Inside her life behind bars. Julie Chrisley began her seven-year sentence at Federal Medical Center Lexington, a federal prison in Kentucky, in January 2023 after being convicted of 12 counts of tax evasion, bank and wire fraud.
The guilty verdict was reached in June 2022 more than two years after Todd and Julie were initially charged. During their trial, the duo claimed that Mark Braddock, a former employee of Todd’s, committed the crimes while impersonating the real estate mogul in 2012.
Todd and Julie’s family — they share daughter Savannah and sons Chase and Grayson — were “devastated about the verdict,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly after learning of the guilty verdict. “It’s horrible news … Their whole life changed in that moment.”
The couple also share their granddaughter, Chloe, whom they legally adopted in 2016. Todd is also the father of daughter Lindsie and son Kyle from his first marriage to Teresa Terry.
Todd reported to Federal Prison Camp Pensacola in Florida in January 2023. While Julie was initially set to be in the same state at Federal Correctional Institution Marianna, it was decided in December 2022 that she’d report to Lexington instead. In May 2025, President Donald Trump pardoned her and Todd amid their prison sentences.
