Sean “Diddy” Combs is serving over four years at Fort Dix following his conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Enrolled in the Bureau of Prisons’ Residential Drug Abuse Program, Diddy is pursuing rehabilitation while also being eligible for potential sentence reduction.
Diddy’s spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, emphasized the mogul’s dedication to sobriety and personal growth. Engelmayer said Diddy is “committed to sobriety, focused on healing, and aiming to set a positive example for others.” Participation in the program could shorten his sentence by up to a year, highlighting the pivotal role of structured rehabilitation in his journey.
During his trial, Diddy and his legal team acknowledged his long-standing struggles with substance abuse. In a court filing, attorney Teny Geragos requested his transfer from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn to Fort Dix, pointing to the value of the program for recovery and family connections. “In order to address drug abuse issues and to maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts, we respectfully request that the Court recommend Mr. Combs’ placement at FCI Fort Dix,” Geragos wrote to Judge Arun Subramanian.
Life at Fort Dix
At Fort Dix, Diddy shares a room with eight other inmates and has taken on responsibilities in the chapel library. He described the environment as “warm, respectful, and rewarding,” according to previous comments to CBS News. This routine not only fills his time constructively but also reflects a meaningful step toward personal development.
His conviction followed a jury ruling earlier this year, which found him guilty of facilitating prostitution-related offenses while acquitting him of more severe charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking. Despite the severity of his sentence, Diddy appears to be embracing this chapter as an opportunity for transformation and recovery.
