Back in late 2000, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony member Flesh-N-Bone was sent away to prison after being sentenced to 12 years on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and probation violation.

Now, nearly eight years later, the nearly forgotten member of the Grammy Award winning group is home, and has reunited with his Bone Thugs.

News of the rapper's release came last month when Krayzie Bone said Flesh would be coming home in July. According to information from Bone fansite, BTNHBoard.com, Flesh finally experienced freedom on Sunday (July 13).

Flesh (real name: Stanley Howse) was greeted by friends an family as he was released from a California prison Sunday, and has already reunited with his Bone Thugs group members.

Photos have already been leaked showing all five members of Bone in the studio, recording tracks together for the first time in years. The news has pleased Bone fans tremendously.

Additionally, Flesh's release was captured on video for an upcoming reality show. At press time, however, there wasn't any immediate information regarding the show.

The rapper's 10 year sentence stems from an incident in December 1999, when he pulled an AK-47 assault rifle and threatened a friend. He was facing up to 19 years, but pleaded guilty for lesser time in prison.
