Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal team is making bold claims about his upcoming prison sentence. While the mogul is facing a tentative release date of May 8, 2028, one of his attorneys, Marc Agnifilo, believes Diddy will be out even sooner. Agnifilo expressed confidence that Combs will be a model prisoner and secure an earlier release.
Optimism About Early Release
In a conversation with TMZ, Agnifilo stated, “I think it’ll be sooner than that. How much sooner than that I don’t know, there are a lot of variables. We just kind of want to get him situated…” He added, “[Diddy’s] going to go onto another facility and I have no doubt he’ll be a perfect prisoner, and I have no doubt that he’ll get out as soon as the system lets him.”
This optimistic outlook suggests that Diddy’s legal team is actively pursuing strategies to shorten his sentence. It’s understood that they are focused on ensuring he is transferred to a facility that offers the Bureau of Prisons’ Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP).
Seeking Program Approval for Sentence Reduction
Judge Arun Subramanian, who presided over Diddy’s federal trial, has already approved his participation in the RDAP program. This program offers the potential to shave up to a year off his sentence, provided he maintains nonviolent behavior while incarcerated. This approval is a significant step in the legal team’s efforts to expedite his release.
Beyond seeking early release through programs, Diddy’s appellate attorney, Alexandra Shapiro, is also working to speed up the appeal process for his sentence length. She has formally requested the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to shorten the typical 18-month appeal timeline by a full year, further demonstrating the legal team’s commitment to reducing his time served.
