Julie Chrisley’s Lawyer Reveals Reality Star Has Been Spending Time in Coed Custody
Information about Chrisley Knows Best star Julie Chrisley’s “missing” days from prison is finally surfacing on the heels of her 84-month sentence being upheld.
Following Chrisley’s resentencing hearing in Atlanta on Wednesday, September 25, her attorney Alex Little explained the reason behind her absence from the BOP (Board of Prisons) list, and went into more details about the reality star’s life in prison.
According to People, Little revealed their client has been transported to multiple locations over a five-week span and held in multiple coed custody facilities in Georgia leading up to the hearing.
The attorney added that Chrisley wasn’t allowed to access the outside for more than one hour a day. In the days leading up to Chrisley’s hearing, fans were concerned about her absence from the BOP list, as they wondered about her imprisonment status.
The 51-year-old has served 20 months in prison and was seeking a lighter sentence at the hearing that ultimately changed nothing about her original 84-month punishment. According to Little, his client had been working on becoming an “average prisoner” and as a result earned several certificates behind bars. Julie Chrisley’s two eldest children Savannah and Chase Chrisley were present for the hearing.
In the hearing, Julie Chrisley, who sported a new brown hairdo said, “I’ve had 20 months in prison, but it has been much more leading up to the trial and I apologize for my actions that led to where we are today.”
“I have done everything I can do to get closer to my family,” she added. ‘I’ve taken tests for new skills, such as driving a forklift and serving food in proper ways… this has been the most difficult part of my life. I can’t ever repay my children for what they’ve had to go through and for that, I am so sorry.”
In the end, the judge stated, “I am concerned about the children, but all due respect you don’t get a pass from criminal conduct because you’re a parent.”
The reality star is currently serving time for fraud and tax evasion, as is her husband, Todd Chrisley.

I agree with you. I feel that drug dealers and people who are guilty of very violent acts are having a shorter sentence than Julie and Todd. I feel they should have shorter sentences in jail and let them out on probation .

They will get probation. And believe me from my experience. They got a light sentence for fraud. Stealing millions of dollars from your community and the tax payers is high on the list of federal crimes. They hurt everybody in the community. Not just dope fiends or some innocent person, but millions of people will feel the effects of fraud. Don't downplay the severity of their crimes just because they were on tv. Moms fat, dads gay, kids are screwed. Enjoy your prison term. It will make you better. Either person or criminal. But you will be better.

I'm curious to know why the Judge said a criminal doesn't get a pass because you're a parent. Donald Trump seems to get a pass for everything he does, and she didn't get a pass, she's served two years with bugs and such. I agree Drug dealers get softer treatment.

Average drug dealers get harsher sentences at higher custody levels. She is in a camp for chrisley sake no fences or locked doors. Yes transit it atl sucks for feds, but that's what happens when you want an appeal on your already light sentence. You go back to court to hear them tell you your og sentence is good enough. Then you go back to your prison. The feds have a 98.9 percent conviction rate. They don't just throw out a sentence because your a mom. Trump was the president of this country. Yes, there are some percs with that. Not some over weight fraudster with a TV show. You get no love. Probably more hate if anything. Probably just another fraud scheme having a TV show.

First of all, there was no need for Julie Chrisley to have to appear in court for her resentencing hearing. It could have easily been done via zoom. It was a waste of time and money having to transport Julie and make her stay in several different facilities prior to her court date. If the Judge knew she wasn't going to change Julie's prison sentence, what was the point? I feel the Judge was rude and condescending to Julie and showed her dislike towards Julie. My thoughts and prayers are with Julie and her family.

This is how the feds work, I know first hand. She wanted the appeal, so she must show. And yes in person. It is your duty as a convicted felon to show for your court date. She really got a light sentence of 84 mos. Most fraudsters I met started their sentence at 10 ys. That's why the judge upheld her 84 mos. Because that's less than average. And the conditions of her women's camp are better than the conditions of a higher custody level. Like if she had been sentenced to 10 she would have been sent to a low. Or even a medium. Then she would be in real prison. There aren't even fences around either of the Chrisleys. They need to stop crying and do their time like the gangsters they wanted to be. Luckily theds didn't see it that way or they would be doing 20 each and fux your appeal.
