Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Lawyers Request 50-Month Term in Low-Security NJ Facility
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal team is seeking permission for him to serve his 50-month prison sentence at a low-security facility in New Jersey. This request came through a letter addressed to Judge Arun Subramanian, aiming to place Combs at FCI Fort Dix.
Request for Low-Security Facility
Defense lawyer Teny Geragos emphasized the need for Combs to be housed in FCI Fort Dix. The facility offers a residential drug treatment program, which Geragos claims is essential for addressing Combs’ drug abuse issues.
Benefits of FCI Fort Dix
- Located approximately 40 miles from Philadelphia
- Provides access to occupational and educational programs
- Focus on family visitation and rehabilitative efforts
- Previously housed high-profile inmates
The facility is situated on the grounds of the joint military base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and is one of several federal prisons with such a program. Combs was convicted of two counts related to transporting former girlfriends for prostitution, leading to his recent four-year, two-month sentence.
Details of the Sentencing
On Friday, Combs was sentenced following a jury’s decision. He was acquitted of more serious charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking.
Public Apology
Before his sentencing, Combs publicly apologized to his two former partners: Casandra “Cassie” Ventura and a woman known as “Jane.”
Reflection on Actions
In court, he expressed deep remorse for his actions, stating, “My actions were disgusting, shameful and sick.” He acknowledged struggling with addiction and claimed that it impacted his life profoundly.
Combs noted the severe repercussions of his behavior, saying, “I lost all of my businesses and lost my career.” He recognized the damage to his reputation and his self-respect, declaring that he is “humbled and broken to my core.”
In a poignant moment, he conveyed to Judge Subramanian, “I can’t change the past, but I can change the future.”
