Fetty Wap Leaves Federal Prison for Home Confinement Nearly Three Years Early

The Bureau of Prisons confirmed a Jan. 7 transfer to community confinement overseen from Philadelphia, with full discharge projected for Nov. 8, 2026.

Overview

  • The rapper was moved Jan. 7 from FCI Sandstone in Minnesota to community confinement, which may be home or a halfway house, under the BOP’s Philadelphia Residential Reentry Management Office.
  • He served just over three years of a six-year sentence imposed in May 2023 after pleading guilty in August 2022 to conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine in a case prosecutors said moved over 100 kilograms of narcotics.
  • The Bureau of Prisons has not said why he was transferred early or whether any specific early-release program applied.
  • His supervision includes regular drug testing, no alcohol or intoxicants unless prescribed, approval to open new bank accounts, reporting of earnings and tax records, and possible outpatient drug treatment.
  • In a statement, he thanked supporters and said he will focus on community work that expands education, early tech skills, and vision care for at‑risk children.
