Savannah Chrisley, daughter of Todd and Julie Chrisley, opened up about the difficulties her parents are facing while in prison.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Savannah Chrisley, 26, spoke about the conditions they are enduring while serving time in separate prisons in Florida and Kentucky.
“They are in conditions where it gets to be 115 degrees inside because there is no air conditioning. There’s black mold, asbestos, lead-based paint,” she said.
She also revealed they are “consuming food that says ‘not for human consumption'” and have no “clean drinking water.”
“And when you look at this, you’re not just serving a sentence for a term, you’re serving a life sentence because of the conditions that you are enduring. And you don’t know how that’s going to affect your health,” Savannah Chrisley explained.

Furthermore, the “Chrisley Knows Best” star spoke about how the poor conditions are affecting her mother, following her battle with cancer.
“My mother is a cancer survivor. Obviously, conditions like this are not good for her health and the recurrence of cancer,” she said, calling it “a challenge.”
She added, “But I made it my mission to be loud and to stand up even when it’s hard.”
Savannah Chrisley also alleged her parents have received consequences for her expressing her concerns.
“Unfortunately, by doing that, there has been some retaliation against them,” she said. “But if it means them being uncomfortable for us to make lasting change, then that’s what we’re going to do.”
In a statement to Entertainment Tonight (ET), the couple’s attorney, Jay Surgent, revealed they are set to be released from prison at an earlier date.
“Both Todd and Julie received reductions to their sentences as a result of the First Step Act where good-time credit is front-loaded, leaving Todd with 10 years and Julie 5 years, instead of 12 and 7,” he shared. “They are both model incarcerated individuals with no infractions, and they are first offenders and not violent offenders.”
Todd and Julie Chrisley were convicted in June 2022 of conspiring to defraud Atlanta banks.
In January, they were originally sentenced to a combined 19 years in prison and will be required to do 16 months of probation after they complete their jail time.
