Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, the co-founder of the infamous Black Mafia Family (BMF) crime organization, has been released from federal prison and transferred to community confinement in Florida. According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Flenory was moved from FCI Coleman Low in Wildwood to a residential reentry facility under the supervision of the BOP’s Miami Residential Reentry Management Office.
Big Meech was arrested in 2005 and sentenced in 2008 to 30 years in prison for his involvement in drug trafficking and money laundering. However, his sentence was reduced by nearly three years earlier this year, paving the way for his recent release. While it’s not yet confirmed when he will complete his sentence officially, his move to a more comfortable reentry program signals the final phase of his incarceration.
Brittany K. Barnett, his attorney and co-founder of the Buried Alive Project, expressed joy at his release, emphasizing how Meech has focused on personal growth during his nearly two decades behind bars. She also highlighted his opportunity to begin a new chapter of his life.
Meanwhile, 50 Cent has been instrumental in keeping the BMF story alive through a highly successful TV series and docuseries. The show has seen guest appearances from major figures in Hip Hop, including Snoop Dogg, 2 Chainz, Lil Baby, Yung Miami, and even Eminem. Big Meech’s son, Lil Meech, has also made a name for himself as an actor, starring in the series.
With the fourth season of the BMF series already greenlit, fans are left wondering if Big Meech will make an appearance in future episodes now that he’s out of federal prison.
