Life sentence in halfway house?

[JoeCamel]

There are a few examples of guys like Greg Scarpa JR or more to my point Anthony Casso Who according to BOP locator were in a RRM/RRC. Under the first step act of 2007 I believe if you show a low chance or recidivism you can be transferred there, but Anthony Casso? How the fuck did pull that? Reward for the Mafia Cops? Prostate cancer treatment?

Any other examples of guys doing life in an RRC? I heard a Boston Rumor that Stevie Flemmi got to go to one after testifying on Connelly as his big reward and to this day remains at one dusted off to testify against Whitey and Frank Salemme. Literally gets to go down the park on supervision, go to a corner diner and have coffee, goes grocery shopping for the other informants, elderly convicts, and sex offenders that are in the same kind of of limbo. Light at the end of the tunnel for some I guess. Maybe a good incentive for lifers to testify and play by the rules. Anyone have any information on how often this is in practice? I can assume not enough that people know much about it.

This is all legal under first step 2007, so I assume it happens a lot more then we hear about, especially with Lifer cooperators. Like I asked, anymore examples you can think of?

Both were cooperaters are there any other examples

Weird Steve flemmi never got out I always thought he would Howie Carr says he in a mini camp prison in update ny

He’s never been in the BOP locater, and like I said I heard that around the time he popped up in the Salemme trial. Some halfway house somewhere in Florida where he putters around the block, feed pigeons,gets to sit on a park bench with a BOP official who shadows him everywhere and talk to whoever will listen. They can never really let him go because of everything he knows and people he can still hurt.

Basically occasional field trips. One of his daughters was willing to let him come live with her but I think Florida state parole board shut it down and would parole him. I’m sure the feds would let him go if it was just up to them (hence RRM digs, best they can legally do for him to keep his mouth shut and keep him happy

[JoeCamel]

No way to confirm it. I’m not saying it’s true. Just something that I heard

Thanks for the intel on Flemmi, Joe. That's insane if true.

Casso was sent to a state prison during his time when he was listed as being in a halfway house.
This happens to people who cooperate.
He was sent to a state prison during 2013, if I remember correctly and then came back to federal prison in 2018 when he was transferred to MCFP.

In November 2020, Judge Korman granted Scarpa jr a compassionate release from prison. Scarpa had been suffering from cancer and treatment had left him with no salivary glands and a hole in his throat. He planned to live with a sister in Florida.

The idea that Flemmi gets to walk the streets makes me sick, even if he has some BOP official with him or whatever. He should be buried under the prison.
