Sherri Papini out of federal prison 6 months early, now in community confinement
Sacramento -- The Shasta County mother convicted of faking her own kidnapping is now out of prison early.
Sherri Papini transferred from the satellite camp adjacent to the Federal Correctional Institution Victorville Medium I to community confinement on August 16th. The Federal Bureau of Prisons' Sacramento Residential Reentry Management Office oversees this program, but the FBOP could not confirm where Papini would be living or the conditions of her confinement, citing privacy.
Community confinement means Papini is either in home confinement or a Residential Reentry Center, also known as a halfway house.
Papini has a projected release date of October 29, 2023, after this date, she will no longer be under the reentry program and community confinement.
Papini made national headlines back in 2016 when she was reported missing and then found weeks later on Thanksgiving. She told investigators she was taken by two Hispanic women, but she was actually with an ex-boyfriend the entire time.
She pleaded guilty last year and was sentenced to 18 months and ordered to pay $300,000 in restitution to the state.
