Sean Diddy Combs, the renowned music mogul, has been relocated to a federal prison in New Jersey following his conviction and sentencing on serious prostitution-related charges in New York. According to online prison records from the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Combs is now housed at the federal correctional institution known as FCI Fort Dix.
As of Monday, Sean Combs was previously located at a detention center in Brooklyn, New York. The recent transfer marks a significant development in his ongoing legal issues. A spokesperson for Combs has chosen not to comment on this latest update, as reported by CBS News.
Combs' legal team had advocated for his transfer to FCI Fort Dix, emphasizing the need for him to address drug abuse issues and to facilitate family visitation. In a letter submitted to the judge overseeing the case, his lawyers outlined these goals as part of the rehabilitation process. FCI Fort Dix is strategically located at the military’s Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, which is situated northeast of Philadelphia. This base was formed in 2009 through the consolidation of McGuire Air Force Base, Fort Dix Army Base, and Lakehurst Naval Air Station.
Earlier this month, the 55-year-old Combs received a sentence of just over four years in prison after being convicted on two counts of violating the Mann Act. This federal law criminalizes the transportation of individuals for the purposes of prostitution, debauchery, or any immoral purpose. Despite his conviction, Combs is currently appealing the sentence and the verdict. His anticipated release date is set for May 2028.
During his high-profile criminal trial in New York City, Combs was acquitted of more serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. He has been in custody since his arrest in September 2024 and will now join over 4,100 inmates at FCI Fort Dix. The facility is described as a low-security federal correctional institution, which also includes an adjacent minimum-security satellite camp.
The ongoing developments in Sean Diddy Combs' case continue to capture public attention, and his transfer to FCI Fort Dix marks a pivotal chapter in his legal journey.
