Kwame Kilpatrick Granted Early Release From Prison: Sources

Early compassionate release due to COVID-19 looks probable for former Detroit mayor ~ Kwame Kilpatrick

(WWJ) Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick will be released early from federal prison, sources say, due to the pandemic.

According to a Friday news release from the Ebony Foundation, Kilpatrick has been granted a compationate release after serving only seven years of his lengthy sentence.

State Representative Karen Whitsett of Detroit says she got confirmation directly from President Donald Trump, who told her Thursday that Kilpatrick would be one of 3,000 prisoners released because of the coronavirus.

"We already felt that he had definitely gotten more time than he had absolutely deserved, and that he is not a menace to society," Whitsett told WWJ's Charlie Langton.

People close to the ex-mayor told WDIV that he's currently under a 21-day quarantine in preparation for his release. Family members said they were hopeful that Kilpatrick would get out on June 10 (2020).

Once released, Whitsett told WWJ that Kilpatrick will be held under house arrest.

Detroit's current mayor, Mike Duggan, expressed his support for Kilpatrick.

Kwame Kilpatrick was originally due to be released from prison in 2037 ~ a 28 year sentence
