[Ubiquitous]

Reality TV star Todd Chrisley claimed he’s living in “filthy” conditions in
his Florida prison and being forced to eat animal-infested food where inmates
are “starving,” and the prison has hit back against the complaints.

In a statement to TMZ from the Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP), the outlet
said the FBOP was adamant it operates safe and humane facilities despite
Chrisley’s claims about expired food and a rodent-infested food storage
facility.

“There are nutritious foods” and they are “up to date and fine,”
Entertainment Tonight noted of the prison’s response.

Chrisley is serving time behind bars after he and his wife Julie Chrisley
were convicted for fraud and tax evasion in 2022.

Chrisley made the claims during an an interview — nthrough his lawyer Brian
Entin — that was aired on NewsNation‘s “Cuomo” with Chris Cuomo.

“It is so disgustingly filthy. The food is literally, I’m not exaggerating —
the food is dated — it’s out of date by, at minimum, a year,” Chrisley said
of the prison food. “It’s a year past expiration. And they are literally
starving these men to death here. These men are getting — I don’t know that
they are getting a thousand calories a day.”

“You’ve got rats, you’ve got squirrels in the storage facility where the food
is,” he added. “They just covered it up with plastic and then tore the
ceiling out because of all the black mold and found a dead cat in the
ceiling. And it dropped down on the top of the food.”

The Chrisleys reported on January 17, 2023, to begin their individual
sentences after being convicted in June last year of conspiracy to commit
bank fraud, bank fraud, tax fraud, and conspiracy to defraud the United
States. In addition, Julie was also convicted on a charge of wire fraud and
obstruction of justice.

The couple was sentenced in November 2022 to a total of 19 years behind bars
after they were convicted for their multimillion-dollar bank fraud and tax
evasion scheme, People noted. Both were also ordered to serve an additional
16 months of probation following their releases.

Earlier this year, a judge reduced Todd’s 12-year sentence by two years and
reduced Julie’s 7-year sentence by 14 months, as previously reported.
