00:14.137 --> 00:25.423
[SPEAKER_01]: Julie, fifty-two, and her husband Todd Chrysley, fifty-six, were released from prison in late May after receiving partisans from President Donald Trump following their twenty-twenty-two bank fraud and tax evasion permissions.

00:26.264 --> 00:31.667
[SPEAKER_01]: In a joint interview about their experience, Julie confessed her physical condition rapidly defined behind bars.

00:48.695 --> 00:55.198
[SPEAKER_01]: During an interview with ABC News, which aired on Hulu on June twenty-eight, Julie said, I could see my health deteriorated.

00:56.200 --> 01:02.103
[SPEAKER_01]: Her recent claims echoed comments or daughters of Anna Chrisley made about visiting the Kentucky Prison on her online podcast.

01:02.844 --> 01:09.088
[SPEAKER_01]: Savannah, who worked overtime to free her parents, said, in the visitation room, thank goodness there's air conditioning.

01:09.348 --> 01:17.312
[SPEAKER_01]: But outside the visitation room, there is zero air conditioning, and the heat index was between one hundred five and one hundred ten degrees.

01:18.193 --> 01:24.777
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what moms living in, in conditions like that, with absolutely no air, and it can be one hundred degrees inside the building.

01:25.678 --> 01:29.960
[SPEAKER_01]: Continued Savannah, she literally said that she got physically sick because she got so hot.

01:30.801 --> 01:34.043
[SPEAKER_01]: So you have these women who are suffering from heat exhaustion and they're passing out.

01:34.363 --> 01:39.145
[SPEAKER_01]: But yet, you know, there are service dogs at the same facility that have air conditioning.

01:40.086 --> 01:41.627
[SPEAKER_01]: None of it makes sense to me.

01:42.087 --> 01:43.388

[SPEAKER_01]: It's a year past expiration.

02:13.764 --> 02:15.844
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're literally starving these men to death here.

02:16.745 --> 02:20.525
[SPEAKER_01]: These men are getting, I don't know, they're getting one thousand calories a day.

02:21.366 --> 02:22.946
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been told this by a staff member.

02:23.286 --> 02:26.927
[SPEAKER_01]: One of the ways she's trying to break me is by cutting down what you can buy in commissar.

02:27.987 --> 02:31.710
[SPEAKER_01]: So, before she came here, you could buy twelve packs of tuna a week.

02:32.650 --> 02:35.212
[SPEAKER_01]: She cut it down to six, and from six it went to three.

02:36.172 --> 02:37.373
[SPEAKER_01]: She is not given a reason.

02:38.113 --> 02:42.436
