Diddy Begins 50-Month Sentence at FCI Fort Dix as Defense Seeks Fast-Track Appeal

His lawyers seek a compressed appeals timetable so any ruling arrives before his projected 2028 release.

Overview

  • The Bureau of Prisons transferred Sean Combs to low-security FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey on Thursday, granting his request to access drug-treatment programming and stay near family.
  • BOP records list a projected release date of May 8, 2028, which could change based on good-conduct credits and completion of RDAP or First Step Act programs.
  • His legal team asked the Second Circuit to expedite the case, proposing briefs through March and an April 2026 oral argument, and prosecutors have not opposed the schedule.
  • The appeal targets his Mann Act convictions; he was acquitted of racketeering and sex-trafficking counts and was sentenced on Oct. 3 to 50 months, a $500,000 fine, and five years’ supervised release, with about 14 months credited.
  • Reports about possible presidential clemency are unresolved, with accounts of a request contrasted by denials that any decision is imminent.
