Sean 'Diddy' Combs Transferred to FCI Fort Dix Federal Prison After 50-Month Sentence
Sean “Diddy” Combs has officially been transferred to the Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix in New Jersey to begin serving his 50-month prison sentence. A source confirmed to Rolling Stone that the move occurred Thursday following the court’s decision earlier this month.
Sean “Diddy” Combs begins his 50-month sentence at FCI Fort Dix after federal convictions for transporting individuals across state lines.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons lists Combs’ projected release date as May 8, 2028, factoring in the potential for good-time credits. The 55-year-old music mogul was convicted on two counts of transporting his ex-girlfriends and male escorts across state lines for commercial sex.

Combs’ attorney, Teny Geragos, had requested placement at Fort Dix in an October 6 court filing to U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian, citing the facility’s resources for addressing substance use and its proximity to Combs’ family and legal team in New York. The low-security prison, located about 80 miles south of Manhattan, also previously housed public figures including Martin Shkreli and Joe Giudice.
According to ABC News, Combs is currently assigned to a drug treatment unit separate from the prison’s general population.
The Bad Boy Records founder was sentenced on October 3 to four years and two months behind bars after facing a potential maximum of 20 years under the Mann Act. Combs has already served over a year in custody since his arrest in New York in September 2024. With good behavior, he may shorten his time served and be released by spring 2028.
The federal court found Combs guilty on two prostitution-related charges but acquitted him of more severe allegations, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking involving Casandra “Cassie” Ventura and another woman identified as Jane.
Prosecutors initially sought an 11-year sentence, while federal probation officials recommended a term between six and seven years. Combs’ legal team requested a sentence equivalent to time served, arguing for a maximum of 14 months. Judge Subramanian said the final decision reflected the seriousness of the offenses and the importance of accountability.
As reported previously, Combs’ representatives have also petitioned President Donald Trump for a possible pardon as the artist pursues his appeal.
