Big Meech released from prison to serve five years of supervised release

Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory has been released from prison but will serve five years of supervised release after completing his sentence in a halfway house. He must adhere to restrictions on drug and alcohol use. Big Meech, co-founder of the Black Mafia Family, was sentenced to 30 years in 2008 for drug trafficking and money laundering. His sentence was reduced earlier this year, allowing for his current release. He was transferred from a federal prison in Florida to a halfway house, where he will finish his sentence. Celebrities, including LeBron James, have publicly welcomed his return.
