The Chrisleys are doubling down on their fight against the government! It’s been seven months since Todd and Julie Chrisley reported to prison after being convicted of fraud.

While the Chrisley family heads serve their jail time, their kids continue to advocate for justice for them, claiming that the combined sentence of 19 years is unfair. As part of the efforts, the “Chrisley Knows Best” siblings even appealed their parents' case.

The reality TV family is ready to go all out fighting for justice. Recently, Savannah Chrisley, the youngest daughter, revealed that the family had gotten a new legal team for their parents.

“We have had some new legal counsel that has entered into the game,” the 25-year-old declared. “We're doing everything that we possibly can to fight this appeal.” To this revelation, Chase bragged that his family members are “not quitters,” to which Savannah concurred before declaring, “I will never quit.”

Savannah showed her zeal towards upturning her parents’ sentence, highlighting that she was ready to give it her all.

“I don't care if I have to take this to the Supreme Court," she stated. “There is no quitting that's happening. We have a great team of people behind us that I'm so blessed and grateful for.”

Asides increasing their legal team, the reality star has also taken an extra step for the case. Savannah shared that she started working on a six-page letter she intends to send to “all” U.S. senators. The letter details all that “went wrong” in her parents' case and pleads with them to “undo this injustice” and reunite the family.

Perhaps what could have contributed to the siblings increasing their efforts in their parents’ case is the terrible prison environment. The siblings didn’t hold back as they spoke about the “inhumane conditions” their parents faced in the facility.

“You went and saw Dad, and you got to hear about the cluster of everything going on at his facility," Savannah said to her older brother during their conversation. In response, Chase blurted what he thought of the place.

“It's a nightmare,” the 27-year-old expressed before revealing some of the terrible situations of the facility. “They both have no air conditioning. They are both in states where it gets to be 100+ degrees, and there's no air conditioning.”

The youngest Chrisley daughter also disclosed that their mom "has rattlesnakes just casually slithering on the floor in front of her" and has allegedly seen snakes in her cell and around her bed.”

The ‘Unlocked With Savannah Chrisley’ Host Accused The FBI Of Corrupt Practices

While Savannah fights her parents’ cases tooth and nail, she believes the system is corrupt. Last month, she accused the FBI of corrupt practices during a virtual interview with Fox News.

The Sassy by Savannah founder shared a part of the conversation she had with Fox News on her Instagram. In the clip, the “Chrisley Knows Best” alum and political commentator Lawrence B. Jones discussed her parent’s incarceration.

The media personality left no stone unturned as she bravely spoke her opinions. While the chat unfolded, Jones asked Savannah about her reasons for going public with her challenges. In response, the reality tv star admitted she wanted to inspire others to fight, adding that they were not alone in their struggles.

Still, on the talk, the reality star credited Fox News and other alleged “FBI whistle-blowers” for bravely speaking out about the unfair practices in the government. “We felt it firsthand with the government overreach, with a warrantless search that occurred with an IRS — with a department of Revenue agent going into a warehouse without a warrant.”

Savannah then stated that her advocacy wasn’t for her family alone but to shed light on the corrupt system. She said, “So if it can happen to us, it can happen to you. It’s not about my family; it’s about the corrupt nature within the DOJ and the FBI.”

The political commentator further asked the former beauty pageant competitor about how her parents’ appeal process was unfolding. Savannah replied, “We are currently in the appeal process, and as you know, when you are dealing with the government, it is a long journey, but it is not a journey that we are afraid of. We are willing and ready to fight head-on.”
