Todd Chrisley speaks from prison: Exclusive interview | Entin Across America

Todd Chrisley, who gained fame on the show “Chrisley Knows Best” before being convicted on charges of bank fraud, spoke out publicly for the first time from behind bars.
The jailed TV star spoke exclusively with NewsNation’s Brian Entin, saying he believes he’s being targeted by prison staff and that he and other inmates are living in filthy conditions.
In this podcast, Entin dives deeper into the allegations, sharing a response from the prison system and an extended interview with Chrisley’s daughter, Savannah Chrisley.

I believe everything Todd is saying. Brian do not listen to the haters. This is a story that must be heard. Congress needs to step up! The entire USA prison system needs reforming & cleaned up. Look just because ppl are in prison, doesn't mean they should be treated inhumane or like animals. Its a disgrace! Just put yourself in the shoes of the family. I don't know anyone that would want your loved one in those conditions. They are paying their dues. Lastly, Todd is in Federal prison, imagine the deplorable conditions of non-federal prisons.

For a minimum security prison, it is horrendous to hear how inmates are being abused. Their punishment is being locked up away from loved ones, not having the freedom to make any choices for themselves. That should be punishment enough. The prison is punishing Tod because he is a wealthy famous person. I experienced a similar situation. When I was 14 (in the late 60s) I ran away from home because I ditched school and got caught, and I was put in juvenile hall for 21 days. Normally, a runaway was locked up for 5 days. The 1st night in, all kids would spend 24-hours in lock up alone. That was a concrete cell with no windows. The only way to tell day or night was by the meals. There was a concrete slab with an old worn out lumpy mattress that was about 3 inches thick in the lumpy parts. A toilet was so low to the floor you had to squat to sit on it. A sink with a small faucet that ran rusty dark water from it. No human contact at all. Meals were slid under the steel door 3 times a day. You laid in the dark the entire time except for meal time, which was 10 min duration. I came from a small town. Everybody knew everybody. My parents were wealthy and owned a few businesses one was a radio station. My dad had a morning talk show that most people listened to. So, when I was put in juvy, I was made to stay in lock up for 3 days instead of the usual 24 hours for everybody else..they told me that I was a spoiled rich kid and I needed to be knocked down from my high horse.. I know being in prison and juvenile hall are worlds apart. But I sympathize for inmates (non violent) that are abused..being locked up and not having any freedom should be punishment enough.

Many people have become inhuman by "othering" prisoners and disassociating from the reality that the conditions must change. I hope that Mr. Chrisley gets an appeal, and meanwhile his awareness helps to trigger much needed reform.

[@jenniferkennedy175]

I absolutely believe what he’s saying. I have a family member that’s mentally ill and ended up committing a crime (first time in their life) and is in a county jail. This family member ended up in the medical unit. The family member was in medical for 12 days and got 2 showers the entire time (asked everyday and was ignored). You are placed in a cell alone for 24 hours a day. The medical staff changed the bandages when they felt like it. The doctor that cleared to go back to general population looked at the wound through the door. When the person was back in general pop it was an even bigger fight to continue wound care. If you are in jail or prison they don’t give a rats ass about you. They blast the music/tv at all hours of night and day. They turn the lights on in the middle of the night and leave them on. I’ve never seen people get treated so poorly in my life.

[@dianajones7999]

[@mimiandmonet]

My nephew, barely 38 years old and a non-violent prisoner keeled over and he did not get medical attention fast enough. He had started having health issues in prison. Sadly, he passed away. It has been since the first week of December 2023 and his family has yet to get his personal belongings or a cause of death. He too was to be released at any moment the very same week he passed away. He isn't the only inmate to die recently at the same prison in Georgia.

[@RachyllCheyenne]

My family member recently served a 5 year federal prison sentence for a financial crime. We learned very quickly that often times they punish the inmate by punishing the family. My family member received “diesel therapy” that Todd alluded to….and told us the exact same information about the food in his facility. He was in Minnesota. This is so widespread and egregious and something HAS to be done. ESPECIALLY for nonviolent crime!

[@kellyclawson]

I’m glad you’re doing this story. And here’s the thing, everyone is saying that Todd is complaining, and Julie is complaining and what do they expect when they’re in prison.. NOBODY SHOULD LIVE UNDER THE CONDITIONS THAT ANY OF THESE INMATES ARE! And also, it’s a good thing that because they are famous, and their kids are putting out this information which reaches way more people than the average inmate. People are paying attention. And everyone is also mad because the chrisleys are talking about prison reform and what-not, and why now, only because their parents are in prison..Ever stop to think that you don’t know how bad something is, until you’re directly affected? And guess what, immediately they began to fight for them all. Thank you for covering this, and don’t let anyone stop you… And certain people in these prisons are so corrupt it’s not funny.

