Julie & Todd Chrisley Bag Reduced Sentences Following Son's Call For Prison Investigation

Julie & Todd Chrisley will be released from prison ahead of their originally planned release date.

New reports claim that the celebrity couple have had their individual prison sentences reduced months after they reported to jail. Todd and Julie have been stuck in legal trouble since August 2019 when they faced indictment on 12 counts of bank and wire fraud, tax evasion, and conspiracy, with them consistently maintaining their innocence. 

Even though they were acquitted of the state tax evasion charge in Georgia in October 2019, federal charges for alleged federal tax evasion remained pending against Todd and Chrisley.

Their trial eventually commenced in May 2022, spanning nearly three weeks and resulting in the "Chrisley Knows Better" stars receiving a combined prison sentence of 19 years in November of the same year.

Despite appealing the case, they ultimately reported to prison on January 17. Now, it seems that their hood behavior earned them lesser punishment as PEOPLE recently uncovered some new information.

According to the outlet, the Federal Bureau of Prisons' online inmate search system now shows that Todd is scheduled to be released from the Federal Prison Camp [FPC] Pensacola, Florida on January 22, 2033, almost two years earlier than his original 12-year sentence end date.

In the same way, Julie's sentence has been reduced by 14 months, and she is expected to be released from the Federal Medical Center Lexington on October 19, 2028.

The good news comes just a few days after their son, Chase, wrote a disparaging letter asking for an investigation into the unacceptable conduct at FPC Pensacola. The 27-year-old, who previously served time in federal prison after getting convicted on one count of fraud last December, wrote of his incarceration experience:

"The malfeasance against me was so atrocious that this same Case Manager colluded with the CMC and Executive Staff, via email, to make it a point not to submit me, however, while making it a point to racially disparage me. As if that wasn't bad enough, steal and confiscate my mail, without order or reason for order, all because I chose to exercise my right of commencing Administrative remedy and informing the authorities of such unlawful behavior."

He alleged that the persistent neglect of duty at FPC Pensacola had become so rampant that it had become the standard operating procedure, with authorities ignoring ongoing issues.

Some of these problems included racial discrimination, black mold, water contamination, mail problems, commissary theft, prolonged dormitory heat, inadequate food budgets, fire ant infestations, and exploitative labor conditions, like inmate sexual assault. Later in the letter, Chase earnestly appealed:

"I implore Congress and the Justice Department to each conduct their own, independent investigations that yield thorough and comprehensive oversight over FC Pensacola and then, every institution remaining. For today, these injustices befall upon myself, Todd and Julie Chrisley, Senator Wayne James and countless others without name i.d. of any sort but are also currently embroiled in acts of injustice carried out against them by the BOP. When tomorrow comes, what if it is you?"

Todd proved just how unbearable the heat conditions at FPC Pensacola were when he requested home confinement some weeks ago. As The Blast reported, Jay Surgent, his legal representative, clarified that the 54-year-old submitted an application under the CARES Act to secure his release.

Unfortunately, the father of five's request "as well as a number of other applications — but particularly his — was rejected." As far as the media personality's attorney is concerned, his client lost the opportunity based on the bias of a prison employee. As Surgent asserted:

"He submitted it, but the person that was administrating it and was in charge of processing it decided that she didn't want to do that. She decided not to do it. And then, the time period for the application expired, so he wasn't given due consideration with reference to being admitted to home confinement or taken advantage of some type of a probationary program."

The aggrieved legal counsel further noted that the truth behind the application's rejection would be uncovered soon, adding, "It's very, very unfortunate, and that matter is now being investigated internally, and we feel as though there was no reason why it should have not been processed, even in light of his prison term."
