The infamous co-founder of the Black Mafia Family criminal enterprise has emerged from behind bars… and is now finishing his sentence in a more comfortable environment in Florida.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons told TMZ… Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory was transferred Tuesday from FCI Coleman Low in Wildwood to community confinement supervised by the BOP’s Office of Residential Reentry Management in Miami.
Our sources say Big Meech is now serving his sentence in a halfway house.
Big Meech was arrested in 2005 and in 2008 was sentenced to 30 years in prison after being convicted on charges related to drug trafficking and money laundering. Earlier this year, a judge reduced the sentence by almost 3 years.
It’s unclear when Big Meech will officially end his sentence… but the important thing here is that he’s no longer in federal prison.
Brittany K. Barnett, Big Meech’s attorney and co-founder of the Buried Alive Project, tells TMZ … she’s “very happy” that Flenory is free after nearly 20 years behind bars, and that he used his time in prison to focus on his own personal growth and now he has the opportunity to start a new chapter in his life.
About that, 50 cents has been a pioneer in keeping the BMF story alive…delivering a series of documentaries and a successful TV series – even turning Meech’s son, Lil Meechinto a legitimate actor.
Hip Hop has rallied around “BMF” for years… Snoop Dogg, 2 chains, Lil baby, YungMiami and even Eminem He was a guest star on the series, which now has 3 seasons.
It will be interesting to see if Big Meech comes out in time for the upcoming fourth series, which has already been greenlit.
Stay tuned…
