Todd Chrisley, the reality star known for his role in the show “Chrisley Knows Best,” is not bothered by the fact that his family is starting a new reality series while he is currently serving time in prison. In fact, he believes it is a fantastic idea. According to Jay Surgent, Todd’s attorney, the reality star is “thrilled and happy” that members of his family are launching the new show. Todd hopes that the series will depict the devastation his family has been facing since he and his wife, Julie, were sent to prison earlier this year.
Todd will not be a part of the show, but his children, Chase, Savannah, Grayson, and adopted daughter Chloe, as well as his mother Nanny Faye, are all reportedly starring in the new series. The show will pick up after Todd and Julie started serving their prison sentences.
In recent news, Todd has claimed that he has been severely mistreated while incarcerated at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Pensacola. Allegedly, his mail has not been delivered to him, photos have been taken of him while sleeping, and there is no air conditioning in the Florida summer conditions. These conditions have caused Todd significant distress.
Furthermore, Todd has expressed frustration as his attorney, Jay Surgent, has been blocked from contacting him while he is in prison. Todd claims that Jay is unable to reach him through mail, phone, or email, and the attorney is unsure why. Despite his attempts to seek answers from prison administration, Jay has not received any response.

While Todd’s attorney has been unable to directly contact him, he has been able to set up appointments to speak with Todd through the assistance of Todd’s prison counselor. However, the inability for Todd and Jay to communicate freely raises concerns about Todd’s access to legal representation and his exercise of constitutional rights.
Jay Surgent is taking these concerns to the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) in order to find a solution. He believes that Todd being unable to contact his legal counsel is a direct violation of his constitutional rights. As of now, there has been no response from the BOP regarding these concerns.
In conclusion, Todd Chrisley supports his family’s decision to start a new reality series while he is in prison, hoping it will shed light on the challenges they have faced since his incarceration. However, Todd has reported mistreatment and limited access to his attorney, raising concerns about his rights as a prisoner. Jay Surgent, Todd’s lawyer, is actively seeking resolution with the Bureau of Prisons to address these issues.
