Sean 'Diddy' Combs moved to Pennsylvania prison facility

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 16 Oct, 22:32 · Archive

Music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been transferred to a low-security federal prison in Pennsylvania.

Music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs, 56, has been transferred from FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey to FCI Allenwood Low, a low-security federal prison south of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, about 155 miles west of New York City.

The transfer follows reports from NBC News that Combs was living a luxury lifestyle at Fort Dix. According to NBC, he had access to contraband mobile phones and Hennessy cognac, and fellow inmates allegedly cooked, cleaned, made his bed and gave him massages. NBC also reported he was involved in two fights and was stripped of 41 days for good conduct, pushing back his scheduled release date to 2 March 2028.

The Bureau of Prisons declined to discuss the reasons for the move, citing privacy, safety and security. However, Jose Rojas, union secretary for local federal prison employees, told NBC News the transfer was due to 'disruptive behaviour', saying 'He's been causing too much trouble over there.' Combs' spokesman said the move between low-security facilities was 'consistent with a decision made with safety and security in mind'.

Combs was sentenced to 50 months in July 2025 following conviction on prostitution-related charges. He has filed an appeal requesting his release and conviction be overturned.
