According to the Bureau, Blue was released Tuesday from the Coleman Low Federal Correctional Institution in Florida. And was transferred to the BOP’s Miami Residential Reentry Management Office. This is an office that looks after inmates returning to public life.

Upon his release, Blue will remain in community detention, which can be either “house arrest or a transitional facility.” Until he is officially released from custody on April 4th.
