Sean Combs Moved to Federal Prison in Pennsylvania
NEW YORK (AP) — Sean “Diddy” Combs has been relocated to a federal prison in Pennsylvania, following reports of his extravagant lifestyle and an injury sustained during a fight at his New Jersey facility, a source familiar with the situation informed The Associated Press on Friday.
Combs, 56, is being transferred from FCI Fort Dix to FCI Allenwood Low, which is a low-security prison situated south of Williamsport, roughly 155 miles (250 kilometers) west of New York City. The source, who wished to remain anonymous, was not authorized to speak publicly about this transfer.
The Bureau of Prisons confirmed the transfer but did not elaborate. They emphasized that they cannot discuss inmate conditions, including the reasons for their relocation, due to privacy, safety, and security considerations.
“Placement decisions are made by the BOP, and we can’t comment on the context of this transfer,” stated Combs’ spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer. “Sean is concentrating on moving forward, and we hope his new environment will be productive and calm.”
Combs is currently serving a sentence of four years and two months after being convicted last year on prostitution-related charges, specifically for transporting individuals across state lines for sexual activities. The case included disturbing testimonies regarding violent incidents and sex parties he referred to as “freak-offs.” It represented a significant reckoning for one of the entertainment industry’s most prominent figures.
Last month, NBC News reported that Combs was still indulging in some luxuries typical of his millionaire status while at FCI Fort Dix. Reports indicated he was sneaking in Hennessy, having fellow inmates cater to his needs like cooking and cleaning, and even using a contraband cellphone to access social media and nude photos of an ex-girlfriend.
On Wednesday, TMZ reported that he suffered injuries following a clash with another inmate at Fort Dix and required medical treatment outside the prison. However, the Bureau of Prisons disputed this claim, stating, “The story you are referring to is false and did not happen.”
Following the NBC report, Combs was moved to the prison’s special housing unit, a highly secure section intended for inmates with security issues or disciplinary problems. He also received a reduction of 41 days from his good-conduct credit, which has now delayed his release until March 2, 2028, according to the informed source.
In April, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals evaluated arguments concerning Combs’ attempt to overturn his conviction and sentence, which his legal team deemed excessively severe. The court has not yet issued a decision.
