Jen Shah Leaves Federal Prison for Community Confinement to Serve Remainder at Home

The Bureau of Prisons cited good behavior, prison programming, restitution as reasons for the timing.

Overview

  • The BOP transferred Shah on Dec. 10 from FPC Bryan to community confinement overseen by its Phoenix Residential Reentry Management office.
  • People reports she briefly checked into a halfway house for orientation before returning to her Utah home to complete her sentence under supervision.
  • She served roughly 33 months of a 78‑month term after pleading guilty in 2022 to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in a nationwide telemarketing scheme that targeted vulnerable victims.
  • She remains under strict supervision, with a five‑year post‑release term that includes drug and alcohol testing and outpatient mental‑health requirements, according to reports.
  • She still owes about $6.5 million in restitution and forfeiture; the BOP is not disclosing specific location details, and records list a projected final release in August 2026.
