Lindsie Chrisley says her parents are making the best of their time served. During a new episode of “The Southern Tea”, the 33-year-old podcast host opened up about the family’s experience in the wake of Todd and Julie Chrisley‘s conviction in a federal tax evasion and fraud case.
“You want to be strong and tell them everything’s going to be fine, even though you’re questioning if everything’s going to be fine,” she confessed. “One of my biggest concerns was the access to televisions… Like, do you think people have seen ‘Chrisley Knows Best’ that are serving time in these camps? And simply the answer, I know now, is yes.”
She continued, “My parents were welcomed with open arms. I feel so blessed with that because I have heard of other people reporting that not being the case.”
Lindsie’s latest remarks came in conversation with author and prison consultant Justin Paperny as part of a larger discussion on prison reform, conditions inside the facilities, and the sentencing of white collar crimes.
“My dad never surrendered himself to the federal prison camp in Pensacola thinking that he was going to a Taj Mahal,” Lindsie said. She added that Todd’s spirits are high and that “he looks very, very good.”
“I couldn’t stop telling him how great he looked,” she said of a recent visit. “I said, ‘Even your hair looks better a little bit longer and a little bit grayer.’ His nails aren’t completely bitten off.”
“I know for sure he is in such a better place,” she continued. “His spirits are great. He is really just embracing the process there, making the best of the process there with the people that are also there serving time with him. He’s made great friends. He talks about his friends there.”
