Todd Chrisley Cries Out To President Donald Trump For Prison Rescue

Todd Chrisley is desperate for help behind bars and pleading with President Donald Trump to step in.

According to his attorney, Todd is enduring mistreatment while serving his sentence. The reality star's plea comes as his life in prison took a turn for the worse in October, with the setback being the loss of his prison job. 

Todd Chrisley and his wife, Julie Chrisley, were handed a combined 19-year sentence for bank fraud and tax evasion and began serving their time in January 2024.

Todd is making a bold call for help as he accuses prison authorities of mistreating him at FPC Pensacola in Florida.

The TV star now hopes President Trump will grant him a pardon, as his attorney, Jay Surgent, insists that Todd "feels that he never received constitutional protections in a fair criminal justice system."

Surgent recently detailed the troubling conditions his client endures behind bars. In a lengthy conversation on Tuesday, Todd described a hostile environment where even small symbols of his political loyalty are targeted. 

One disturbing incident involved a prison guard removing a MAGA sticker from the chair in Todd's cell, an act that left him speechless for fear of further retaliation.

Surgent told TMZ that the 55-year-old and his wife are seeking a presidential pardon, confident that Trump's intervention could finally give their case the reconsideration it deserves.

The attorney stressed that while other inmates enjoy the freedom to display their stickers, Todd's pro-Trump emblem was singled out, suggesting a targeted campaign against him.

Todd's legal team believes his mistreatment is tied to his outspoken criticism of the facility. According to his attorney, the reality TV star is being unfairly targeted due to his efforts to highlight the harsh conditions at the Florida prison, which is slated to close later this year.

Surgent shared that Todd feels his cell is subjected to constant searches, with guards allegedly flipping his mattress, throwing his personal belongings on the floor, and rifling through his clothes.

This comes as Todd's daughter, Savannah, previously spoke out against the justice system during last year's Republican National Convention, fiercely defending her parents and condemning the prosecutors who pursued their case.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) reportedly declined to comment on the specific allegations but reassured the public that it is "committed to ensuring the safety and security of the individuals in our custody, our employees, and the public."

The BOP also emphasized that any misconduct claims are thoroughly investigated, with potential criminal prosecution if the allegations are substantiated.

Just before Todd began speaking out about recent alleged mistreatment in prison, he suffered another blow. The father-of-five was dismissed from his role as a chapel administrator at FPC Pensacola in October.

The Blast reported that Todd was fulfilling his duties, which included assisting the chaplain and setting up church services for inmates of all faiths. 

Despite his good intentions, he was seen working in a small office near the prison's Residential Drug Abuse Program, where he allegedly interacted with inmates. 

Todd's attorney confirmed that his actions violated prison rules. He explained that Todd's communication with inmates in the program raised concerns, as it was against regulations for him to engage with individuals who had external communication privileges.

Todd's troubles at FPC Pensacola seemed to escalate after he made explosive claims about the facility's food quality. In December 2023, The Blast reported his shocking accusations about unsanitary conditions in the prison's food storage areas.

Todd alleged that the facility's food storage rooms were plagued with rodents, revealing that he had seen rats and squirrels in the rooms. On top of this, Todd claimed that the meals were served with black mold and were often expired by over a year.

In response to his claims, a spokesperson for the Bureau insisted that their kitchens followed strict hygiene rules and provided inmates with healthy, well-regulated meals. The BOP also emphasized that expired meals were discarded, and no food was served with mold or contamination.

Julie's legal battles took another hit when the judge in charge of her case rejected her bid for a shortened sentence. Last September, The Blast reported that the 52-year-old was going to complete her 7-year sentence despite her hopes for an early release.

Julie's legal team had reportedly submitted multiple letters from family members, including her daughter Savannah Chrisley, as well as a licensed therapist, to advocate for a reduction in her sentence. 

However, the judge was not swayed, noting that the children were not minors and had access to therapy. In addition to denying the sentence reduction, the judge also rejected Julie's request to self-report back to her holding facility in Kentucky after a 24-hour furlough.

With Todd Chrisley's legal struggles intensifying, it remains to be seen if his hope for a pardon will provide an escape.
