As per People , Savannah shared in an interview, “The retaliation is real. 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. 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.”

She exclaimed regarding her mother, “The conditions are awful. They’re deplorable. 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.”
As Todd navigates the complexities of prison life, the looming possibility of a transfer adds another layer of uncertainty to his already tumultuous journey. The concerns about potential retaliation and family separation underscore the challenges faced by individuals within the prison system, raising questions about the conditions and treatment of those serving sentences.
