Jimmy Dimora was released from prison last year for health reasons, 11 years after his sentencing on corruption charges that roiled Cuyahoga County and led to a change in its form of government.

He was to remain in home confinement until 2030, but his sentence is over now, commuted along with nearly 1,500 others by President Joe Biden.
