Todd Chrisley reveals attempt to extort family with photographs of him in prison
Chrisley Knows Best star Todd Chrisley broke his silence from behind bars nearly a year after he turned himself in at a Pensacola, Florida, federal prison to begin serving his 12-year sentence.
There has been talk about the conditions in the prison he is at, with his daughter, Savannah Chrisley, sharing a lot of it on social media.
She and her brother, Chase Chrisley, have openly discussed the conditions they see while visiting their parents and the information they get from speaking with them.
NewsNation’s Brian Entin spoke with Todd on the phone after being denied access to talk to him in the prison.
It wasn’t an easy feat. Brian explained that despite filling out the paperwork and having the approval of Todd’s attorney, the prison denied his access, calling it a “security risk.”
However, he got it done, and what Todd had to say was shocking.
Todd Chrisley reveals attempt to extort family
While speaking with Brian Entitn, Todd Chrisley revealed Savannah Chrisley received a photograph of him sleeping in prison, demanding $2,600 a month for “protection.”
This was after Brian asked how the correctional officers were treating him.
It seems someone was attempting to extort the Chrisley family by using a photo of Todd in a vulnerable state (sleeping) to get their attention.
Todd also revealed he heard conversations about “humbling” him and comments about how prison wasn’t one of his mansions.
