Convicted former Fall River Mayor Jasiel Correia will remain an employee of his in law's upscale Fall River Steakhouse through at least February 13, after Federal Judge Douglas Woodlock decided that issues with COVID-19 at FCI Berlin were too risky to send Correia there. 

Correia was to have self-surrendered in New Hampshire on Friday before Woodlock's decision was announced before the noon hour Thursday. 

Prior to Woodlock's decision, the Federal Probation Department had asked Woodlock to approve the removal of a GPS device that was outfitted for the former Mayor in 2021 prior to his trip to New Hampshire that is now on pause.
