Todd and Julie Chrisley will serve out their sentences at separate prisons in Florida and Kentucky, respectively
The day has come for disgraced reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley to meet their fate and serve time behind bars after being found guilty of tax evasion and defrauding banks out of more than $30million last summer.
The couple have reported to their respective prisons today to begin their combined 19-year sentences separately in Florida and Kentucky.
Exclusive DailyMail.com photos show Julie, 49, turning herself in at the Federal Medical Center (FMC) in Lexington, Kentucky where she will serve seven years behind bars.
She was seen arriving at the facility in the back of a black Cadillac Escalade with her father Harvey Hughes and an unknown driver late Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile, a short time later 650 miles away, Todd, 53, was snapped surrendering at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) in Pensacola, Florida, after arriving in a blacked out Range Rover.
The vehicle carrying Julie, who tried to avoid detection from the back seat, was seen heading into the facility before disappearing through the massive infrastructure of the Federal Prison and the hills that block views into the prison.

Julie was the first to report to prison where she will serve seven years behind bars for tax evasion and fraud. Her husband Todd will spend 12 years at a separate facility in Florida

Approximately 15 minutes later the luxury SUV was spotted leaving the property and a visibly upset Harvey Hughes could be seen crying through the window.
Later on Tuesday, Todd was photographed arriving at FPC to start his 12-year prison sentence where he also held up a pillow up to conceal his face
FPC Pensacola is known to have housed some notable inmates over the years, including Chris Collins, who had been convicted of insider trading, but was later pardoned by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
But the camp has been described as ‘comfortable’ compared to other prisons, according to a report by WGRZ-TV in October 2020.
It was compared to a ‘college dorm room,’ with one expert telling the broadcaster that ‘if you have to do federal prison time, that’s the place to be.’
‘There aren’t any barbed wire fences and so on. There’s obviously security and guards but it’s not a place that you’re going to find serious, dangerous criminals and so on,’ he said.

In contrast to his previous lavish lifestyle, Todd will only be allowed to own personal property items which ‘do not exceed the value of $100 per item’

An admission and orientation manual accessible on the prison’s website published in January 2018 said that the facility has athletic fields, including basketball and volleyball courts.
It also offers educational opportunities and vocational training, and communal television viewing rooms for inmates.
In contrast to his previous lavish lifestyle, Todd will only be allowed to own personal property items which ‘do not exceed the value of $100 per item.’
It comes after the Chrisleys were seen enjoying their final days of freedom with a ‘goodbye tour’ around Tennessee on Monday.
DailyMail.com spotted Julie, 49, this weekend stopping at three different furniture stores and grocery shopping with daughter Savannah, 25, and mother Pam Hughes.
It was business as usual for Julie, who was dressed casually in an all black velour tracksuit, as she filled her shopping cart at a local Publix with sodas, snacks and laundry detergent. Her hefty grocery haul seems odd considering she’ll be far from her Brentwood, Tennessee, mansion for the next seven years.
Instead, she’ll be reporting to FMC Lexington in Kentucky tomorrow, while her husband Todd will be reporting to FPC Pensacola to begin their combined 19-year sentence for tax evasion and fraud.

And just the day before, exclusive DailyMail.com photos showed the Chrisleys enjoying what could be their last meal as a family.
The couple went out to lunch with daughters Savannah and Chloe, son Chase and his fiancée Emmy Medders, and Todd’s mother Faye.
The reality show family had lunch at Taqueria del Sol, where they were seen greeting each other with warm hugs and smiles before sitting outside on a canopy covered deck.
Notably absent from the goodbye tour was Todd’s daughter Lindsie, 33, despite her showing support earlier this week when she was seen leaving a courthouse in Atlanta after her father and stepmother’s bond was denied.
DailyMail.com revealed last month that Lindsie filed a report against her father and gave a lengthy interview to the FBI, sharing shocking allegations of harassment, physical violence and blackmail against her famous family.

Chrisley Knows Best first hit the air in 2014 and in May 2022, was renewed. This came just a month before the couple was convicted by a federal journey
Todd and Julie were found guilty on federal charges of bank fraud and tax evasion and submitting false documents to banks to take out loans, reportedly more than $30 million worth, to finance their opulent lifestyle.
They also used a production company to hide income from the IRS, lawyers argued.
Todd was ordered to serve 12 years in prison, and Julie to serve seven, with a 16-month probation period for both upon their release.
Julie will swap her closets of designer clothes for a full khaki uniform at the Kentucky prison.
Todd is set to begin his sentence at FPC Pensacola, a minimum-security prison in Florida long known for being one of the cushiest prisons in the country.
But despite its reputation, the disgraced Chrisley Knows Best star will still be forced to live within a strict schedule that will see him waking at 4.45am daily, making his bed with military precision, and working a prison job all morning and into the afternoon.
The star will be allowed up to five visitors at a time during evening visiting hours on Fridays, and during the day on weekends.
