At FPC, Chrisley is required to wear a uniform of white socks, black steel-toed boots, and matching green pants and shirt, according to documents obtained by TMZ.

Julie Chrisley, 49, and her husband Todd, 53, were sentenced to seven and 12 years in prison respectively – months after they were found guilty in their $30million tax fraud case

The pair were sentenced to a total of 19 years in prison in Atlanta last month, five months after their conviction. Todd and Julie will each serve 16 months of probation after their release.
Prosecutors said the couple used their illicit wealth to finance their lifestyle even before they became reality stars. Todd and Julia also used a production company to hide revenue from the IRS, attorneys argued.
During the dramatic trial earlier this year, a shocking statement from Chrisley’s former employee-turned-lover Mark Braddock revealed that he had a year-long gay affair with the reality star in the early 2000s – while they were both married to their respective wives.
Braddock sensationally turned against his ex-lover and business partner on the witness stand when he told the jury he not only witnessed the Chrisleys’ crimes, but helped commit them.
In his testimony, he not only admitted his role in the Chrisleys’ years-long fraud, but also his infidelity, which he is said to have kept from his wife for years before revealing it to the world on the witness stand. Braddock was granted immunity in exchange for his testimony.
