According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, co-founder of the notorious Black Mafia Family drug trafficking organization, will serve the remainder of his sentence in a reintegration program in Miami.

Flenory, 56, was originally sentenced to 30 years in prison after being convicted in 2008 of drug trafficking and money laundering. He was recently transferred to the residential program in Miami.

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson brought the story of Flenory and his brother Terry Flenory to Starz in an eight-part series “BMF” in 2021. The series delved into the brothers' backstory in the 1980s, as they emerged from inner-city Detroit as wealthy drug lords embraced by hip hop culture.

Demetrius Flenory was arrested in 2005. His sentence ends on Jan. 27, 2026, according to the federal prison website. Until then, he will be monitored by the Inpatient Reintegration Center in Miami, which is responsible for providing federal offenders with community-based services to help them reintegrate.

Terry Flenory, 54, is serving his sentence on similar charges at a Detroit rehabilitation center. His release date is August 17, 2025, according to the federal prison website.

Demetrius Flenory's attorney, Brittany K. Barnett, did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment about his transfer to Miami.
