Todd and Julie Chrisley's children Savannah and Chase claim their parents are being held in "inhumane conditions" while serving time in prison.
On the podcast Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley, Chase said he had just visited his dad and heard about the "nightmare" the Chrisley Knows Best star is allegedly experiencing, while Savannah noted that their mom Julie had also been locked down in similar conditions.
"Now they both have no air conditioning. They both live in states where it gets to 100 plus degrees and there's no air conditioning," said Chase. Savannah added, "And now Mom has rattlesnakes slithering on the floor in front of her."
Chase clarified that the snakes weren't rattlesnakes, but another dangerous kind, which he believed to be a moccasin. "Yeah, so she just had snakes literally right there where her bed is," Savannah interjected upon her brother's correction.
Chase noted that nobody should suffer from these conditions, no matter the crime they've committed, saying, "I don't care if you've killed somebody, if you're in a government facility, you should have air conditioning."
Savannah added, "Air conditioning is just the least of it, whenever you've got black mold, asbestos, lead-based paint, snakes…."
"It's not Fear Factor," quipped Chase. "I mean, Chase, it is prison, so we're not gonna sit here and act like it should be the Four Seasons," noted Savannah.

After the claims given by the Chrisley children alarmed listeners, Donald Murphy, a representative from the Federal Bureau of Prisons Office of Public Affairs clarified the alleged conditions that prisoners are kept in, in a statement shared with Fox News.
"We can assure you all AICs have unlimited access to drinking water and the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is monitoring the ventilation at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Pensacola and the Federal Medical Center (FMC) Lexington, as one of our highest priorities is the safety of BOP employees and AICs (adults in custody)," said Murphy.
He continued, "Every BOP facility, including FPC Pensacola and FMC Lexington have contingency plans to address a large range of concerns or incidents, including ventilation temperatures, and is fully equipped and prepared to implement these plans as necessary."
The Chrisleys are currently serving time in prison for tax evasion. Todd is expected to be in prison for 12 years, while Julie will serve 7.
