Todd Chrisley No Longer Working at Prison Chapel, Attorney Confirms

Todd Chrisley is no longer working at the prison chapel, according to his attorney. His removal stems from his interactions with inmates in the prison's Residential Drug Abuse Program.

Currently serving time at Federal Prison Camp Pensacola, the 55-year-old reality star lost his job as an Assistant to the Chaplain. His attorney, Jay Surgent, informed PEOPLE that the removal was due to his associations at the facility.

Surgent expressed that Todd also lost access to a small office in the chapel. He conducted volunteer work there and is "very disappointed" he can no longer help with organizing religious services. These services cater to Christian, Jewish, and Muslim communities in Pensacola.

According to Surgent, Todd feels his removal was "without cause." Despite this setback, he maintains a strong belief that God will ultimately manifest positive outcomes for him, his wife Julie, and their family.

A representative for the Federal Bureau of Prisons declined to discuss specific cases for privacy reasons. This includes details regarding an inmate's work assignments.

The couple faced 12 counts, including tax evasion and fraud and received a combined sentence of 19 years. Although they cleared a state tax charge in Georgia in 2019, they checked into prison in January 2023 after their sentencing in November 2022.

As of September 2023, both had reduced sentences, with Todd's release date extended to June 26, 2032, based on information from the Federal Bureau of Prisons' inmate search. Julie's seven-year sentence was vacated in June due to insufficient evidence, yet her original longer sentence was later upheld.

Despite this, her release is set for April 22, 2028. Before the ruling, Savannah Chrisley shared her feelings about her parents’ legal troubles. She stated she often dreams of her mother coming home, waking up disoriented by these constructs.

Savannah expressed feelings of uncertainty, saying she tries to remain realistic due to the complicated legal situation. "I expect the worst, and anything better than that is a win," she concluded.
