Conrad Black is scheduled to be released from a Miami prison this week, according to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.

The former media baron, 67, is currently serving a sentence for fraud and obstruction of justice related to the conduct of Hollinger Inc.

The bureau’s public database of prisoners shows Black’s release date as Saturday May 5th.

Ed Ross, spokesman for the Bureau of Prisons, said release dates are updated by correctional facility staff who adjust for good behaviour credits.

“The projected (date) is the full-term release date less any good conduct credits the individual would have received,” said Ross.

He noted that Black’s release date is officially on Saturday, but since that falls on a weekend he would likely be released the day before.

Black has been in and out of prison since 2007, when he was sentenced to 6 ½ years.

He was freed in July 2010, paying $2 million in bail after serving 29 months.

Black’s lawyers appealed the charges and had two fraud convictions overturned, but obstruction of justice and one fraud charge remained.

He was resentenced in June 2011. Judge Amy St. Eve, the judge who has presided over Black’s case since the beginning, ordered him to serve 42 months in total.

Barbara Amiel, Black’s wife, collapsed upon hearing the sentence.

His original stint in prison counts toward the 42-month sentence, as does good behaviour in both the 29-month sentence and the most recent one.

Black renounced his Canadian citizenship in 2001 to become a member of the U.K.’s House of Lords. Because he is no longer a citizen and is now a convicted criminal, it’s unknown if he’ll be allowed to enter Canada.

About time that Black gets freed. He was the victim of a witch hunt in my opinion. A lot of the Wallstreet execs did much worse & either weren't punished or less severe sentences.

Alexmst ... This Canadian Government has already indicated to the US that since he has property in Canada he will be allowed to come here if he wishes.

All his Lordship has to do is offer Harpo an Enlish peerage title and he'll get his Canadian citizenship back.

His wife never gave up her CDN citizenship back so for Conrad to get his back it won't be a problem.

While some of things Black did were unethical, they were not illegal. IMHO this was a shotgun prosecution. Black made a lot of people a lot of money. He was uncharacteristically STUPID to use a Canadian lawyer to fight a case in the US though.. but clever people do stupid things all the time. His removal of boxes was what really cooked him in the end.

Wow, Black went into prison when he was 64. He's 67 now, but looks about 87.

I read in an article that prison food ages you faster. I believe it!!

US Federal prisons are no joke and the one in Miami is one of the worst. The one he was in before his appeal was much better but Kingston would be a Hilton by comparison.
