Roommates, Big Meech is reportedly one step closer to being home. The Shade Room recently received confirmation from a Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesperson about the status of Demetrius Flenory’s imprisonment.
What To Know About Big Meech’s Transfer
The former Black Mafia Family leader has been transferred from FCI Coleman prison in Florida to community confinement. HuffPost Editor Phil Lewis first reported the transfer on X on Oct. 16.
Additionally, his inmate record indicates that he’s no longer in “BOP custody,” meaning the Federal Bureau of Prisons. A spokesperson confirmed the same information to The Shade Room via phone. The 56-year-old’s listed release date on his inmate record is Jan. 27, 2026.
Furthermore, The Shade Room contacted Lil Meech Jr. for comment about his father’s reported release but has yet to hear back from the actor. TSR also contacted Big Meech’s lawyer, Brittany, for comment who opted to speak off the record.
More details on his transfer are still pending, but community confinement in his case could indicate home confinement or confinement to a halfway house, per Lewis. He will reportedly be in home confinement in Florida.
Here’s A Recap Of His Time Behind Bars
Big Meech was first arrested in 2005, along with more than 100 others, in a well-known drug bust, per VIBE. In 2008, the court sentenced him to 30 years in prison for drug trafficking, money laundering, and conspiracy charges.
Earlier this year, reports surfaced of Meech’s possible early release, and 32 months were dropped from his sentence, per Hot 97. In February, his son Lil Meech told ‘The Morning Hustle’ hosts that his father was at FCI Coleman, a low-security facility.
