Judge Backs RDAP Consideration for Diddy, Leaves Prison Choice to BOP

Any sentence credit from the drug program depends on Bureau of Prisons discretion.

Overview

  • In a letter made public, Judge Arun Subramanian said Sean Combs should be considered for the Residential Drug Abuse Program and recommended incarceration near the New York area.
  • The court declined to name a specific facility, rejecting the defense request to steer him to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey.
  • RDAP is a 500-hour, nine-month treatment program that can reduce a sentence by up to one year if completed and approved.
  • The Bureau of Prisons will decide both facility placement and RDAP admission, and any early-release credit remains discretionary and may hinge on probation report details.
  • Combs is serving a 50-month sentence and a $500,000 fine for two Mann Act convictions, with time at Brooklyn’s federal jail since September 2024 counting toward his term.
