Big Meech, founder of the notorious street organization and record label Black Mafia Family (BMF), has been released from prison after two decades behind bars.
On Wednesday, October 16th, a report from TMZ confirmed Big Meech had been released and transferred to a halfway house in Florida, where he will serve the remainder of his sentence ahead of his scheduled release in 2025. Big Meech, whose real name is Demetrius Flenory, was transferred from FCI Coleman Low to community confinement overseen by the Federal Bureau of Prison’s Miami Residential Reentry Management office. Brittany K. Barnett, the lawyer of the former BMF kingpin and co-founder of the Buried Alive Project, released a statement to confirm reports that Flenory has been released from prison under several conditions. Though Flenory’s legal counsel didn’t go into detail about the specifics of the provisions of Meech’s release, she did offer a glimpse into the plight the Detroit native has faced throughout the duration of his lengthy prison term.
