    I believe everything Todd is saying. Brian do not listen to the haters. This is a story that must be heard. Congress needs to step up! The entire USA prison system needs reforming & cleaned up. Look just because ppl are in prison, doesn't mean they should be treated inhumane or like animals. Its a disgrace! Just put yourself in the shoes of the family. I don't know anyone that would want your loved one in those conditions. They are paying their dues.
    Lastly, Todd is in Federal prison, imagine the deplorable conditions of non-federal prisons.

    For a minimum security prison, it is horrendous to hear how inmates are being abused. Their punishment is being locked up away from loved ones, not having the freedom to make any choices for themselves. That should be punishment enough. The prison is punishing Tod because he is a wealthy famous person. I experienced a similar situation. When I was 14 (in the late 60s) I ran away from home because I ditched school and got caught, and I was put in juvenile hall for 21 days. Normally, a runaway was locked up for 5 days. The 1st night in, all kids would spend 24-hours in lock up alone. That was a concrete cell with no windows. The only way to tell day or night was by the meals. There was a concrete slab with an old worn out lumpy mattress that was about 3 inches thick in the lumpy parts. A toilet was so low to the floor you had to squat to sit on it. A sink with a small faucet that ran rusty dark water from it. No human contact at all. Meals were slid under the steel door 3 times a day. You laid in the dark the entire time except for meal time, which was 10 min duration. I came from a small town. Everybody knew everybody. My parents were wealthy and owned a few businesses one was a radio station. My dad had a morning talk show that most people listened to. So, when I was put in juvy, I was made to stay in lock up for 3 days instead of the usual 24 hours for everybody else..they told me that I was a spoiled rich kid and I needed to be knocked down from my high horse..
    I know being in prison and juvenile hall are worlds apart. But I sympathize for inmates (non violent) that are abused..being locked up and not having any freedom should be punishment enough.

I hope that Mr. Chrisley gets an appeal, and meanwhile his awareness helps to trigger much needed reform.

    I absolutely believe what he’s saying. I have a family member that’s mentally ill and ended up committing a crime (first time in their life) and is in a county jail. This family member ended up in the medical unit. The family member was in medical for 12 days and got 2 showers the entire time (asked everyday and was ignored). You are placed in a cell alone for 24 hours a day. The medical staff changed the bandages when they felt like it. The doctor that cleared to go back to general population looked at the wound through the door. When the person was back in general pop it was an even bigger fight to continue wound care.
    If you are in jail or prison they don’t give a rats ass about you. They blast the music/tv at all hours of night and day. They turn the lights on in the middle of the night and leave them on. I’ve never seen people get treated so poorly in my life.

    I just wanted to say this is very, very true! Unfortunately, I was incarcerated in a Pennsylvania state prison for about 3 years. Yes, I was guilty, and yes, I deserved to do my time. During that time, I worked in the state kitchen for quite some time. The boxes the "meat" come in, say not for human consumption. Things are very dated. There are rats running through the whole kitchen. Also, the elderly and sick get treated horrible. There was this very elderly lady in my housing unit and was starting to loose her mind, they treated her awful and were so abusive. She finally passed away in her cell. And it was from neglect on their part. The people with mental health people my heart goes out for. They have no idea how to truly help and take care of these humans, and they get stuck there because they will get wrote up all the time for different things and they will be in episodes and not medicated properly. Something definitely needs to be done for all institutions. We live in the United States of America and it's shameful. I know some people will say , well don't do anything wrong and or you deserve that. They are humans regardless and people deserve real food and proper medical and to not get abused. People go to jail for abuse, what does that teach those people? If you advertise authority it's OK? We are I'm America and you wouldn't think so in our jails.
    Edit.. also people are saying why care about some rich person complaining ect, it doesnt matter if your rich or poor or what color or gender you are everyone deserves to be treated fairly. And thankfully because of their popularity maybe they can get farther wwith this then some normal person with out an audience. ❤

    Let alone the fact that the investigators were able to lie and there was proof just shows you their no better but becz of their role they can get away with it and you don’t stand a chance! Then once your in you get expired food(what little you do get) and as you age and start to have serious health issues, oh well, to bad, you’ll have to suffer. Listening to him tell about the elderly gentleman that fell and they basically said oh well was beyond sad.

The is ZERO excuse for expired food!!! Our government needs to be called out for that!! Retaliation is UNACCEPTABLE as well!!

