Terry “Southwest T” Flenory, co-founder of the notorious Black Mafia Family (BMF), has been granted clemency by President Joe Biden, a move reflecting the broader initiative to pardon individuals who were released from prison and placed in home confinement during the coronavirus pandemic.
In 2008, Terry and his brother Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory were sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for their roles in operating an international drug trafficking operation. However, the COVID-19 pandemic changed everything, particularly due to the heightened health risks in prison settings.
Terry benefited from the pandemic’s leniency measures when he was released from federal prison in 2020 to complete his sentence under house arrest. Now, his sentence has been commuted following the president’s pardon. In a post on Instagram, Flenory celebrated the moment.
“It’s been a journey, but prayer and unwavering faith beyond mere human comprehension got us to this point,” along with a photo of his clemency affidavit and videos of him cutting off his house arrest device.
Flenory, known for his leadership within BMF alongside his brother, has been a high-profile figure, frequently featured in media and culture, including the Starz television series “BMF,” which dramatizes their lives. The show, largely filmed in Atlanta, is fitting given the criminal enterprise’s deep ties to the area. While his brother, Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, has not been pardoned, there have been changes in his incarceration status as well. In October, he was transferred to a residential reentry program in Miami, indicating a step toward eventual release. The brothers are pictured together in the post below.
