Allison had originally faced between 14 and 17 and a half years in prison after pleading guilty in 2019.
Charges included extortion and forced labour during her role in NXIVM, an infamous group that claimed to be a multi-level marketing company.
The slaves were intended for NXVIM’s leader Keith Raniere.
According to AP, the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ records say that Allison got out of prison on Monday 3 July 2023.
It has been reported that Mack’s sentence was reduced after she agreed to cooperate with the authorities and helped to bring down Keith.
Allison reportedly helped the authorities collect evidence that revealed Raniere had brainwashed numerous women and branded their skin with his initials.

It has also been reported that he forced the women into having sexual relationships with him.
He was eventually convicted on sex trafficking charges and has been sentenced to 120 years in prison.
Before Allison was sentenced, she issued an apology to her victims.
Mack’s statement read: “It is now of paramount importance for me to say, from the bottom of my heart, I am so sorry.”

“I threw myself into the teachings of Keith Raniere with everything I had. I believed, whole-heartedly, that his mentorship was leading me to a better, more enlightened version of myself.”
She went on to say: “I devoted my loyalty, my resources, and ultimately my life, to him. This was the biggest mistake and regret of my life.”
Allison apologised for “exposing them to the nefarious and emotionally abusive schemes of a twisted man,” and that she was “sorry for encouraging them to use their resources to participate in something ultimately ugly”.
She also admitted that she “has a heavy weight of guilt for having misused their trust” and for “leading them down a negative path”.
