Todd Chrisley may have been fired from his chapel duties while serving his prison sentence, but he’s still helping inmates inside FPC Pensacola.
Chrisley, 55, was booted from his job at the chapel over his gift of gab; however, his attorney, Jay Surgent, exclusively told The Post that Todd is and will continue to counsel his fellow prisoners both mentally and spiritually on his own time.
Todd has been dedicated to the pastime since he started speaking out against the alleged retaliation he’s faced behind bars.
The Post is also told that Todd has not been reassigned to a different job or department.
“He spent a significant amount of time counseling and doing chapel work while he’s been incarcerated,” Surgent said on Thursday. “It’s been his major job and his major concern.”
Surgent also revealed that the former “Chrisley Knows Best” star is not stuck in his cell during the time he would be doing his chapel duties, noting that the prison is a minimum-security facility.
While Todd “loved that position,” he’s still focused on helping other incarcerated individuals.
The ex-reality star — currently serving time after being convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion — “has a leadership position” among inmates.
“He does a lot of counseling, psychological as well as religious counseling,” Surgent shared, adding, “He’s got a lot of leadership qualities and a lot of notoriety” inside prison.
“They [inmates] come to him for advice,” his attorney confirmed.
“He has a really strong belief in God,” Surgent said. “Ultimately, things are going to work out for him.”
Chrisley was fired from his chaplain’s assistant job after prison officials at the Florida facility noticed that the reality star was “getting too chatty with certain inmates,” Surgent told TMZ.
His duties included organizing religious services and celebrations for Christian, Muslim and Jewish inmates. Surgent shared that Chrisley had been “doing a good job” before he got canned.
The former “Chrisley Knows Best” patriarch is “very disappointed and upset that he can no longer participate in the administration of the setup for religious services at Pensacola, which includes Christian, Jewish and Muslim services,” Surgent told People.
But Todd remains committed to “help inmates reach their religious needs,” he shared with The Post, adding that Chrisley is “going to continue” to counsel inmates.
An FPC Pensacola spokesperson would not comment on the matter, telling TMZ “for privacy reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual, including their work detail assignments.”
Todd and his wife, Julie, are serving reduced sentences at separate prisons after being convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion in 2022.
Todd and his wife, Julie, are serving reduced sentences at separate prisons after being convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion in 2022.
Todd is expected to be released in June 2032, while Julie is set for release from her prison in Lexington, Kentucky, in April 2028.
Julie had a recent setback at her resentencing hearing last month after a judge ruled to uphold her 84-month sentence.
Surgent told The Post that the couple was “extremely disappointed” with the decision and that Todd was “concerned about Julie’s health and welfare.”
