Savannah Chrisley is convinced that her parents, Todd And Julie Chrisleywill leave prison sooner or later.
“[I’m] I look forward to our call on April 19,” said 26-year-old Savannah Entertainment tonight in an interview on Thursday, March 14. “Obviously I hope to have them home, maybe later in the summer.”
Since Savannah’s parents reported to prison in 2023, she has been busy raising her two younger siblings, Grayson, 17, and Chloe, 11, and advocating for her mom and dad on social media.
“I’m just trying to do everything,” Savannah told the outlet. “Raising a 17- and 11-year-old is a full-time job, but I also have to work and try to create a life for them, and fight with lawyers day in and day out to get my parents home.”
She added that when her parents come home soon, she plans to join in Kim Kardashian’s footsteps and going to law school so she can continue fighting for those who need a voice.
“I would do that when my mother got home,” she explained. “I told Grayson I would do it. So when Mom comes home, obviously it will be her and Chloe, or if Mom and Dad both come home, then I would definitely go back to school and try to become a lawyer. It’s never too late to follow your dreams. If I could be a lawyer by the time I’m 30 or 32, maybe I could do it.”
Todd, 54, and Julie, 51, were first indicted in 2019 on charges of tax evasion, bank and wire fraud and conspiracy. After a lengthy process, the Chrisley knows best The couple was found guilty in June 2022.

In 2023, their sentences were reduced, with Todd now serving ten years, while Julie will serve five years.
“I think that makes me feel better about it, because I know this is not my final destination,” Todd said during a pre-recorded January episode of the “Chrisley Confessions” podcast, which was posted after he arrived at prison. . “I know this may be my future for a while, but I also have faith that the legal system will change this. I am also confident that the court of appeal will see this for what it is.”
Savannah’s passion for advocacy began shortly after seeing her parents behind bars. “Why do we keep letting people down? It tears families apart,” she said in November 2022 on her “Unlocked” podcast. “Look at everything we’re going through. How is that fair? It’s not like there are rapists and murderers and human traffickers and all these people here, but still, what? They just get a slap on the wrist.”
She continued: “It all comes down to the fact that we are in the public eye and someone wants to prove a point. And it’s honestly sad. At this point I feel like I’ve become a little numb to it for me, but that numbness has turned into anger, to where now it’s like I won’t give up. There is no other option.”
