Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory is out of federal prison.
The former drug lord—who gained notoriety as the co-founder of the Black Mafia Family criminal enterprise—was released from FCI Coleman Low in Florida Oct. 15, Federal Bureau of Prisons officer Scott Taylor said in a statement to E! News.
Following Flenory’s release, the 56-year-old was transferred to community confinement—which consists of either home confinement or a halfway house—the officer told E! News. His projected release date is now January 27, 2026.
Flenory co-founded his drug dealing business alongside his younger brother, Terry Lee “Southwest Tee” Flenory, in Detroit in the 1980s, according to Newsweek. Per the outlet, the business eventually grew into a national enterprise, distributing over $270 million worth of cocaine throughout the U.S. before the brothers’ arrest in 2005. They both pleaded guilty to running a continuing criminal enterprise two years later, and were sentenced to 30 years in prison.
