Having parents, or a loved one, in jail is not easy. Like Savannah Chrisley previously said, you can’t see them anytime you like, you can’t call them when you’re experiencing a crisis, and you don’t get to chat with them for very long even during visitations.

To Savannah, leaving her parents behind at the jailhouse after every visitation manages to make her even more miserable than she was when she came.
these aren’t the only emotions that the 26-year-old reality TV star cycles through in relation to her parents’ sentencing.
Savannah Chrisley – Can’t Sleep the Night Before Visiting Her Parents
“The Chrisley Knows Best” alum recently confessed to feeling a wave of emotions whenever she’s booked to see her parents.
“The night before I go to visit my parents I get really anxious… can’t sleep… can’t sit still…and my mind just won’t shut off,” she wrote over a photo of herself in bed the she shared via Instagram Story. “Waves of anxiety, grief, sadness, happiness, etc.”

Due to feeling a lot of dizzying emotions at the same time, Savannah usually starts getting ready to see her parents as early as 3 a.m, and hours before the sun comes up, she’s already driving to Pensacola Federal Prison Camp in Florida, if she wants to see dad Todd, or to Federal Medical Center Lexington in Kentucky to see mom, Julie.
After describing her state of mind, she said that “only a loved one of someone who is incarcerated will understand.”
Todd is serving a reduced sentence of ten years at a federal prison after a federal judge convicted him and Julie of multi-million dollar bank fraud and tax evasion scheme.
Julie, on the other hand, is serving a 7-year sentence in a Kentucky federal prison. If they’re released, they will serve another 16 months of probation.