[@amorebella8710]

I just wanted to say this is very, very true! Unfortunately, I was incarcerated in a Pennsylvania state prison for about 3 years. Yes, I was guilty, and yes, I deserved to do my time. During that time, I worked in the state kitchen for quite some time. The boxes the "meat" come in, say not for human consumption. Things are very dated. There are rats running through the whole kitchen. Also, the elderly and sick get treated horrible. There was this very elderly lady in my housing unit and was starting to loose her mind, they treated her awful and were so abusive. She finally passed away in her cell. And it was from neglect on their part. The people with mental health people my heart goes out for. They have no idea how to truly help and take care of these humans, and they get stuck there because they will get wrote up all the time for different things and they will be in episodes and not medicated properly. Something definitely needs to be done for all institutions. We live in the United States of America and it's shameful. I know some people will say , well don't do anything wrong and or you deserve that. They are humans regardless and people deserve real food and proper medical and to not get abused. People go to jail for abuse, what does that teach those people? If you advertise authority it's OK? We are I'm America and you wouldn't think so in our jails. Edit.. also people are saying why care about some rich person complaining ect, it doesnt matter if your rich or poor or what color or gender you are everyone deserves to be treated fairly. And thankfully because of their popularity maybe they can get farther wwith this then some normal person with out an audience. ❤

[@diannepierce936]

Brian you are an incredible reporter. My favorite reporter! I worked for the court system and mentally ill prisoners are not given their psychotropic meds in county jail. The county will only pay for certain psych meds that are the least expensive which are the older meds. They do not purchase the new and better drugs. The mentally ill get worse when they are not properly medicated.

Great interview. Thank you for shedding light on the prison conditions.

[@gailknowles3804]

I worked in a State Prison facility for 28 years. I have dealt with Federal Prison issues as part of my position. I hear what Todd is saying about what sounds deplorable and what I am hearing is that the problems he cites are issues that he has "heard about" but not actually seen. There is no way that his facility is as horrible as he describes. Prison facilities are not independent. They all answer to a higher authority. Inspections are done regularly to ensure that food is good. The story he tells about the injured inmate in his dorm, is what he has heard. He would not be privy to medical information regarding another inmate. Just as you and I are not privy to medical information about each other. You absolutely CANNOT believe the extreme stories told by inmates. I am a Chrisley fan and I have nothing against these people but I can assure you that the conditions can't be as bad as Todd describes. Again, most of what he is telling you is hearsay, not fact. Now that's just the truth. Todd is angry. I would be too but he is trying to cause a ruckus for the prison system. Emails are scanned and monitored to ensure that all is legal but not held as punishment. I don't know about the tuna amounts in the commissary but that would be up to Admin staff and the reason could be that the can't access as much as they did. Regarding access to the prison itself, there is a procedure. Not everyone get's in because not everyone follows correct procedure or they may not fit the correct criteria. You cannot assume that the prison is corrupt because YOU didn't get in. I'm sure that facility is not perfect but I don't think for a second that it is as bad as Todd describes...after all, he is repeating what he hears from other inmates. None of whom want to be there.

As a former relation of a prisoner, I heard firsthand the conditions these inmates deal with. I was a victim of harassment after lodging a formal complaint against a warden whose sister and wife also worked in the administration section of the same prison ( nepotism much). Letters never arrived, money orders disappeared, phone calls were cut off, and visits cancelled. I was followed home, atvs revved up and down outside my property at 2 am. The more one trys to bring to light the terrible conditions and treatment the worse the retaliation. I am not a fan of Todd Chrisley at all but I do believe what he is saying.

This problem is not exclusive to that prison. My daughter was a psychologist in a prison and I have done some volunteer work at a jail. The way the prisoners are treated is atrocious. All food is labeled "not fit for human consumption" and expired. The mold and lack of cleaning supplies make the physical state of the prisons no better than during the Middle Ages. I am not exaggerating. Many ppl say "don't do the crime if you can't do the time". That is so ignorant. There are ppl held in jails that have not been convicted of anything. Also, these ppl still need to be treated like humans.

There were many days, when my daughter worked in a temporary capacity at a jail that housed 350 ppl, that there were only 4 officers working. They were so short-handed. It was also common that the inmates were not allowed to go out for rec for over weeks at a time because not enough officers working.

Savannah, I completely agree with you! I do believe they are making an example of your parents!!!! My prayers are with you and your family!! I’m a very big fan of the show but more than that, I’m praying for your parents and their safety and praying for a speedy release. Many prayers for you as , pretty much , a single parent. Keep your head high and know you are loved and cared about ❤❤❤

[@carrield2025]

No one is going to really understand what they are going through until they experience the trauma themselves. Walk a mile in their shoes! I've worked in facilities where we were trained how to deal with riots and self-defense-type things and were basically threatened NOT to be nice to those "incarcerated." The thought process was to scare the prisoners straight so they never want to return. However, many return because it's the first time in their life that there is some stability. Everything Savannah said brought back memories of what I saw with the nasty food, mold, filth, and lack of medical care. She's absolutely right! Humanity is most important! NO ONE should ever be tortured in prison! Prison is forcing someone to lose their freedom. That's it. Not to be put in dangerous, potentially fatal situations.

Praying for Todd's protection. This kind of exposure of this horrible violation of humans could cost him his life. That terrifies me.😢 I love him and his family. I pray for them daily.

