Todd Chrisley, the reality television star known for “Chrisley Knows Best,” is currently incarcerated at Federal Prison Camp Pensacola following his conviction for tax evasion and fraud. According to reports, Chrisley, has been removed from his position as an Assistant to the Chaplain after allegations of associating with inmates involved in the prison’s Residential Drug Abuse Program.
Chrisley’s attorney, Jay Surgent, confirmed the development, stating that Todd is “very disappointed and upset” about his removal. He had been volunteering in a small office within the chapel, where he contributed to organizing religious services for various faiths, including Christian, Jewish, and Muslim services. Surgent expressed that Todd feels he was removed from his duties “without cause,” but remains optimistic about his family’s future. “He firmly believes that in the end, God will work things out for him, Julie, and his family,” Surgent said.
A representative for the Federal Bureau of Prisons declined to comment on the specific circumstances surrounding Chrisley’s job loss, citing privacy reasons for incarcerated individuals, including their work detail assignments.
Todd and his wife, Julie Chrisley, were indicted on 12 counts of tax evasion, fraud, and conspiracy in 2022. In November of that year, they were sentenced to a combined total of 19 years in prison. Despite having appealed their case, the couple reported to prison in January 2023. In October 2019, they were cleared of a state tax evasion charge in Georgia but faced federal convictions that significantly impacted their lives.
In a recent update, Todd’s release date has been pushed to June 26, 2032, following a reduction in both his and Julie’s sentences. Julie’s initial seven-year sentence was vacated in June after federal judges determined that her case lacked sufficient evidence. However, her original punishment was upheld last month, with her release now set for April 22, 2028.
The couple’s daughter, Savannah Chrisley, has openly discussed the emotional toll of her parents’ legal battles. In an episode of her podcast “Unlocked,” she reflected on her dreams about her mother returning home. “That’s the only dreams that I’ve had recently,” she shared. “It’s just her coming home and her being at home to the point that, like, I wake up and I’m kind of disoriented.” Savannah acknowledged the challenges they face, saying, “I expect the worst, and anything else that is better than that is a win.”
As the Chrisley family’s legal struggles continue, they face an uncertain future. Todd’s current situation in prison has raised questions about the impact of his conviction on both his personal and professional life. The couple, who previously enjoyed a high-profile lifestyle, must now navigate the realities of incarceration while holding on to hope for a positive resolution in the future.
