According to an announcement by United States Attorney Eric G. Olshan, a West Mifflin man has entered a guilty plea to an escape charge after failing to return to a reentry facility.
Jamiel Green, 27, stood before United States District Judge Cathy Bissoon and admitted to one count of escape last Wednesday. Given a temporary leave from the residential reentry center where he was completing his sentence for violating federal firearm laws, Green was instructed to return by November 2, 2023. However, he didn't make it back as directed, leading to several months on the run until being captured by the U.S. Marshals Service.
The official statement provided by the U.S. Attorney's Office detailed that Judge Bissoon set the sentencing date for March 6, 2025. Depending on the seriousness of his actions and previous criminal record, Green faces up to five years in prison, a fine of $250,000, or both, as determined by the federal Sentencing Guidelines.
