Todd Chrisley is serving prison time, and claims the Federal Prison Camp Pensacola has poor living conditions, including expired food, rodent infestations, and staff trying to break him.
Chrisley has tried to buy food from the commissary, but claims that the employee in charge is cutting down what he can buy. He also alleges that a team of employees is humiliating and trying to blackmail him while in prison.
Todd Chrisley spoke out about the allegedly “filthy” conditions at the Federal Prison Camp Pensacola, with claims of expired food, a lack of food causing starvation, issues with commissary supply, unsanitary conditions, and allegations of staff attempting to humiliate and blackmail him.
Since Todd Chrisley spoke out about the allegedly “filthy” conditions in prison, a representative for the Federal Bureau of Prisons has emphasized that they take their responsibility to care for incarcerated individuals seriously. They have an Administrative Remedy Program for incarcerated individuals to seek formal review and redress of almost any concern they have regarding their incarceration. Todd reported that the food is well past its expiration date, leading to inmates being starved. Additionally, Todd alleged that the prison staff is trying to humble him and blackmail him with compromising photographs.
Todd Chrisley reported to the Federal Prison Camp Pensacola in Pensacola, Florida, on January 17 and has claimed that the conditions there are disgusting. He also accused the staff of trying to blackmail him for protection money. The charges against Todd and his wife, Julie, stem from tax evasion, conspiracy, and bank and wire fraud, leading to their eventual sentences in 2022. The couple’s children have also voiced their concerns about their parents’ living conditions in prison and disputed the perception that it is akin to living in a country club. In fact, their son Chase described the conditions as “s–tty” and far from what people may have assumed.
Todd was quoted claiming, “Before she came here, you could buy 12 packs of tuna a week. She cut it down to six, and from six it went to three. She has not given a reason. When I asked her about it, she said commissary is a privilege, not a right.” These allegations have been a source of stress for the Chrisley family as they stand by Todd and Julie while they serve their sentences. Julie is currently serving her time at the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky. Despite Todd and Julie’s sentences being shortened under the First Step Act, their children remain concerned about their well-being in prison.
