Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs transferred to low-security prison in New Jersey for prostitution related conviction

Sean “Diddy” Combs has officially been transferred to a federal prison in New Jersey to serve out the rest of his four-year sentence tied to prostitution-related crimes.

The 55-year-old hip-hop mogul, once worth hundreds of millions, is now listed in the Federal Bureau of Prisons database as an inmate at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution, a low-security facility located roughly 34 miles east of Philadelphia. The prison sits on the grounds of the massive McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst military base.

It’s unclear when Combs was moved from New York’s Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he’d been held since his arrest in September 2023. His lawyers and the Bureau of Prisons have not commented on the transfer.

Earlier this month, Combs’ legal team urged a judge to recommend Fort Dix because it offers a residential drug treatment program. His attorney, Teny Geragos, wrote that the move would “maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts” while helping Combs address his alleged substance abuse issues.

Having served about 14 months of his 50-month sentence, Combs is currently set for release on May 8, 2028—though he could shave time off through participation in rehabilitation and educational programs.

His attorneys have also petitioned a federal appeals court to fast-track a review of his conviction, hoping to reduce his sentence if it’s overturned.

Adding another twist, Donald Trump claimed that Combs has reached out requesting a presidential pardon, though the former president has not said whether he’ll consider it.

Combs was convicted in July of using his private jets to transport girlfriends and male sex workers across state lines for drug-fueled sexual encounters that reportedly spanned several years. He was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering, charges that could have carried a life sentence.

In a letter to the court, the Bad Boy Records founder described his time in prison as a “spiritual reset,” saying he’s “committed to remaining a drug-free, non-violent and peaceful person.”
