No. However, with appropriate evidence and proper motion, you may be able to persuade the court to issue a 'compassionate release' order allowing him out temporarily or early.

A motion needs to be filed to withdraw his plea, based on involuntariness or ineffective assistance of counsel. There is a time limit however.

Re: Sentence Dissmissal
Mr. Farshi's answer doesn't make sense; perhaps he intended it as a response to a different question. There is nothing in your question to suggest there was a plea at all, let alone that it was involuntary or the result of ineffective assistance. I suggest disregarding what he wrote.
I think Mr. Nelson may also have misread your question. Compassionate release is probably not available for defendants who never turned themselves in to serve their sentences.
