Savannah Chrisley Says There’s Been ‘Retaliation’ Against Dad in Prison After Public Comments

Todd Chrisley may be finding a new prison to call home as he carries out the remainder of his sentence.

In an interview on Chris Cuomo’s NewsNation show Cuomo, Savannah Chrisley alleged that her father has been facing “retaliation” for speaking out about the terrible living conditions he and his fellow prisoners have faced in their time at the Pensacola Federal Prison Camp.

“The retaliation is real,” she told the outlet. “It is heartbreaking for me to watch as his daughter, but they have even gone to the extent of stating that they will try to ship him to a state facility because our federal institutions cannot guarantee his safety.”

The Chrisley Knows Best alum, 26, claimed that she’s been given information by individuals who work in that facility, “which should scare the warden and the [Bureau of Prisons].”

“The BoP has called me a liar numerous times, but I have all the information to back it up,” she continued. “And these letters, I mean, I even have recordings of them speaking about shipping my father … but they have to have a good reason to. They have to find something he’s in violation of.”

Savannah alleged the facility has gone to the “the extent of planting cell phones, drugs, going through his lockers” in order to “send him to a facility and truly behind bars.” The podcast host also claimed Todd’s wife Julie Chrisley’s living conditions haven’t been great either.

“The conditions are awful. They’re deplorable,” she said on Cuomo of her mother’s time behind bars. “The fact that she’s in Kentucky, it’s 30 degrees. She’s going without heat. They will do a temporary fix and then they’ll be without it again. There was also a dead bird in the water where their water comes from. So, it’s tough.”

PEOPLE has reached out to the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Pensacola Federal Prison Camp for comment.

Last month, Todd described his deplorable living conditions in a conversation with his first-ever prison interview with NewsNation.

“It is so disgustingly filthy. The food is literally, I’m not exaggerating — the food is dated and it’s out of date by, at minimum, a year,” he said. “It’s a year past expiration. And they are literally starving these men to death here. These men are getting — I don’t know — they are getting a thousand calories a day.”

Even though he found ways around the food system with trips to the prison’s commissary, Todd claimed the quality of all has been compromised by living and dead animals.

“You’ve got rats, you’ve got squirrels in the storage facility where the food is,” he claimed. “They just covered it up with plastic and then tore the ceiling out because of all the black mold and found a dead cat in the ceiling, and it dropped down on the top of the food.”

PEOPLE reached out to the Pensacola Federal Prison Camp for comment at the time but never received a response. However, in a statement to ET, a spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons said its mission is to “operate facilities that are safe, secure, and humane” and that “humane treatment of the men and women in our custody is a top priority.”

Todd is serving a reduced sentence of 10 years at the federal prison after a jury convicted him and Julie of a multimillion dollar bank fraud and tax evasion scheme. Julie is also serving a reduced sentence of six years in a Kentucky federal prison. Both will continue to serve 16 months of probation following their sentences.
