NEW YORK – Sean “Diddy” Combs has made headlines again, this time for being moved to a federal prison in Pennsylvania after some troubling events during his time at a New Jersey lockup. According to a source who spoke with The Associated Press, Combs was reportedly living a lavish lifestyle in prison and was even injured during a fight.
The federal Bureau of Prisons has transferred the 56-year-old hip-hop mogul from FCI Fort Dix to FCI Allenwood Low, a low-security facility located south of Williamsport, Pennsylvania. This new facility is about 155 miles (or 250 kilometers) away from New York City.
While the Bureau of Prisons confirmed the transfer, they did not provide any specific reasons. They stated that they do not discuss the conditions of confinement for inmates, citing privacy and security concerns. “Decisions about inmate placement are made by the BOP, and we are not in a position to speak to the circumstances surrounding this transfer,” said Combs’ spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer. He added that Diddy is focused on moving forward and hopes his time at the new facility will be productive.
Currently, Combs is serving a sentence of four years and two months for his conviction last year on prostitution-related charges. His case revealed disturbing details about alleged violence and sex parties he referred to as “freak-offs.” This legal battle marked a significant moment for Combs, who has been one of music and entertainment’s most influential figures.
In a recent report by NBC News, it was revealed that Combs was reportedly enjoying certain perks while at FCI Fort Dix. Allegations included smuggling in Hennessy, having other inmates perform personal tasks for him, and even using a contraband cellphone to check social media and view private photos.
However, things took a turn when it was reported that Combs was involved in a fight with another inmate at Fort Dix, leading to his transfer for treatment. The Bureau of Prisons later denied these reports, stating, “The story you are referring to is false and did not happen.”
Following the NBC report, Combs was placed in the prison’s special housing unit, a more secure area designated for inmates with disciplinary issues. This move also resulted in him losing 41 days of good-conduct credit, which has pushed his expected release date back to March 2, 2028.
In April, Combs’ legal team argued in the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for a reconsideration of his conviction and sentence, claiming that the punishment was too severe. As of now, the court has yet to make a ruling on this matter.
