Sean “Diddy” Combs has been transferred from FCI Fort Dix, a low-security federal prison in New Jersey, to FCI Allenwood in Pennsylvania, Billboard reported. A spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons told Billboard that Combs was moved on Friday, October 16, to the low-security section of FCI Allenwood.
The spokesperson did not give a reason for the transfer. “For privacy, safety and security reasons, we do not discuss the conditions of confinement for any individual in our custody, including reasons for transfer,” the spokesperson said. Billboard reported that Fort Dix and Allenwood are the same level of low-security institution. Combs’s representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Combs had been incarcerated at Fort Dix since October 2025, after he was sentenced to four years in prison for arranging interstate prostitution events. He spent about a year before that at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, and that time will be credited toward his overall sentence.
Combs has reportedly been involved in several fights since arriving at Fort Dix and has been placed in solitary confinement more than once, according to Billboard. In September, an NBC News investigation reported that he had been living a “pampered” life at Fort Dix, including access to contraband smartphones, massages and cognac.
Billboard reported that Combs is currently set to be released in March 2028, though the Bureau of Prisons’ release schedule is subject to change. Combs is also asking an appeals court to shorten his sentence for violations of federal prostitution laws. He argues that his sentencing judge unfairly disregarded a jury’s decision to acquit him of more serious racketeering and sex-trafficking charges.
