LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) --WREG in Memphis is reporting an agreement has been reached to release two of the West Memphis 3.

The Arkansas Department of Corrections says all three have left their prisons and are now in the custody of the Craighead County Sheriff's Office, taking all their belongings with them. 

DOC spokeswoman Shea Wilson said inmates leaving with all possessions was "unusual," but not unprecedented.

A special hearing has been set for Friday at 10 a.m. in Jonesboro.
