Former Fall River mayor moved from prison but remains in custody

Описание: Convicted former Fall River Mayor Jasiel Correia is out from behind bars but nearly a year from being free.

A Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesman confirms to NBC 10 News that Correia was moved Tuesday “to community confinement” overseen by the prison system’s New York Residential Reentry Office.

“Community confinement means the individual was in either home confinement or a Residential Reentry Center (RRC, or halfway house),” according to the statement.

In 2021, Correia was sentenced to six years in prison on corruption charges.

Prosecutors said Correia was running a pay-to-play scheme with prospective marijuana dispensary businesses while he was mayor.

Correia’s prison release date is now listed as July 11, 2026. It was previously Oct. 29, 2026.
