Todd Chrisley speaks from prison: Exclusive interview | Entin Across America 

Thank you for your great reporting Brian! This issue deserves greater attention, the media should be able to walk into any prison and record what's going on in there. What does the prison management have to hide? This is very concerning!

I believe everything Todd is saying. Brian do not listen to the haters. This is a story that must be heard. Congress needs to step up! The entire USA prison system needs reforming & cleaned up. Look just because ppl are in prison, doesn't mean they should be treated inhumane or like animals. Its a disgrace! Just put yourself in the shoes of the family. I don't know anyone that would want your loved one in those conditions. They are paying their dues. Lastly, Todd is in Federal prison, imagine the deplorable conditions of non-federal prisons.

I Have so much respect for Savannah! You're doing a great job bringing to light the pathetic treatment of prisoners

Thank you so much Brian for covering this story!!!

I’m happy you did this story Brian and I hope you keep this in the forefront to protect these prisoners.

For a minimum security prison, it is horrendous to hear how inmates are being abused. Their punishment is being locked up away from loved ones, not having the freedom to make any choices for themselves. That should be punishment enough. The prison is punishing Tod because he is a wealthy famous person. I experienced a similar situation. When I was 14 (in the late 60s) I ran away from home because I ditched school and got caught, and I was put in juvenile hall for 21 days. Normally, a runaway was locked up for 5 days. The 1st night in, all kids would spend 24-hours in lock up alone. That was a concrete cell with no windows. The only way to tell day or night was by the meals. There was a concrete slab with an old worn out lumpy mattress that was about 3 inches thick in the lumpy parts. A toilet was so low to the floor you had to squat to sit on it. A sink with a small faucet that ran rusty dark water from it. No human contact at all. Meals were slid under the steel door 3 times a day. You laid in the dark the entire time except for meal time, which was 10 min duration. I came from a small town. Everybody knew everybody. My parents were wealthy and owned a few businesses one was a radio station. My dad had a morning talk show that most people listened to. So, when I was put in juvy, I was made to stay in lock up for 3 days instead of the usual 24 hours for everybody else..they told me that I was a spoiled rich kid and I needed to be knocked down from my high horse.. I know being in prison and juvenile hall are worlds apart. But I sympathize for inmates (non violent) that are abused..being locked up and not having any freedom should be punishment enough.

I’ve been watching Savannah a lot lately, checking out her podcast, etc… and I must say that I’m very impressed with her and how she’s handling herself on so many levels!

Thank you for doing this!! She’s so right about everything she said!

Savannah is so articulate and brave and explains so well her new life mission

Keep speaking up Todd! You and your family are truly amazing ! Prayers for both you and Julie to be released soon!

Frankly, this is something I have felt compassionate about. We are paying to have these people in prison and allowing the prison system or institution to determine their care and safety. It sickens me to hear about all the unnecessary abuse and illegal activities that go on there. You are right. This needs to stop!

People in prison, are STILL people. These people are NOT violent offenders, and for people to be treated in this way, IS NOT OKAY.

I absolutely believe what he’s saying. I have a family member that’s mentally ill and ended up committing a crime (first time in their life) and is in a county jail. This family member ended up in the medical unit. The family member was in medical for 12 days and got 2 showers the entire time (asked everyday and was ignored). You are placed in a cell alone for 24 hours a day. The medical staff changed the bandages when they felt like it. The doctor that cleared to go back to general population looked at the wound through the door. When the person was back in general pop it was an even bigger fight to continue wound care. If you are in jail or prison they don’t give a rats ass about you. They blast the music/tv at all hours of night and day. They turn the lights on in the middle of the night and leave them on. I’ve never seen people get treated so poorly in my life.

Thank you Brian as Always! Savannah impressed me with her articulation and passion for her parent’s situation and beyond. I know they are so proud of You💜

I don’t know why, but I have a feeling that this man is going to make a difference within the prison system when he gets out. I feel like he is doing to make big changes.

Way back in the mid 90’s, I went to prison for a couple years.. Looking back now it was the best thing that ever happened to me because that’s when I accepted Jesus in my life and he’s been with me ever since. God has away of putting people in certain situations to strengthen them for his future glory. I pray that God will dispatch Angels to comfort Todd and his family.

