Overview

  • Telfair, 40, was released this week from Bureau of Prisons custody after serving several months at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey.

  • Post-release requirements include abstaining from drugs and alcohol and completing a class and written paper on financial responsibility.
  • In interviews after his release, he said he feels rehabilitated and is focused on reuniting with his children.
