Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley have officially reported to prison to begin their respective sentences.

Todd, 54, checked in to Federal Prison Camp Pensacola, a minimum-security facility in Pensacola, Florida, to begin his 12-year sentence, People reported.

His wife Julie, 50, reported to Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky, Us Weekly confirmed. She was originally set to serve her seven-year sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution and Federal Prison Camp Marianna in Jackson County, Florida, but was re-designated to the Kentucky facility in December 2022.

A rep for the Chrisleys had no further comment, according to People.

A day before surrendering for his sentence, Todd shared a message about his faith with his Instagram followers. "HE is always on time ... #fightthegoodfight," he wrote alongside a clip of southern gospel singer Karen Peck performing "Four Days Late," according to Us Weekly.

Todd and Julie were convicted on multiple counts including conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud and conspiracy to commit tax evasion in June 2022. The jury convicted Julie of an additional charge of obstruction of justice.

The Chrisleys were sentenced to a combined prison term of 19 years in November last year. Both Todd and Julie have also been ordered to serve an additional 16 months of probation following release from prison.

Earlier this month, the couple asked for bail and the chance to delay the start of their sentences by 21 days. However, their requests were denied.

The "Chrisley Knows Best" stars are currently in the process of appealing their convictions.

"Their trial was marred by serious and repeated errors, including the government lying to jurors about what taxes the couple paid. Based on these issues, we are optimistic about the road ahead," their attorney Alex Little of Burr & Forman said, in part, in a statement to People.

The couple previously opened up about their sentences in an episode of the "Chrisley Confessions" podcast.

According to Julie, they have been living every day as if it's their "last" and relying on their faith.

"Age is just a number, and since we don't know our death date, we have to live every day as if it's our last," Julie said, reading a quote by author Priscilla Shirer, Us Weekly reported.

"Yesterday doesn't matter. Today is what we have. Tomorrow belongs to God, because we're not promised tomorrow," Todd added, echoing his spouse's sentiments. "What God calls us through, he will walk us through."
