Diddy Transferred to New Jersey Federal Prison After Defense Request

The Bureau of Prisons projects a May 8, 2028 release using time served plus First Step Act credits.

Overview

  • Sean “Diddy” Combs was moved from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey to access a drug-rehabilitation program and remain closer to family.
  • He is serving a 50‑month sentence imposed on October 3 for transporting people for prostitution after a divided verdict that acquitted him of trafficking and racketeering charges.
  • Federal records list May 8, 2028 as his projected release date, reflecting pretrial detention credit and anticipated good-conduct reductions under the First Step Act.
  • Defense filings ask the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to hold an expedited hearing in April to accelerate review of the conviction and sentence.
  • His attorneys have also submitted a presidential pardon petition to Donald Trump, and several civil lawsuits tied to the case remain pending.