This just opened my eyes to jail/prison and what goes on in there I guess I never really thought about the older people and aging adults in prison this just breaks my heart ❤️ my mother had dementia and I could never imagine her being in a prison going thru this Thankyou Todd Chrisley and Savannah and Brian for covering this I pray for the Chrisley family and all ❤️🙏❤️

Been praying for them whether they are guilty or not. Thanks for this report.

They need to release the elderly in these type of conditions and get them the help they need. They let hardened criminals out of prison and allow this to happen to the elderly. Makes me sick. Todd’s compassion for that man he was speaking of just broke my heart to hear.

I just wanted to say this is very, very true! Unfortunately, I was incarcerated in a Pennsylvania state prison for about 3 years. Yes, I was guilty, and yes, I deserved to do my time. During that time, I worked in the state kitchen for quite some time. The boxes the "meat" come in, say not for human consumption. Things are very dated. There are rats running through the whole kitchen. Also, the elderly and sick get treated horrible. There was this very elderly lady in my housing unit and was starting to loose her mind, they treated her awful and were so abusive. She finally passed away in her cell. And it was from neglect on their part. The people with mental health people my heart goes out for. They have no idea how to truly help and take care of these humans, and they get stuck there because they will get wrote up all the time for different things and they will be in episodes and not medicated properly. Something definitely needs to be done for all institutions. We live in the United States of America and it's shameful. I know some people will say , well don't do anything wrong and or you deserve that. They are humans regardless and people deserve real food and proper medical and to not get abused. People go to jail for abuse, what does that teach those people? If you advertise authority it's OK? We are I'm America and you wouldn't think so in our jails. Edit.. also people are saying why care about some rich person complaining ect, it doesnt matter if your rich or poor or what color or gender you are everyone deserves to be treated fairly. And thankfully because of their popularity maybe they can get farther wwith this then some normal person with out an audience. ❤

Lord please keep Savanna strong. Keep Todd and Julie strong. In Jesus name I ask these ❤

Regardless of whether you're in prison you're still a human being and you should still be treated as such it's just disgusting

Don’t we have a right to know what is going on inside these prisons? Isn’t it funded by our federal dollars?? Why don’t they have someone like OSHA who they report to and have inspections? They probably do but they are probably paid off to look the other way! Something needs to be done!! Thank you for reporting about this and I think just maybe this is why Todd is there; to bring attention to it all. Praying for him, Julie and their family!

I love the Chrisley family! Thank you for this reporting and thank you for speaking up Todd Chrisley!

They really need to investigate. That’s disgusting.

I’m glad you’re doing this story. And here’s the thing, everyone is saying that Todd is complaining, and Julie is complaining and what do they expect when they’re in prison.. NOBODY SHOULD LIVE UNDER THE CONDITIONS THAT ANY OF THESE INMATES ARE! And also, it’s a good thing that because they are famous, and their kids are putting out this information which reaches way more people than the average inmate. People are paying attention. And everyone is also mad because the chrisleys are talking about prison reform and what-not, and why now, only because their parents are in prison..Ever stop to think that you don’t know how bad something is, until you’re directly affected? And guess what, immediately they began to fight for them all. Thank you for covering this, and don’t let anyone stop you… And certain people in these prisons are so corrupt it’s not funny.

Thank You Brian For Sharing This! It IS SOOO True That Prisons Need REFORM. I Have Also Seen Some Questionable Practices and REPORTED Them To GOV Officials Multiple Times.. NOTHING WAS EVER DONE .. SMH...CHANGE Needs to Happen.. My Love To TODD and JULIE and Prayers That They Get OUT OF JAIL SOON !! I Respect TODD's BRAVERY For Speaking Out ... HE WILL MAKE CHANGE HAPPEN THROUGH HIS TRUTH REVEALS ....

I was thinking that the elder Chrisleys needed to keep quiet and just serve their time. However, with Todds accusations against the prison - all of which can easily be proven, I agree with Brian in that it needs checked out. Is there a way to somehow talk to other prisoners through their attorneys?

How is the prison allowed to lie publicly. There is just no empathy anymore. To them it is just a job. Shame on them. A human is a human. God sees

People played this as Todd was being a “spoiled rich man”. Great work again Brian. Expose high privatization of a government program goes wrong. Profit over morals.

OMG!!!!!!! Todd and Julie we love y'all ❤️ I'm still 🙏 for you and your family everyday......

My son went to prison here in Texas, and he said the same things... it's awful..

