Sean “Diddy” Combs could serve between one and three years in connection with his latest legal case, but his attorneys are pressing for an alternative to prison. Lead defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo said he plans to seek home confinement as part of the sentencing proposal, paired with mandatory therapy for anger management and substance abuse.
According to Agnifilo, Combs has acknowledged living with long-standing personal and emotional “deficits” and views this moment as an opportunity to address them. The defense argues that the state prison system cannot provide the level of specialized treatment Combs needs, and that targeted therapy outside the correctional environment would offer a more constructive path forward.
Agnifilo has already begun assembling a team of licensed mental health and addiction specialists who would work with Combs under court supervision. The plan would make therapy a formal condition of his release, with a structure designed to continue beyond any period of confinement. The legal strategy seeks to reframe sentencing as not only a punitive measure but also a framework for sustained recovery.
Combs’ willingness to undergo intensive therapy marks a shift in how he is confronting his personal challenges. His attorneys hope this openness will help persuade the court that rehabilitation in a controlled, home-based setting could yield better long-term results than incarceration.
The final decision will rest with the judge, who must weigh whether home confinement with treatment satisfies the principles of justice, deterrence, and accountability. If approved, Combs would remain under strict supervision while engaging daily with his therapeutic team, focusing on addressing the underlying causes of the conduct that led to his legal troubles.
Agnifilo is expected to discuss the case in greater detail during an interview airing Friday on TMZ Live and streaming on YouTube. The segment will explore not only Combs’ defense strategy but also the broader implications for how high-profile defendants may navigate sentencing in cases where rehabilitation is a central argument.
