Former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling, who received the longest sentence in one of the nation's most notorious corporate fraud cases, was recently released from a minimum security federal prison camp in Alabama to a halfway house.

It's still unclear where Skilling is staying -- federal officials declined to provide that information. But prisoners are typically placed in their hometowns to help them re-establish relations and return to a more normal life, according to Philip Hilder, a white collar defense lawyer.

Other key figures in the spectacular rise and fall of Enron, such as the former chief financial officers Andrew Fastow, completed sentences years ago.

Skilling, 64, was sentenced in 2006 to 24 years in prison for his role in the scandal that cost investors billions of dollars and wiped out the retirement savings and jobs of thousands of Enron employees. Five years ago, Skilling's sentence was reduced to 14 years. He is scheduled to be released Feb. 21, according to the Bureau of Prisons.

Kenneth Lay, the Enron chairman, was also convicted on several charges, including securities fraud, but died in 2006 before he was sentenced.