My nephew, barely 38 years old and a non-violent prisoner keeled over and he did not get medical attention fast enough. He had started having health issues in prison. Sadly, he passed away. It has been since the first week of December 2023 and his family has yet to get his personal belongings or a cause of death. He too was to be released at any moment the very same week he passed away. He isn't the only inmate to die recently at the same prison in Georgia.

Thank you Brian 👏🏻

Thank you Brian for bringing this out in the open.

I feel like Brian Entin must have quite a challenging job with all the travel but I really appreciate his work.

My family member recently served a 5 year federal prison sentence for a financial crime. We learned very quickly that often times they punish the inmate by punishing the family. My family member received “diesel therapy” that Todd alluded to….and told us the exact same information about the food in his facility. He was in Minnesota. This is so widespread and egregious and something HAS to be done. ESPECIALLY for nonviolent crime!

They don’t deserve to be in prison. I’m glad he’s getting out the treatment they get there.

I can say as someone who has been in prison and worked in the prison cafeteria, the food served to us was outdated AND it says for zoo and institutional use ONLY! That was here in Kentucky

The difference here is Todd is talking about things that are affecting other prisoners. Not just him. Not like Donna Adelman who complains only about herself. Todd is truly trying to help others and try to make things right.

I’m glad you did the interview it’s very interesting 🙏👍🇺🇸

Savannah has come a long way!! No matter how you feel about her parents, (and I don't know what to believe at this point), she has grown up and taken on these challenges admirably. Good for her! Her parents should be very proud of her and grateful for everything she has done and continues to do to raise her siblings and free her parents. Two very tough jobs are on her shoulders.

Brian thank you do this video. This topic needs to be brought aware of. The conditions of these prisons is exactly the way they are telling it and not just that state, but all kinds other states as well. 👏👏👏

Brian you are an incredible reporter. My favorite reporter! I worked for the court system and mentally ill prisoners are not given their psychotropic meds in county jail. The county will only pay for certain psych meds that are the least expensive which are the older meds. They do not purchase the new and better drugs. The mentally ill get worse when they are not properly medicated.

There are people who SA children who don't get as much time as Todd and Julie got. It's wrong. They need to adjust their sentencing to match their crime.

As a former relation of a prisoner, I heard firsthand the conditions these inmates deal with. I was a victim of harassment after lodging a formal complaint against a warden whose sister and wife also worked in the administration section of the same prison ( nepotism much). Letters never arrived, money orders disappeared, phone calls were cut off, and visits cancelled. I was followed home, atvs revved up and down outside my property at 2 am. The more one trys to bring to light the terrible conditions and treatment the worse the retaliation. I am not a fan of Todd Chrisley at all but I do believe what he is saying. Its all too familiar to me.

Sad that anyone should not have general human decency like edible food & medical care. Thanks for your reporting!🙏🙏🙏

Love the Chrisley's! So thankful that you covered this story. 🙌

Praying for Todd's protection. This kind of exposure of this horrible violation of humans could cost him his life. That terrifies me.😢 I love him and his family. I pray for them daily.

I worked in a maximum-security women's prison as a dental assistant and as God is my witness the food in the cafeteria came in boxes marked not for human consumption.

This problem is not exclusive to that prison. My daughter was a psychologist in a prison and I have done some volunteer work at a jail. The way the prisoners are treated is atrocious. All food is labeled "not fit for human consumption" and expired. The mold and lack of cleaning supplies make the physical state of the prisons no better than during the Middle Ages. I am not exaggerating. Many ppl say "don't do the crime if you can't do the time". That is so ignorant. There are ppl held in jails that have not been convicted of anything. Also, these ppl still need to be treated like humans.

I do think we need a guarded genuine health standard for people incarcerated. It's difficult to have sympathy for some depending on their crimes. Prisons for Profits need to stop!

This is deeper than you realize!! Keep investigating!! these county jails and prisons truths will Blow peoples minds!! There are regular smart,talented,educated, successful people sitting in there for mistomenour, traffic violations ect... At age 35! Ive NEVER seen meth in my oife or been exposed to it until i went to a county jail!!! The things i witnessed and went threw seemed so unlogical it felt like a movie

Murderers get less. I followed this family from day one. Only reality show i stuck with and only one I watch. 🙏❤️

It’s all true according to a family member that is in the correction department in Florida. He contracted Tuberculosis in jail and they refused medical care. They refused to isolate sick inmates so many contracted TB. Now he’ll have it for life. Plus everything else that was said, he has experienced it all.

