Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the music industry executive, was relocated from Fort Dix federal correctional institution in New Jersey to FCI Allenwood Low, a low-security federal prison in Pennsylvania, on Friday. The Federal Bureau of Prisons did not provide specific reasons for the transfer, citing privacy, safety, and security considerations.
Combs, 56, is serving a 50-month sentence following his conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. His legal team indicated the transfer between two low-security facilities was made with safety and security in mind. A spokesperson for federal prison employees suggested the relocation resulted from disruptive behavior at the New Jersey facility. Reports indicated Combs had faced allegations regarding contraband access and other conduct issues at his previous location, which resulted in the loss of 41 days of good conduct credit, adjusting his expected release date to March 2, 2028, from an originally scheduled date in January 2028.
FCI Allenwood Low, located approximately 155 miles west of New York City, is a low-security male correctional facility housing about 1,044 inmates. This represents a smaller population than Fort Dix, which houses over 4,200 inmates across multiple campuses.
Combs was convicted following a jury trial in New York after federal prosecutors alleged he used his wealth, power, and threats of violence to coerce women into unwanted sexual activity. Two of his ex-girlfriends testified about alleged abuse and forced participation in events known as ‘freak-offs.’ The jury acquitted him of more serious charges including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. An appeals court is currently considering arguments to overturn his conviction, though a decision has not yet been issued.
