Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Starts Prison Term at Fort Dix
Sean “Diddy” Combs has begun his prison term at Fort Dix, a low-security federal facility in New Jersey. This transfer occurred on Thursday as he starts serving his sentence related to prostitution charges.
Details of Sean Combs’ Sentence
Combs was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He is set to serve a total of 50 months, which is a bit more than four years. Combs requested his incarceration at Fort Dix specifically to access its drug treatment program and to remain close to his family.
Time Served and Release Projections
As of his transfer, Combs has already spent 13 months in federal custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York. This time will be deducted from his overall sentence. His anticipated release date is May 8, 2028, according to the Bureau of Prisons.
Appeal and Legal Efforts
Combs’ legal team is actively appealing his conviction and requested a faster schedule from a federal appeals court. Additionally, former President Donald Trump confirmed that Combs has sought a pardon, though no decision has been reached yet.
What to Expect at Fort Dix
Fort Dix is noteworthy for housing several high-profile inmates in the past, including Joe Giudice, known from “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” The prison provides a commissary where inmates can purchase snacks. Prices include:
- Rice cakes: $5.75
- White tuna: $3.75
- Pop Tarts: $2.85
Notably, the commissary does not offer applesauce, a favorite of Combs, who allegedly enjoyed it on cheeseburgers.
