"There's no refrigerator, no knives, no staples other than a few spices from commissary," Julie wrote in a letter to her daughter Savannah.
Julie Chrisley revealed cooking in prison is not an easy endeavor and you have to work with what you have.
In fact, her daughter Savannah Chrisley recently revealed her mom had to get pretty crafty behind bars in order to cook up a storm for her inmates for Thanksgiving.
During a recent episode of her Unlocked podcast, Savannah, read a letter written by Julie to her last November in a series coined "Prison Diaries".

There was chips and dip. Several ladies made dessert. It doesn't sound like much, but cooking anything in here is a chore."
"Y'all, I don't even know how she -- oh god," the 26-year-old said on the podcast in a lighthearted tone before reading on where Julie detailed the difficult process.

"There really are some great women in here. We are all so different however prison unites you in a way," she noted.

In other letters, Savannah revealed that her mother asked her children not to visit her on Christmas Day in prison.
"I do not want them to ever have that memory of sitting in a prison visitation room on Christmas," Julie shared in a letter, and thought Savannah did a "great job" making the holiday season feel festive for the family.
The 51-year-old is currently serving a now-reduced-five-year prison sentence in Kentucky for bank fraud and tax evasion. Julie's husband Todd is also serving a sentence for their financial crimes, however his is for 10-years at Federal Prison Camp Pensacola in Florida.
