‘Chrisley Knows Best’ stars Todd and Julie Chrisley reported to prison for their 19 years total sentence

On Tuesday, Jan. 17, Todd and Julie Chrisley reported to their respective prisons in Florida and Kentucky to begin serving their sentences. The reality star couple was convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion last year.

Todd was sentenced to 12 years in prison while Julie received a seven-year sentence, for a total of 19 years served between the two. Additionally, they will each pay restitution and do three years of supervised release once they finish their prison time.

Todd is serving his 12-year sentence at the minimum security Federal Prison Camp Pensacola in Florida, while his wife will spend her seven years at Federal Medical Center Lexington in Kentucky.

“Over the course of a decade, the defendants defrauded banks out of tens of millions of dollars while evading payment of their federal income taxes,” US Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan told E! News in November 2022. “Their lengthy sentences reflect the magnitude of their criminal scheme and should serve as a warning to others tempted to exploit our nation’s community banking system for unlawful personal gain.”
