The couple have reported to their respective prisons today to begin their combined 19-year sentence separately in Florida and Kentucky.
Exclusive DailyMail.com photos show Julie, 49, turning herself in at the Federal Medical Center (FMC) in Lexington, Kentucky where she will serve seven years behind bars.
She was seen arriving at the facility in the back of a black Cadillac Escalade with her father Harvey Hughes and an unknown driver late Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile, a short time later 650 miles away, Todd, 53, was snapped surrendering at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) in Pensacola, Florida, after arriving in a blacked out Range Rover.