    As a former relation of a prisoner, I heard firsthand the conditions these inmates deal with. I was a victim of harassment after lodging a formal complaint against a warden whose sister and wife also worked in the administration section of the same prison ( nepotism much). Letters never arrived, money orders disappeared, phone calls were cut off, and visits cancelled. I was followed home, atvs revved up and down outside my property at 2 am. The more one trys to bring to light the terrible conditions and treatment the worse the retaliation. I am not a fan of Todd Chrisley at all but I do believe what he is saying. Its all too familiar to me.

    They do not give medicine in prison. My brother was in a federal prison for 27 yrs. and yes it is that bad. He had to have 2 teeth pulled and they did it with very little medicine. He was not completely numb and was given Tylenol for pain. He also had his neck sliced from ear to ear less than 1/4 inch from main artery. That was sewed up without 😊. There was so much stuff that was inhuman. You better believe that they will do what they need too to keep him quiet.

    No one is going to really understand what they are going through until they experience the trauma themselves. Walk a mile in their shoes! I've worked in facilities where we were trained how to deal with riots and self-defense-type things and were basically threatened NOT to be nice to those "incarcerated." The thought process was to scare the prisoners straight so they never want to return. However, many return because it's the first time in their life that there is some stability. Everything Savannah said brought back memories of what I saw with the nasty food, mold, filth, and lack of medical care. She's absolutely right! Humanity is most important! NO ONE should ever be tortured in prison! Prison is forcing someone to lose their freedom. That's it. Not to be put in dangerous, potentially fatal situations.

    This problem is not exclusive to that prison. My daughter was a psychologist in a prison and I have done some volunteer work at a jail. The way the prisoners are treated is atrocious. All food is labeled "not fit for human consumption" and expired. The mold and lack of cleaning supplies make the physical state of the prisons no better than during the Middle Ages. I am not exaggerating. Many ppl say "don't do the crime if you can't do the time". That is so ignorant. There are ppl held in jails that have not been convicted of anything. Also, these ppl still need to be treated like humans.

    • @kentuckygirl8369

      There were many days, when my daughter worked in a temporary capacity at a jail that housed 350 ppl, that there were only 4 officers working. They were so short-handed. It was also common that the inmates were not allowed to go out for rec for over weeks at a time because not enough officers working.

    It’s all true according to a family member that is in the correction department in Florida. He contracted Tuberculosis in jail and they refused medical care.

    Sadly prisons and jails have treated prisoners like this for ages and ages. In America. Watch Larry Lawton, his channel talks about how bad prisons are, he was in Federal prison too.

My son bought thermals and boxers they took them from him. the ADA can only help so much. This is in Utah. May God help us all Amen

    If we can give other countries Trillions of dollars that is reportedly not being properly accounted for. Then it is apparent that we should crack down on this problem, cut back on spending on other countries/wars government waste, and start allocating more funds for better prison food, facility maintenance and health care. On a separate note, It would also be nice if our federal government could allocate more funding for the non-prison elderly care (i.e. seniors with dementia) there is a TREMENDOUS need here!

    My brother wasn’t in prison but he was in jail over here in Fort Worth. They practically starve them. They are not allowed to even go outside and get any sun and that in itself is bad for the body ! They get no vitamin D3 and that can cause so many problems with the immune system and cause depression and high anxiety! My brother lost several pounds and I went to visit him I heard a young man talking to his father who was visiting him talking thru the glass he said “ dad they don’t even allow us to go outside there is no outside area we can’t work out all we do is stay in here and he told him that they barely get any food my brother confirmed that. Sad. And they’re are lots of really bad gang members in there!

    As someone who worked as an officer in two different prisons in two separate states I can say 100 percent what he stated is the exact truth. And it is about time people started speaking up about it. Officers especially female are not treated that well. And there have been wardens that have been escorted off the property and arrested by federal authorities for mistreatment and violations of civil rights the list goes on I have seen mistreatment first hand. And also there are people in prison for crimes they did not commit. Especially one I know of that was under educated due to rough times he is elderly can not hear they really close cases using this against them I can say about system failures but also too I worked where there were serial killers so system did not fail in a lot of cases but I did when investigator help a man who was convicted of a crime he didn't commit lost everything the man convicted of double homicide was fishing with friends had plenty of witnesses but was convicted because someone with very low IQ was intimidated beaten into saying he did it however after interviewing a serial killer in another state he confessed drew map told exactly what he done how they laid etc he knew details only the killer would know they the two girls were found in a battle field over grow. Turned into national park and the area they were found in no one else could have drew a map that was out there he did long story short state was sued the state troopers who were the investigators fired state sued cause federal over turned he was released immediately one man who had very little schooling elderly mistreated convicted of killing his estranged wife just because they were estranged so he had to be the one I can say in the many years I hear I didn't do it but In his case I knew for a fact he did not do it there needs to be a reform within the so called justice system
