Overview

• Judge Arun Subramanian said he will recommend that Sean Combs be incarcerated as close as possible to the New York metropolitan area and be considered for the Bureau of Prisons’ Residential Drug Abuse Program.
• The court declined the defense’s request to recommend FCI Fort Dix specifically, noting that the Bureau of Prisons determines the exact facility.
• Reports indicate Combs has qualified for RDAP, a roughly 500-hour program that can yield up to a year of sentence reduction upon completion under BOP rules.
• Prosecutors took no position on placement, and the Bureau of Prisons has not announced where Combs will serve or whether he will be admitted to RDAP.
• Combs was sentenced on October 3 to 50 months in federal prison and a $500,000 fine for Mann Act convictions, will receive credit for time served, and plans to appeal.
