Todd Chrisley Got FIRED From His Prison Job -- Here's Why!

Todd Chrisley got canned from his prison job!

As the reality star approaches the two-year mark of his 12-year prison sentence, we’re hearing he’s been a productive inmate at the Federal Prison Camp Pensacola… But perhaps a bit too chatty? According to his attorney Jay Surgent, the 55-year-old had a job at the prison chapel as an Assistant to the Chaplain in a small office next to the prison’s Residential Drug Abuse Program. But he recently got fired for “associating with inmates” who are members of said program! Why? Well, according to TMZ, Surgent feels prison officials didn’t want the Chrisley Knows Best alum communicating with the inmates because they only spend part of their sentence inside the pen and part of it out… So he feels they didn’t want Todd speaking about his incarceration with inmates who have access to the outside world — though it’s not clear what they talked about.

The attorney told People Todd is “very disappointed and upset that he can no longer participate in the administration of the set-up for religious services at Pensacola, which includes Christian, Jewish, and Muslim services.” He feels he was removed from duty “without cause” but it “has not affected his firm belief that in the end, God will work things out for him, Julie, and his family.”

The Federal Bureau of Prisons told TMZ in a statement:

“For privacy reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual, including their work detail assignments.”

Todd, who is openly very religious, is reportedly still able to attend religious services and hopes to get his job back ASAP.
