Todd Chrisley And Julie Start New Life Behind Bars
Some assumed that Todd and Julie Chrisley would receive assignments to the same federal prison. However, although they hoped for that outcome, the Chrisley Knows Best stars surrendered to different facilities on Tuesday. And the start of their stay behind bars comes two months after their sentences for a combined 19 years for tax evasion and fraud, reported Page Six.
The Chrisley Knows Best patriarch, 53, will spend the next 12 years at Federal Prison Camp Pensacola in Florida. However, his wife Julie at first received an assignment to an institution only two hours away. But instead, the Chrisley Knows Best matriarch will live the next seven years at Federal Medical Center Lexington in Lexington, K.Y.
And even after the prison sentences end, Julie and Todd will continue to pay for their crimes. For instance, she must fulfill a probation sentence lasting 16 months after her prison release. The Chrisley Knows Best alums’ prison sentence starts only hours after they failed with their attempts to get bail. The court also rejected their requests to delay their surrender date by 21 days.
