Julie Chrisley’s New Prison Letters Reveal Todd Marriage Secrets & Misery Behind Bars
Savannah Chrisley has been sharing more prison letters from her mom, Julie Chrisley, who is serving a five-year sentence at FMC Lexington, Kentucky, for bank and tax fraud.
On the most recent episode of her Unlocked podcast, Savannah read from her mother’s letters, where she detailed her struggles behind bars, including the emotions of missing milestone family events.
“I feel like I’ve experienced so many emotions in the past few months,” Julie wrote in a letter dated June 25, 2023, per People. “I’ve survived [my husband] Todd’s birthday, Mother’s Day, Gray’s birthday, Chase’s birthday, my anniversary and Father’s Day. That’s a lot of missed days that I can never get back.”

She added, “I can only pray that I don’t miss anymore,” noting how her son Grayson’s baseball season was in “full swing” at the time. “I hate hate hate that I’m missing them, but my boy is doing so good,” she wrote.
Julie and her husband, Todd Chrisley, are both serving lengthy prison sentences after being found guilty of bank and tax fraud in 2022. Todd is doing a ten-year stint (reduced from 12) at FPC Pensacola, Florida, and hasn’t been able to communicate with Julie since reporting to prison in January 2023.
Savannah read from another letter, where Julie wrote about missing her 27th anniversary with Todd, which took place in May last year.
“Day 129, happy anniversary,” the letter said. “Today is our 27th wedding anniversary. My marriage is something I’m so proud of. It hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been so worth it. This is the first anniversary Todd and I have spent apart. I know God is in every situation, but man, it’s difficult. What is he trying to teach us?”
The letters also detailed how Julie has gained a new perspective on things, especially regarding herself. “I’ve always known I was a strong person, but this is testing me in a way I’ve never imagined,” she explained. “Lord, help me make it through the day.”
Savannah also shared her thoughts, noting, “God, I cannot imagine the feelings that she’s feeling, which is… I just can’t. I know how strong my mom is — way stronger than people give her credit for, that’s for sure.”
Julie and Todd are currently awaiting an appeal hearing, which was postponed until the week of April 15.

Do Julie not realize what her and her husband did is wrong? My husband and I work 5 jobs between us trying to keep a roof over our heads.

Yes exactly.. the longer they keep denying what they've done just means the longer they're going to sit in prison. They need to tell the truth.. Julie made a statement saying what lesson is the lord trying to teach us, honey he's waiting for both of you to admit the truth to the world but most of all admit the truth to him.. please tell the truth..

They haven't learned a thing and still believe they did no wrong. Advice: don't piss off the keeper of the keys!

They are both getting a taste of how the poor live but what they did is wrong. The Bible says obey the laws of the land. Im praying for them both. I Love their show but you broke the law and have to pay for it.

I think that regardless of what crimes they committed they deserve what all other's get on there first arrest probation with a hefty fine. If the government would investigate all reality show entertainers trust and believe they would have to build more prisons especially the music industry.

It's only right that Trump should be treated like everybody else. How can he lead the people if he isn't one of the people?

Yes, pray for them indeed. But, many people take that scripture out of context. We are supposed to judge the fruit. (The actions) The reaping and sowing is at play. The principle applies to all. If you plant apple trees — you won’t get oranges for your harvest. That being said, whatever any man/woman sows, they shall also reap. I just prayed for them, because it could have been me. You be blessed!

He is not guilty,!!

He doesn't deserve to run after what he's done. He did way more than Julie and her husband. But I guess it's who you know. He should be in jail since he started that mob going to the capital and trying to kill certain people. His whole family is the same as him.
