“Their conditions are also very good. Like, everybody acts like my dad at some country club,” Chase Chrisley said of his parents’ time in prison.
Chase Chrisley Finds It ‘Heartbreaking’

During the appearance at Chasin’ Birdies podcast, Chrisley shared the experience of visiting her mom and dad, Todd and Julie Chrisley, behind bars after they were sentenced to a combined 19 years for tax crimes.
As difficult as it was, Chrisley said the visit was necessary and not one she took lightly. The family “wouldn’t miss a weekend. He went on to lay out how jam-packed weekends usually play out.
“Savannah is going to see my father; I’m going to see my mother. We would take turns, and Savannah would usually bring the kids [Grayson and Chloe] down with him,” he explained. But that doesn’t mean it gets any easier.
“It’s hard, man. Our family is very loving, so when you love someone as much as we love each other, it’s hard to see your loved one in such a state.
Chase Chrisley Believes It’s An Injustice

Like her sister, Savannah Chrisley, Chase is adamant that the justice system is unfair. “Our system is very broken, but that’s nothing new,” he told his listeners. “I mean, there are so many other convicted felons who are sitting in jail and don’t have the resources to fight back.”
Chase now sees that so many people have struggled with the court system long before his parents were accused of theft and fraud. “That’s what my sister and I are working on, is prison reform and trying to help people with their re-entry when they get out, help them find jobs, give them some stability,” he said of his charity work.
“But yeah, man, it’s hard to see them there,” especially since it’s not something Todd and Julie are used to. They live in multi-million dollar homes and probably don’t have to share a bathroom.
Black Mold Haunts The Chrisley Convicts

Chase described the allegedly challenging circumstances of his parents who had to stay. “They get like black mold [where my dad is], and my mother’s place is worse. I mean, he doesn’t have air conditioning. They are in the camp. It’s better than being behind a wall.”
Furthermore, he and his parents get no privacy. “just in a big room with everybody,” he said of the space. Despite all the negativity, Chase was thankful that he could at least hug his parents. “Which is a blessing in some places; you can’t do that,” he added.
The family plans to appeal this conviction. Savannah talks about it on her podcast, Unlocked. “People are asking about the appeal. The appeal was filed last month. So now, we wait. This is a game of hurry up and wait so we can wait a while. It may be October or November before we hear anything else. We don’t know.”
