Diddy Transferred to Fort Dix for Sentence

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been transferred to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey to begin serving his 50-month prison sentence. The move comes less than a month after his legal team requested the specific facility, citing its renowned drug treatment program and proximity to family.

Opting for a Specialized Program

Combs’ attorneys submitted a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, strongly recommending Fort Dix for its Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP). This intensive program, typically lasting nine months, requires participants to reside in a separate unit and engage in half-day programming alongside half-day work or vocational activities.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons granted the mogul’s request, transferring him to the low-security federal correctional institution. Fort Dix houses fewer than 4,000 inmates, and the choice reflects a desire for rehabilitative efforts and maximized family visitation during his incarceration.

Sentence Details and Appeal Efforts

Combs was sentenced on October 3rd to his prison term, a $500,000 fine, and five years of supervised release. This follows his conviction on two counts of transporting individuals to engage in prostitution under the Mann Act. He was acquitted of more serious racketeering charges.

His expected release date is May 8, 2028. Earlier this week, Combs’ attorneys filed a request with a federal appeals court to expedite his appeal of the prostitution-related convictions, arguing that the standard timeline could mean his sentence concludes before the appeal is heard.

Background of the Case

Prior to his transfer, Combs had been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since his arrest in September 2024 on charges including sex trafficking and operating a criminal enterprise. The legal proceedings have been closely watched, given Combs’ prominent status in the entertainment industry.
