Reality Winner, the NSA contractor who pleaded guilty to mishandling government secrets, is transferred to halfway house
Devlin Barrett 26 mins ago
Reality Winner, a former National Security Agency contractor who pleaded guilty to mishandling government secrets about Russian election interference and who has long sought a pardon, has been transferred from federal prison to the custody of a halfway house to serve the rest of her sentence, her attorney said Monday.
Winners transfer came on June 2 and was not part of any commutation or special treatment but a scheduled shift due to good behavior, said her attorney, Alison Grinter Allen.
While she finishes her sentence, she is likely to have the option of home confinement.
She is in the custody of the halfway house, and the halfway house can use home confinement as part of it, but its all at the discretion of the halfway house, her attorney said. She has begun the reentry process.
