Thomas S. Fritzel leaves the Frank Carlson Federal Courthouse in Topeka, Kan. on Tuesday, Aug. 14, 2018.
After serving four months of his one-year sentence in a federal prison, Lawrence developer and four-time felon Thomas Fritzel has been transferred to a reentry program that is designed to help him transition back to the community upon his upcoming release.
Fritzel began serving his sentence at the minimum-security federal prison camp in Yankton, S.D., on Aug. 25, and the Bureau of Prisons database reflected that he had been moved to the Residential Reentry Management program in Kansas City, Kan., sometime in the past week. As part of such programs, the BOP contracts with residential reentry centers, also known halfway houses, to help inmates nearing release transition back to the community, according to the BOP website.
