Julie Chrisley got sick in prison.
In June, the appeals court Julie Chrisley’s conviction was overturnedBut she’s not out of danger, or out of prison, yet.
nevertheless Chrisley knows best Todd and Julie did not receive the best reviews among fans, many of whom were uncomfortable with their long sentences for non-violent crimes.
Julie is more than just sick; the horrific conditions in a “good” federal prison are making her sick. And she’s not the only one.
Julie Chrisley got sick in prison
Since Todd and Julie Chrisley reported to their respective prisons to serve their sentences in early 2023, their adult daughter, Savannah Chrisley, has been acting as their defense attorney outside of prison.
Obviously they have a legal team to deal with. Their complaintAnd they have made progress on that front — progress the family once feared might not be possible.
But mainly through Savannah, the depraved Chrisley knows best The Stars have also shone a light on the injustices that plague our broken prison system, with much of the focus being on the despicable, inexcusable and entirely preventable conditions in the prisons themselves.
Late this spring, an appeals court overturned Julie’s sentence but not her conviction. The judge ordered her to be resentenced, which means she still can’t get out of prison (unless she serves just a year and a half).
Todd, meanwhile, is still serving his 10-year sentence.
But in the latest episode of Savannah Chrisley unlock PodcastsShe is opening up about how excruciating her mother, Julie Chrisley’s, condition has become at the Federal Medical Center (FMC) in Kentucky.
Savannah Chrisley warns about prison conditions facing mother
“We had air conditioning in the visiting room thankfully, but there was no air conditioning outside,” Savannah explained. “And the heat index was [between] 105 and 110 [degrees].”
She explained, “And that’s the condition my mother lives in. There’s no air, and it can get up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit inside the building.”
Savannah then reported what her mother had told her: “She said it was really hot and she was getting sick,” she reported.
Julie Chrisley isn’t the only one suffering: Savannah explained that, like any systemic issue, this affects countless people.
“We have women suffering from heat stroke and losing consciousness,” she recounted.
“But, you know, there are service dogs. [at the same facility] “Anything that has air conditioning… I don’t understand it,” Julie lamented. “It’s so inhumane.”
Everyone has the right to live in a livable environment
As countless human rights and prison reform experts have pointed out, burning prisoners alive, whether guilty or innocent, guilty of fraud or murder, is not the act of a just society.
Savannah spoke of how touched she was by her mother’s relief and excitement to be in an air-conditioned room during their visit — something she and most people in the United States take for granted, but a rare pleasure for her mother.
“Unfortunately for these men and women, it [normal] “It’s really hard to hear about those struggles,” Savannah said. “The whole prison system is so broken, not just in my father’s prison, but in my mother’s prison.”
As always, Todd and Julie Sympathetic victim. Chrisley knows best Judging by the way they act off camera, they don’t seem like good people.
But even terrible people can be overly punished, and even the most despicable person on the planet has a right to a livable environment if they end up in prison.
Imprisonment is a punishment. It should not amount to torture. The conditions Savannah describes clearly violate the human rights of prisoners, including those who, of course, have committed no crime and should never be in prison.