This is so awful. Criminal or not people are still human. I don't thunk minimal criminals should have to live like this.

“We the people “ pay the taxes for all of these prisons- the folks who are staying there are human beings that deserve to have basic necessities; food, hygiene needs and bedding. The is ZERO excuse for expired food!!! Our government needs to be called out for that!! Retaliation is UNACCEPTABLE as well!! What if this was your family member????

Savannah, I completely agree with you! I do believe they are making an example of your parents!!!! My prayers are with you and your family!! I’m a very big fan of the show but more than that, I’m praying for your parents and their safety and praying for a speedy release. Many prayers for you as , pretty much , a single parent. Keep your head high and know you are loved and cared about ❤❤❤

They do not give medicine in prison. My brother was in a federal prison for 27 yrs. and yes it is that bad. He had to have 2 teeth pulled and they did it with very little medicine. He was not completely numb and was given Tylenol for pain. He also had his neck sliced from ear to ear less than 1/4 inch from main artery. That was sewed up without 😊. There was so much stuff that was inhuman. You better believe that they will do what they need too to keep him quiet.

To be clear, I don’t particularly like either of these people however I at the same time believe that the Internal Revenue Service currently yields far too much power in this country.

For those saying they did the crime, for just a minute forget the name associated with this story and just listen to the details of what’s being reported and then imagine if you or family made one bad decision/mistake tomorrow… Let alone the fact that the investigators were able to lie and there was proof just shows you their no better but becz of their role they can get away with it and you don’t stand a chance! Then once your in you get expired food(what little you do get) and as you age and start to have serious health issues, oh well, to bad, you’ll have to suffer. Listening to him tell about the elderly gentleman that fell and they basically said oh well was beyond sad.

Most interesting & informative interview I've watched. Thanks for sharing!

Sadly prisons and jails have treated prisoners like this for ages and ages. In America. Watch Larry Lawton, his channel talks about how bad prisons are, he was in Federal prison too. It's overdue for a state, private and federal prisons to have a huge overhaul. Keep reporting and never stop until there's change for the better.

No one is going to really understand what they are going through until they experience the trauma themselves. Walk a mile in their shoes! I've worked in facilities where we were trained how to deal with riots and self-defense-type things and were basically threatened NOT to be nice to those "incarcerated." The thought process was to scare the prisoners straight so they never want to return. However, many return because it's the first time in their life that there is some stability. Everything Savannah said brought back memories of what I saw with the nasty food, mold, filth, and lack of medical care. She's absolutely right! Humanity is most important! NO ONE should ever be tortured in prison! Prison is forcing someone to lose their freedom. That's it. Not to be put in dangerous, potentially fatal situations.

Great interview. Thank you for shedding light on the prison conditions.

Beautifully done, Mr. Entin!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏

I'm glad he's brave enough to talk the truth, I pray for his protection and for conditions to improve, including supervision

I’m so thankful to see so many not turning a blind eye to this!!!!

What a GREAT story Brian 👏👏👏

Thank u Brian for bringing this issue to light, hopefully the Chrisleys wont be bought out to be quiet, given hush money for freedom. I pray their daughter keeps the momentum going for true prison reform.

So proud of you Savanna you are so strong keep the faith. I really feel God will intervene in this situation and you will have better times ahead. I have went through a lot of what you have keep the faith and stay strong ❤❤

It's not just federal prison state prison. My son who is disabled before they sentenced him the jail wouldn't let him have his hearing aids so he had to plea without his hearing aids then when he got to prison they took his seizure medicine away we have to pay for his medical care. My son bought thermals and boxers they took them from him. the ADA can only help so much. This is in Utah. May God help us all Amen

GREAT JOB BRIAN!!!💜💜💜

If we can give other countries Trillions of dollars that is reportedly not being properly accounted for. Then it is apparent that we should crack down on this problem, cut back on spending on other countries/wars government waste, and start allocating more funds for better prison food, facility maintenance and health care. On a separate note, It would also be nice if our federal government could allocate more funding for the non-prison elderly care (i.e. seniors with dementia) there is a TREMENDOUS need here!

