You’ve got rats, a dead cat found in the ceiling that dropped down on top of the food.
It is so disturbing.
Todd Chrisley alleges horrendous conditions at his prison facility.
“They don’t want you in here where you can see what’s really going on.”
It all goes down via recorded messages that aired on Chris Cuomo’s News Nation show.
It’s devastating, with the Chrisley Knows Best star answering questions about his life behind bars,
including allegations that safety is being threatened by the guards.
“There was a photograph taken of me while I was sleeping and sent to my daughter,
asking for $2,600 a month for my protection.
There are recordings of staff members here talking about,
‘He needs to be humble. What we need to do is we need to put him in diesel therapy,
put him in shackles, and let him be moved around the country.'”
There are recorded conversations that guards are having:
“We need to get him the f*** out of here.”
His daughter Savannah echoed these claims to ET last month.
They both say her social media posts have led to retaliation inside,
like stalling communication between Todd and his wife Julie,
who’s also serving time after their convictions for bank fraud and tax evasion.
“She and I email, you know, four or five times a day,
but they will hold my emails and send them on her end as well as a way of punishment.”
“Because what Savannah is saying is there’s been a lot of retaliation
because of the latest things that I’ve posted on Instagram,
and that’s the tough part. The moment you start speaking out, you have to pay for it.”
“Well, does that make you want to kind of reel it in a little bit?”
“No, we’ve—he and I have had the discussion.
His exact words were, ‘If I have to be uncomfortable in order to hopefully implement and enforce change,
then I’m willing to do it.'”
“You’ve got squirrels in the storage facility where the food is.
They just covered it up with plastic and tore the ceiling out because of all the black mold.
The only food that I eat is what I make, that I buy from commissary.
I eat tuna, I eat peanut butter—
that’s what I get protein.”
“I’ve been told this by a staff member: one of the ways she’s trying to break me
is by cutting down what I can buy in comm.
She says, ‘When I asked her about it, she says commissary is a privilege, not a right.'”
It’s been almost a year since Todd and Julie surrendered to prison,
and as Savannah tells it, there’s hope in 2024 for their ongoing appeal.
“The week of March 25th, we will have oral arguments,
so this is huge news. We get to go and argue why Mom and Dad should be home.
I know that God has a greater purpose; I know He’s got a greater plan,
and I’m not going to let the federal government break my faith.
What we will not do is we will not break.”
