Sentencing Details
The court sentenced Combs to four years in prison, ordered him to participate in substance abuse and mental health programs, and imposed a $500,000 fine. His projected release date is May 8, 2028.
Before being transferred to Fort Dix in New Jersey, Combs was held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, NY. He recently celebrated his 56th birthday in prison, where his dinner option included navy beans or cheese pizza.
