How Long Has Big Meech Been Locked Up? Prison Release Date Explained

As a dedicated fan of BMF and a follower of Big Meech‘s story, I must say it’s been a long and arduous journey for him. Yet, his resilience and determination are truly inspiring. It’s heartening to see that despite serving 16 years behind bars, he has continued to strive for personal growth, earning his GED and excelling in prison classes. His dedication to staying out of trouble speaks volumes about his character.


Many are curious about how much time Big Meech has spent in prison so far, following the announcement that the leader of the Black Mafia Family, Demetrius Flenory, also known as Big Meech, will be released from incarceration earlier than anticipated. At 56 years old, Big Meech is famously depicted by his son, Demetrius Flenory Jr., in the popular Starz crime series BMF, which is executive-produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. Here’s when Big Meech will be released from prison and where he currently resides before completing his sentence.

How long has Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory been in jail?

As I sit here, after serving over a decade and a half behind bars since 2008, I can’t help but reflect on the circumstances that led me to this point. Convicted of operating a criminal enterprise and money laundering, I was handed a 30-year sentence. It’s been a long road, but I remain hopeful for my future.

In October 2005, Big Meech was apprehended following a raid by the DEA on the Black Mafia Family (BMF), which resulted in the arrest of 30 members. During this operation, approximately $2 million in cash, assets, firearms, and around 2.5 kilograms of cocaine were confiscated.

After a reduction to 20 years from his initial 30-year sentence, as reported by Black Enterprise, a judge further shortened his term by three years in 2024. This decision came after Flenory’s attorney, Brittany K. Barnett, presented a compelling argument that he had maintained a positive lifestyle during his imprisonment. Notably, this included staying out of trouble since 2021, earning his GED, and excelling in prison education programs.

When will Big Meech be free from jail?

According to reports from The Associated Press and federal prison authorities, Big Meech is expected to leave prison on January 27, 2026.

As I sit here, gaming away, I can’t help but think about Demetrius Flenory. In essence, he’s not exactly behind bars anymore. You see, he’ll complete the rest of his sentence at a residential reentry center in Miami, as per the Federal Bureau of Prisons. This place is unique; it offers community-based services to federal offenders as they transition back into society.

Terry Flenory, aged 54, who is currently serving a comparable sentence, resides in a transitional living facility in Detroit. Terry Flenory’s release date from prison is set for August 17, 2025.

BMF Season 4 could be released as early as 2025.
