Paperny emphasized that as difficult as prison will undoubtedly be for the Chrisleys, life on the outside –- without their parents –- will be just as hard, if not harder on their kids. If they want to keep the family close, he said, they need to put their discomfort second and their kids first. “They need to prove worthy of the love and support they continue to receive,” he added.
