Diddy Moved to New Jersey Prison After Reported Knife Incident in Cell

Sean 'Diddy' Combs begins serving a 50-month sentence at a low-security New Jersey prison offering drug treatment and family contact, with a projected release in May 2028.

  • On Thursday, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, founder of Bad Boy Records, checked in at Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix, New Jersey, about 34 miles east of Philadelphia to begin his sentence.
  • Combs' lawyers had asked a judge earlier this month to strongly recommend transferring him to a low-security male prison so he could join the Residential Drug Abuse Program.
  • The conviction included two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution in the Southern District of New York; jurors acquitted him of sex trafficking and racketeering charges, and he had served about 14 months at MDC Brooklyn.
  • Earlier this week, Combs' lawyers asked a federal appeals court for expedited review to protect possible sentence reductions and raised safety concerns after another inmate allegedly threatened him, prompting his transfer; a case management conference on Dec. 3 is scheduled for the plaintiff's civil lawsuit.
  • A newly surfaced police incident report and a July civil suit allege sexual assault by Combs involving a music producer and reference C.J. Wallace, amid over 50 civil lawsuits pending.