[@xzAllisonxz]

Sadly prisons and jails have treated prisoners like this for ages and ages. In America. Watch Larry Lawton, his channel talks about how bad prisons are, he was in Federal prison too. It's overdue for a state, private and federal prisons to have a huge overhaul. Keep reporting and never stop until there's change for the better.

The judge who sentence the Chrisleys should be removed.

[@curtisallred7250]

Exactly! Eleanor Ross is who it is.

[@sicilyny5375]

All the politicians...with money offenses that never see a day in jail...what about them??

[@saraicanoalcala5194]

Meanwhile, Hunter Biden gets away with it. Great interview, thank you! Love the Chrisleys ❤

[@jackieyoungblood0777]

TERRIBLE THE WAY GYPSY ROSE GOT OUT IN 8 YEARS FOR HAVING HER MOTHER MURDERED. AND HIM & HIS WIFE TAXES. WHAT THEY PUTTING THEM THUR, HECK SHE GOT MARRIED IN PRISON!!

[@missychelle33]

In the fact that Julie and Todd have not heard each other’s voices since they went to prison it’s just so unbelievably sad

[@BeachLife61]

Ok I’m pissed !! For those to say they are the southern family “ Trumps” well this is down right disgusting !! I hope you get justice Todd …expose the prison and all prisons..call the governor, let him get involved , do investigations galore! Thank you!

[@clairecowart1052]

I'm glad he's brave enough to talk the truth, I pray for his protection and for conditions to improve, including supervision

[@janetbryant558]

Our government doesn’t care about stopping crime is all about covering up for their own wrong doings. God Bless Savannah. What a wonderful human being. God does not put more on us than we can bare so God does not expect you to forgive your siblings & accept what they did. You are an Angel.

[@Javas_Dream]

If we can give other countries Trillions of dollars that is reportedly not being properly accounted for. Then it is apparent that we should crack down on this problem, cut back on spending on other countries/wars government waste, and start allocating more funds for better prison food, facility maintenance and health care. On a separate note, It would also be nice if our federal government could allocate more funding for the non-prison elderly care (i.e. seniors with dementia) there is a TREMENDOUS need here!

[@RF1972.]

Let this couple go.....it's time...

[@debprice8869]

The SYSTEM IS ABOUT MONEY....HELL HAS SPECIAL SEATS FOR MANY OF THOSE IN CHARGE

[@lindasaffles4189]

Animals eat better than these poor prisoners. No matter what a person is in jail for they deserve fair treatment. Todd knows that God has placed him there as an advocate.

[@lisadonovan1741]

''Todd knows that God has placed him there as an advocate'' NO,.. TODD F U C K E D U P and is paying the price 4. his EXTREME STUPIDITY and ARROGANCE FACTS

[@scorpjess84]

Federal prison has been AWFUL!!! You dont know until someone you love or care about is put in a Federal prison!!! He'd be a target and a threat if media is "interviewing" him on site common sense...an only 15 mins a call, welcome to some peoples "normal"

[@RiviRee]

If his family is putting money on his money for commissary he deserves to get what he’s paying for. They aren’t giving him that his family is PAYING so that doesn’t cost the prison! No excuse

[@miskittt]

If my taxes is for better food than they are receiving, then follow the money. Why are they NOT receiving the services that my taxes are paying for???

[@lorrainevaldez6593]

Good video Brian!🤗

[@kelleyhighsmith1646]

Thanks for doing this story Brian and I hope you keep this in the forefront to protect these prisoners. I for one believe Todd & the numerous other inmates accounts of how bad it is in our prison system today!

[@Sew_Memory_Bears]

Please, TODD, do not share these things until you’re out!! You’ve got to keep quiet and just do what’s expected in order to protect yourself 😭

[@SassyKYgirl51]

I know I did wrong but it doesn’t make me any less of a human being. Just basic human rights are stripped away and you are demoralized

[@Southern_Mama26]

How do the employees that work in the prison system sleep at night? The corruption seems so massively deep, their human resources department probably hires bad people, people they know who will go along with the program. The US just keeps digging deeper holes in all aspects of the government that are now impossible to repair.

[@michellnicole6973]

My brother wasn’t in prison but he was in jail over here in Fort Worth. They practically starve them. They are not allowed to even go outside and get any sun and that in itself is bad for the body ! They get no vitamin D3 and that can cause so many problems with the immune system and cause depression and high anxiety! My brother lost several pounds and I went to visit him I heard a young man talking to his father who was visiting him talking thru the glass he said “ dad they don’t even allow us to go outside there is no outside area we can’t work out all we do is stay in here and he told him that they barely get any food my brother confirmed that. Sad. And they’re are lots of really bad gang members in there!

[@JarodARed]

If you read the last page of any prison or jail handbook, it says "These rules are subject to change at any time, for any reason" so it doesnt matter what the DOC handbook says, they can change the rules anytime they want without notification.

[@OceanBaby813]

It’s dangerous food. Elderly are in danger of infection

[@lantlavoer6653]
