Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Begins Custody at New Jersey Correctional Facility

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Prison Transfer

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has recently been moved to a New Jersey prison to serve the remainder of his four-year prison sentence related to prostitution charges. The renowned hip-hop figure is now incarcerated at the Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institute, situated approximately 55 kilometers from Philadelphia.

Details of His Incarceration

This transfer comes after Combs was held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he was detained since his arrest last September. The specific timing of this transfer has not been disclosed.

Legal Proceedings

Combs’ legal team had previously requested that he be moved to a lower-security facility. They advocated for this change to help him access a drug treatment program available at Fort Dix.

His attorney, Teny Geragos, stated in a letter to the court that being at FCI Fort Dix would best support Combs in addressing substance abuse issues and facilitate family visits and rehabilitation efforts.

Time Served and Release Date

Having already completed approximately 14 months of his 50-month sentence, Combs is set to be released on May 8, 2028. However, he could potentially shorten this time through participation in various prison programs, including substance abuse treatment.

Ongoing Appeals

Recently, Combs’ lawyers appealed to a federal court to expedite the review of his conviction and sentence, hoping for a reversal that would allow him a shorter time in prison.

Pardon Request

Notably, former President Donald Trump has mentioned that Combs reached out to him seeking a pardon, though it remains unclear if he intends to grant such a request.

Background of the Case

Combs was found guilty of arranging drug-fueled sexual encounters between his girlfriends and male sex workers but was acquitted of more serious charges, including sex trafficking that could have led to life imprisonment.

In a statement to the judge before sentencing, Combs expressed that he has experienced a “spiritual reset” while in jail. He emphasized his determination to remain non-violent and drug-free.
