Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has officially been transferred to the federal low‑security facility Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix in New Jersey to serve out his 50‑month prison sentence, following his conviction on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution.
What Just Happened
- Combs was sentenced on October 3, 2025 to 50 months in prison for the Mann Act‑related charges.
- Federal records show the transfer to FCI Fort Dix occurred early Thursday morning, and his time already served (dating back to his September 2024 arrest) will be credited toward the sentence.
- His legal team had requested placement at Fort Dix because of its Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP) and its proximity to his family, although the final decision is made by the Bureau of Prisons.
Why This Matters
- The start of his incarceration marks a major turning point for a figure who dominated hip‑hop culture and business for decades.
- Placement at Fort Dix could impact rehabilitation options, visitation rights, and actual release timing if Combs participates in programs like RDAP.
- The projected release date is May 8, 2028, assuming good conduct time and other credits — meaning this move sets the stage for the next phase of his life and career behind bars.
What to Watch
- Whether Combs is officially housed at Fort Dix or transferred to another facility despite the request.
- His participation in prison programs, especially drug‑abuse rehabilitation, which could further shorten his sentence.
- How this sentence and incarceration will affect his businesses, brand associations, and public image upon release.
