Sean "Diddy" Combs Relocated to Federal Facility in New Jersey

Sean "Diddy" Combs has been transferred to a federal correctional institution located in New Jersey after being sentenced for offenses connected to prostitution, as outlined in the prison's digital records.

The music industry titan, whose fall from grace has garnered media attention, has now been placed at FCI Fort Dix, as per information from the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Previously, Combs was held at a Brooklyn detention center, as recent as last week.

A representative from Combs’ camp opted not to provide comments to CBS News concerning this shift.

Legal advocates for Combs had pushed for his placement at FCI Fort Dix in order to facilitate dealing with substance abuse challenges and optimize opportunities for family visits and rehabilitation, according to a letter addressed to the presiding judge.

This correctional institution is situated at the military's Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, an area north of Philadelphia, which was formed by merging McGuire Air Force Base, Fort Dix, and Lakehurst Naval Air Station back in 2009.

Earlier this month, Combs, who is 55, received a sentence of over four years after being found guilty of breaking the Mann Act. This federal law prohibits the transportation of individuals for reasons related to prostitution or other immoral activities.

Combs is in the process of appealing both his conviction and the sentencing decision. His expected release date is set for May 2028.

He was acquitted of more severe accusations pertaining to sex trafficking and racketeering by the conclusion of his notable trial in New York City, which ended in July. Combs has been in detention since his arrest in September 2024.

At FCI Fort Dix, Combs joins a population of over 4,100 inmates. The facility, as per its website, is described as a low-security federal establishment, which also includes a nearby minimum-security satellite camp.
