ATLANTA, GA (WCSC) - Former state treasurer Thomas Ravenel is out of the big house and transferred to a halfway house in Atlanta, Georgia. Wednesday is his first full day in the new center.
The Community Corrections Office in Atlanta is open for inmates who are nearing their release date. Their website describes it as a safe, structured, supervised environment that offers counseling and transitional drug abuse treatment for inmates who have completed treatment programs in prison.
Ravenel still has almost four months to go in his federal prison sentence.
He was sentenced in March to ten months in prison for buying and distributing cocaine.
A representative from the federal prison system says Ravenel will not be let go before his March 27 release date.
He may be considered for home confinement in the last few weeks before that date.