Oh my god - that is outrageous; thank you for covering this

Federal prison has been AWFUL!!! You dont know until someone you love or care about is put in a Federal prison!!! He'd be a target and a threat if media is "interviewing" him on site common sense...an only 15 mins a call, welcome to some peoples "normal"

Our government doesn’t care about stopping crime is all about covering up for their own wrong doings. God Bless Savannah. What a wonderful human being. God does not put more on us than we can bare so God does not expect you to forgive your siblings & accept what they did. You are an Angel.

Meanwhile, Hunter Biden gets away with it. Great interview, thank you! Love the Chrisleys ❤

Let me tell you, in Minnesota, specifically st louis county Duluth they have a doctor at the prioson that had his md license pulled yet he is a dr at the prison! How TF does that work!?

Animals eat better than these poor prisoners. No matter what a person is in jail for they deserve fair treatment. Todd knows that God has placed him there as an advocate.

RA in delphi is apparently being mistreated as well. He's also hasn't been convicted. I belive it just depends on the state the prison is in.

I know I did wrong but it doesn’t make me any less of a human being. Just basic human rights are stripped away and you are demoralized

The SYSTEM IS ABOUT MONEY....HELL HAS SPECIAL SEATS FOR MANY OF THOSE IN CHARGE

Brian. This jyst breaks my heart, even if they are in prison they are still human being. Something needs to be done n i don't understand why, why, why this is even going on. God Bless You All. Ya i thought federal prison was supposed to be alot better n safer but boy was i ever wrong, if i can help in anyway im here. Actually we all should stand up n say something as our taxes are paying for this.

This is horrible. I never really knew about stuff like this. You are right we need to bring awareness to this these are human beings we the tax payers are paying for these things they should have, and they don’t have these things just basic needs like food. That’s why you were not allowed in we need truth and transparency in these jails and prisons. Thank you Brian please stay on this

If his family is putting money on his money for commissary he deserves to get what he’s paying for. They aren’t giving him that his family is PAYING so that doesn’t cost the prison! No excuse

Ok I’m pissed !! For those to say they are the southern family “ Trumps” well this is down right disgusting !! I hope you get justice Todd …expose the prison and all prisons..call the governor, let him get involved , do investigations galore! Thank you!

Love love love Todd Chrisley and his entire family! The show was great!

06:40. Thank you Brian for being so concerned.

Thanks for doing this story Brian and I hope you keep this in the forefront to protect these prisoners. I for one believe Todd & the numerous other inmates accounts of how bad it is in our prison system today!

This is not what was reported on Reddit, as a matter of fact this is much worse. This is a serious issue, if what Todd is saying is true, and must be investigated separately. Prisoners are entitled to basic human rights. End of.

TERRIBLE THE WAY GYPSY ROSE GOT OUT IN 8 YEARS FOR HAVING HER MOTHER MURDERED. AND HIM & HIS WIFE TAXES. WHAT THEY PUTTING THEM THUR, HECK SHE GOT MARRIED IN PRISON!!

My brother wasn’t in prison but he was in jail over here in Fort Worth. They practically starve them. They are not allowed to even go outside and get any sun and that in itself is bad for the body ! They get no vitamin D3 and that can cause so many problems with the immune system and cause depression and high anxiety! My brother lost several pounds and I went to visit him I heard a young man talking to his father who was visiting him talking thru the glass he said “ dad they don’t even allow us to go outside there is no outside area we can’t work out all we do is stay in here and he told him that they barely get any food my brother confirmed that. Sad. And they’re are lots of really bad gang members in there!

Omg, This is heartbreaking 💔 to not let them as a married couple not talk isn't right 😢 I love them and people that are in prison still are humans. I know this may sound silly but I pray for everyone 🙏 I wish I could help this terrible world. Who knows maybe 1 day us together can change but it will take us all. God bless everyone 🙏

Please, TODD, do not share these things until you’re out!! You’ve got to keep quiet and just do what’s expected in order to protect yourself 😭

Savannah, has become so so matured, I feel for all people who are in prison with dementia, they should have a special home for them.

Let this couple go.....it's time...

Very well said Savanna ….keep up the fight ….you are a great daughter…..I wish you the best…

I unfortunately broke the law and ended up in jail and was not given me my prescription medication for almost 2 weeks!!! This happens every day in prisons and jails.

I feel sorry for this situation. I think he listened to the professionals who helped him with his business and trusted them. He was caught up in the show and did he have an entertainment manager. The producers must have known something. He is showing how strong he is. I am not sure it is as easy for Julie. They always seemed like a nice and close family who were real with their problems too.
