Chrisley Knows Best: Julie Calls Prison “Unsafe!”
Julie Chrisley recently appeared on ABC News’ “IMPACT x Nightline: The Chrisleys: Life After Lockup,” along with Savannah and Todd. When the interviewer questioned her about her life experience behind Kentucky bars, she claimed everything inside affected her physically. She explained that she could start noticing how her body was weakened.
Julie said that she suddenly developed asthma in jail. During the Unlocked podcast episode with Savannah, she revealed that her mom’s prison cell had no air conditioning when the heat index rose from 105 to 110 degrees. While the visitation room had airflow, Julie had to live in a pathetic living situation inside.
Savannah noted that Julie suffered from exhaustion, with no one like service men attending to her. “It is so beyond inhumane,” she added. Todd agreed with his daughter, saying the jail is “disgustingly filthy.” Though he was located in a Florida facility, he couldn’t stop calling out the black mold on the ceiling.
Later, Todd also claimed that there was asbestos, lead paint, and spoiled food all over. Hence, Julie said that she was highly unsafe during all of these. Not only did her health conditions deteriorate in an unhygienic setting, but she also lost her appetite to a great extent. The aftermath of prison life is better because the pair is back with their kids. Stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers for further updates.
