BMF Co-Founder Demetrius ‘Big Meech’ Flenory Sr. Released From Prison To Community Confinement

Co-founder of the Black Mafia Family, Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, was released from prison to community confinement.

The story of Demetrius and Terry Flenory became the subject of 50 Cent’s hit show BMF centered around Black Mafia Family co-founders Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory.

BMF reportedly had hundreds of members nationwide and made over $250 million between 1989 and 2005.

Federal agents came knocking in 2005 and Southwest T and Big Meech were arrested and ultimately sentenced to 30 years for drug trafficking and money laundering. Southwest T was released from prison in early 2020 due to COVID-19 precautions to protect inmates with health issues, and now his brother is out as well.

According to Fox 5 Atlanta, Big Meech was released from prison to community confinement, likely a halfway house. Meech’s official release date is January 2026 but the transfer is enough for the culture to declare he’s home. The transfer became possible earlier this year after a judge shortened Demetrius’ sentence by three years.

Before anyone plans a celebration they keep in mind Meech will likely stay in community confinement until 2026. Hopefully, he can continue working on “BMF” alongside 50 Cent from the halfway house and begin new projects.
