Todd is currently held at FCI Pensacola in Florida, while Julie serves time in a Kentucky federal facility. Savannah previously said (per People) that the ordeal has been “the most difficult part of my life,” and has been outspoken about the prison conditions, including access to medical diagnostics, wellness support, and chronic illness management services—especially the alleged retaliation her father has faced.
Savannah shared with E! News in March 2024, “The last time they spoke was the morning they went into federal prison,” adding that prison officials had been “blocking a lot of his email correspondence to my mom,” a possible violation of inmate rights under medical malpractice and mental wellness statutes.
Fighting for Freedom
Savannah has been on a mission to clear her parents’ names. In July 2024, she appeared at the Republican National Convention, pushing for justice and broader reforms in white-collar sentencing law, often tied to federal liability insurance. By February, she confirmed to People, “I know that I am going through the proper channels to do so, and I’m going to bring as much awareness to it as possible because these things should not happen.”
Julie’s case hit a brief turning point when her sentence was overturned in June 2024 after a three-judge panel cited procedural errors—often the focus of criminal defense attorneys and legal malpractice lawyers. However, by September, an Atlanta court reinstated her sentence. Speaking directly to the court, Julie tearfully apologized.
“I would like to say I’ve had years to think about what I’ve wanted to say and I’m sorry for my actions and situations that led us to where we are today,” she said. “I can’t ever repay my children for what they’ve had to go through and for that, I am so sorry.”
