Chrisley Knows Best star Todd Chrisley has landed himself in hot water behind bars while serving his sentence at Federal Prison Camp Pensacola. The reality star, who was indicted on 12 counts of tax evasion, fraud, and conspiracy, was recently removed from his position at the prison chapel. The reason for Chrisley’s removal was his alleged association with inmates who are part of the prison’s Residential Drug Abuse Program.
While speaking with PEOPLE, Chrisley’s attorney, Jay Surgent confirmed that the reality TV star has lost access to his office in the chapel where he did his volunteer work. According to Surgent, Todd Chrisley was extremely disappointed that he could no longer participate in the administration of the set-up for religious services at Pensacola.

The attorney also reported that Chrisley enjoyed organizing religious services for inmates of all faiths — including Christian, Muslim, and Jewish — and hopes that he can get his job back.
