have plenty to tell.

I think they gave them way to much time. You can commit murder and not get that much time. And for those saying it’s not real prisons just read all the crap they have to deal with in there. No air conditioning, mole.
It’s really nasty! They shouldn’t have gotten more than 1 year! That’s what most people get for tax evasion.

Their sentences were absolutely ridiculous. There are people that do horrific crimes and get less time than this. Our Justice system is a complete joke & mess and its not fair. I don't trust the Justice system at all. You can have someone rape a child and get 5 years and get out in 2 yet there's people like the Chrisleys who I don't even believe did it but if they did which I don't believe they still gave them these outrageous sentences which is an injustice. The court and judge should be ashamed and I don't know how they sleep at night.

I think their sentences are quite harsh. Some murderers don’t even get that much time. God forbid if you screw the government. But you could go out and murder your mother and only get 7 years. Let them out. I’m sure with the time served they have learned their lesson. 10 and 5 + years is way too long.

This isn't correct unless Savannah get the letter send them under her name. If anyone familiar w the prison rules felon can't write each other cause my sister & her friend that was a guy they couldn't send letter to each other an outside party has to send it under their name

They committed major fraud upon decent tax paying citizens. They snubbed her nose at the system for over 10 years. They got exactly what they deserved. End of statement. Let’s all move on
