What Prison Is Diddy In?
Diddy is held at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security federal correctional institution located in Burlington County, New Jersey. FCI Fort Dix is one of the largest federal prisons in the United States by population, housing thousands of male inmates in low-security conditions. It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and sits on the grounds of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.
What Was Diddy Convicted Of?
Sean Combs was arrested in September 2024 and faced charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for the purposes of prostitution. The indictment alleged that Combs ran a criminal enterprise in which victims — including women — were coerced into participating in recorded sexual acts, referred to in court documents as “Freak Offs.” Combs was held without bail prior to trial due to the court’s assessment that he posed a flight risk and a danger to witnesses. He was subsequently convicted and sentenced.
How Long Is Diddy’s Sentence?
Sean Combs received a federal sentence of approximately 50 months (just over four years). Under the Federal Bureau of Prisons system, federal inmates may earn good conduct time credits that reduce the time they actually serve. His projected release date, based on BOP records, is April 25, 2028.
Diddy’s Appeal in 2026
Diddy’s legal team filed an appeal in early 2026, challenging aspects of his conviction. As is standard with federal appeals, the process is expected to take considerable time and he remains at FCI Fort Dix while the appeal is pending. No court date for the appeal hearing has been publicly confirmed at the time of writing.
