Todd Chrisleymay be finding a new prison to call home as he carries out the remainder of his sentence.

In an interview onChris Cuomo’sNewsNationshowCuomo,Savannah Chrisleyalleged that her father has been facing “retaliation” for speaking out about the terrible living conditions he and his fellow prisoners have faced in their time at the Pensacola Federal Prison Camp.

“Theretaliation is real,” she told the outlet. “It is heartbreaking for me to watch as his daughter, but they have even gone to the extent of stating that they will try to ship him to a state facility because our federal institutions cannot guarantee his safety.”

“The BoP has called me a liar numerous times, but I have all the information to back it up,” she continued. “And these letters, I mean, I even have recordings of them speaking about shipping my father … but they have to have a good reason to. They have to find something he’s in violation of.”

Savannah alleged the facility has gone to the “the extent of planting cell phones, drugs, going through his lockers” in order to “send him to a facility and truly behind bars.” The podcast host also claimed Todd’s wifeJulie Chrisley’s living conditions haven’t been great either.

“The conditions are awful. They’re deplorable,” she said onCuomoof her mother’s time behind bars. “The fact that she’s in Kentucky, it’s 30 degrees. She’s going without heat. They will do a temporary fix and then they’ll be without it again. There was also a dead bird in the water where their water comes from. So, it’s tough.”

PEOPLE has reached out to the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Pensacola Federal Prison Camp for comment.

Last month, Todd described hisdeplorable living conditionsin a conversation with his first-ever prison interview withNewsNation.

“You’ve got rats, you’ve got squirrels in the storage facility where the food is,” he claimed. “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.”

PEOPLE reached out to the Pensacola Federal Prison Camp for comment at the time but never received a response. However, in a statement toET, a spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons said its mission is to “operate facilities that are safe, secure, and humane” and that “humane treatment of the men and women in our custody is a top priority.”
