Reality TV star Julie Chrisley joins Greta Van Susteren for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about prison, family, faith, and second chances.
Julie opens up about her upbringing, marriage to Todd Chrisley, the rise of the Chrisley family brand, and the years-long legal battle that ultimately led to prison sentences for both her and her husband.
She shares emotional details about entering federal prison, being unable to speak with Todd for 28 months, the friendships she formed behind bars, the conditions she witnessed inside the system, and the unforgettable moment she learned she had been granted a presidential pardon.
Watch as Julie reflects on one of the most difficult chapters of her life and explains how she found purpose, perspective, and hope on the other side.
