#Socialites, get into this! Todd Chrisley, the former star of “Chrisley Knows Best,” has recently made a shocking claim about his living conditions in Federal Prison Camp, Pensacola, Florida. According to Chrisley, a dead cat fell from the ceiling into his prison food, leaving him appalled and disgusted. Chrisley asserts that he’s been trying his best to get good meals but claims an employee is intentionally making it difficult for him to use his own money at the commissary.
Chrisley, 54, claimed during a recent interview on Chris Cuomo’s CUOMO show, “The food is dated and it’s out of date by, at minimum, a year. It’s a year past expiration. And they’re literally starving these men to death here. These men are getting — I don’t know — they are getting 1,000 calories a day.” He went on to say, “You’ve got rats, you’ve got squirrels in the storage facility where the food is. They just covered it up with plastic and then tore the ceiling out because of all the black mold and found a dead cat in the ceiling, and it dropped down on the top of the food,” he claimed.
The reality star went on to say, “I’ve been told this by a staff member — one of the ways she’s trying to break me is by cutting down what you can buy in commissary,” he explained. “So, before she came here, you could buy 12 packs of tuna a week. She cut it down to six, and from six it went to three. She has not given a reason. When I asked her about it, she said commissary is a privilege, not a right.” While it seems like he’s just having a very tough time in the slammer, the Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) is responding to his shocking claims.
In a statement to TMZ, the (FBOP) says the food at the facility is safe and edible… despite Todd claiming otherwise. FBOP adds that their “food service mission aims to provide healthy, nutritionally sound, and appetizing meals that meet the needs of every individual.”
The Pensacola prison has been described as a “minimum security federal prison camp,” according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Even in 2009, Forbes listed FPC Pensacola as the second “cushiest” prison in America.
