Sean “Diddy” Combs was transferred to the federal prison in Fort Dix, New Jersey, where he will serve out the remainder of his four-year prison sentence.
A spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons confirmed on Thursday, October 30, that the disgraced mogul, 55, was transferred to FCI Fort Dix, which is located in New Hanover Township. The facility is a low-security prison for men that houses around 4,000 inmates.
Diddy is set to be released on May 8, 2028, per the Bureau of Prisons website. He could be released earlier, however, if he remains on good behavior and completes certain programs while incarcerated.
Diddy has been behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, since his September 2024 arrest. Despite pleading not guilty, he was convicted on two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution and acquitted on two counts of sex trafficking and one count of racketeering conspiracy in July.
Three months later, Diddy was sentenced to 50 months in prison on October 3, with the year he’d already served counting toward his sentence. Judge Arun Subramanian also fined Diddy $500,000 and ordered him to complete five years of supervised release once his prison sentence is complete.
At the time, the judge encouraged Diddy to “make the most” of his “second chance,” adding, “There’s a true path to redemption here. What went wrong and what can be made right.”
After his sentencing, Diddy’s attorneys requested that Judge Subramanian recommend he serve his remaining time at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security facility in New Jersey.
Since the trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs kicked off at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan U.S. Courthouse in New York City on May 5, numerous witnesses have taken the stand to testify about their alleged interactions with the rapper.

“In order to address drug abuse issues and to maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts, we request that the court [strongly] recommend to the Bureau of Prisons that Mr. Combs be placed at FCI Fort Dix,” Diddy’s lawyer Teny Geragos wrote in a letter to the judge.
Prior to receiving his sentence, Diddy asked for leniency in his own letter to Judge Subramanian.
“First and foremost, I want to apologize and say how sincerely sorry I am for all of the hurt and pain that I have caused others by my conduct,” he wrote in a note obtained by Us Weekly on October 2.
He continued, “I take full responsibility and accountability for my past wrongs. This has been the hardest two years of my life, and I have no one to blame for my current reality and situation but myself. In my life, I have made many mistakes, but I am no longer running from them. I am so sorry for the hurt that I caused, but I understand that the mere words ‘I’m sorry’ will never be good enough, as these words alone cannot erase the pain from the past.”
Diddy asked for “mercy” from the judge, claiming that he has been “humbled” by his time behind bars.

He added, “Since incarceration, I have gone through a spiritual reset. I’m on a journey that will take time and hard work. I’m proud to say I’m working harder than I ever have before. I’m committed to the journey of remaining a drug free, non-violent and peaceful person.”
Diddy concluded the letter by “humbly” asking “for another chance,” writing that the experience “has changed my life forever and I will never commit a crime again.”
