Things aren’t looking up for Todd Chrisley, who is facing “retaliation” after outing the allegedly terrible conditions of the prison where he is being held. According to his daughter Savannah Chrisley, prison employees have gone as far as “planting” drugs on the Chrisley Knows Best star in a desperate move to relocate him to another facility.

Speaking to NewsNation’s National Correspondent Brian Entin on a recent episode of Cuomo, Savannah offered an update on her father, who recently gave his first interview since getting locked up at the Federal Prison Camp in Pensacola, Florida for tax evasion and bank fraud in January 2023.

“The retaliation is real,” she said of how the prison is handling Todd’s bombshell interview about his current living conditions. “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.”

Savannah then revealed that she received an anonymous letter from workers in the prison, who have been giving her “all the information,” including a recording of higher-ups plotting to ship Todd to another facility.

“They have to have a good reason to [relocate him]. They have to find something he’s in violation of,” she explained. “So, I have heard they’re going to the extent of planting cellphones, drugs, going through his lockers, so that they can send him to a facility and truly behind bars.”

According to the Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test star, the prison has even tried to block her family from visiting her father.

“Part of their retaliation is trying to stop our visits because they know that there’s some information that is told to us during these visits,” she said. “My grandmother, who is 79 years old, drove seven hours to visit my father and they sent her home.”

Meanwhile, Julie Chrisley — who is serving her five-year sentence from a federal prison in Kentucky — is also living under “deplorable” conditions.

“She’s struggling, she’s struggling being away from her kids,” Savannah said. “The conditions are awful. They’re deplorable. The fact that she has, 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.”

While it’s been “tough” on everyone, Savannah promised that she’s “going to continue fighting” for her family.
