Lipine Faafiu, who was released early from federal prison due to COVID-19 risks, faces a 51-month sentence for illegal gun possession after new arrests.
Despite being classified as a low risk to reoffend, Faafiu's history includes repeated offenses and gang affiliations, complicating his future chances for rehabilitation.
Faafiu's attorney argues the best solution for him and society would be to relocate him away from the Bay Area, where he has faced numerous legal issues.
The case underscores concerns about the effectiveness of supervised release programs as Faafiu reoffended shortly after being released due to health concerns.
