🧱 The Gutter Report: Pooh Shiesty Comes Home Early
From 2026 projections to a halfway house in 2025
Headlines had his freedom stamped for April 2026 — but yesterday, Pooh Shiesty shocked the rap world by stepping out early. The Memphis rapper, government name Lontrell Williams Jr., was sentenced in April 2022 to 63 months in federal prison for a firearms conspiracy charge. By all math, that meant at least another year behind bars.
So why is he out now?
🎯 The Sentence vs. The Streets
At sentencing, feds calculated Shiesty’s end date at April 25, 2026. Later, that got shaved down to April 11, 2026, thanks to technical adjustments and program credits. But this October release marks an even deeper cut. Reports confirm he’s been moved to a halfway house — a transitional stage between prison and full release — meaning he’s still under supervision, but no longer living in a cell.

🔑 How the Time Got Knocked Down
There are a few moving pieces here:
Time Served: The months he sat before sentencing counted toward the 63.
Good Time Credits: Federal inmates can knock off days for good behavior and program completion.
Halfway Placement: The Bureau of Prisons can transfer people early to reentry facilities.
Administrative Flex: Projected dates are often fluid, tweaked for system management and compliance.
Put it together and Shiesty shaved months — maybe a full year — off his max date.
🗣️ What the Block Is Saying
For the fans and the streets, the calendar don’t matter — what matters is he’s out. After two years of silence, snippets, and viral “jail phone” videos, Shiesty is back in motion while most thought he’d be eating prison chow until 2026.
Expect the narratives to split:
Supporters: “He played it smart, stayed solid, and came home early.”
Skeptics: “Don’t trust those dates — the feds move how they want.”
Industry: Watching close — because a free Pooh Shiesty means big records, big features, and big money back in circulation.

📌 The Bigger Picture
His case highlights how federal time isn’t always written in stone. Credits, programs, and halfway placements create loopholes that can turn “five years” into “three and change.” That’s the hidden math of the system — and Shiesty just did the equation in real life.
Not for clicks — for clarity.
Good morning and Godspeed.
