Already on the easy road! Julie Chrisley is sent to the MEDICAL CENTER near Minimum Security Prison, where she is to serve seven years
- The Chrisleys were spotted earlier this week driving to their respective prison locations in expensive vehicles
- Julie is set to serve a seven-year sentence while her husband Todd is set to serve 12 years for their various financial misdeeds
- At the end of last year, the couple was sentenced to several years in prison for multiple tax evasion and bank fraud
Julie Chrisley’s seven-year sentence for various financial crimes has already begun in style.
After pulling up in a black Escalade at Lexington, Kentucky’s Federal Medical Center earlier this week, Julie, 49, began her stay at the prison medical center.
It has been reported that Julie’s stay in the medical prison is not an indication that she is currently receiving medical treatment. TMZ reported that a source close to the Chrisleys confirmed that she does not require any medical attention at this time.
The facility is described as a medical center with a nearby minimum-security detention center where Julie will serve, according to a Bureau of Prisons representative.

It’s unclear why Julie’s prison location was switched at the last minute. She was originally scheduled to serve her seven-year sentence at FCI Marianna in Florida, which would have been closer to her husband Todd’s facility.
Todd began his 12-year prison sentence at the same time as Julie. He is serving at the federal prison camp in Pensacola, Florida.
Some fans of Julie speculated that her admission to a medical facility could portend a return of the breast cancer she battled in 2012. However, her condition had reportedly improved to the point that doctors advised her last year to stop taking anti-cancer drugs.
FMC Lexington is also currently home to another disgraced reality star – Jerry Harris of Netflix’s Cheer. The 23-year-old is serving a 12-year sentence for child pornography.
Julie and Todd have reportedly already begun adjusting to their new normal in their respective prison camps.
Julie was assigned her federal inmate number – 72601-019.
Meanwhile, Todd, 53, was caught surrendering at his Federal Prison Camp after arriving in a blacked-out Range Rover. He is prisoner number 72600-019.

The FPC has been described by Forbes as the second “most comfortable prison” in the United States, and legal experts likened it to a “college dorm room.”
Todd and Julie were found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion, as well as filing false documents with banks to take out loans allegedly more than $30 million to fund their opulent lifestyle.
They also used a production company to hide earnings from the IRS, attorneys argued.
Todd was sentenced to 12 years in prison and Julie to seven, with a 16-month probation period for both after their release.
