Sean 'Diddy' Combs moved from New Jersey prison to Pennsylvania facility
Sean “Diddy” Combs is now being held at a federal prison in Pennsylvania after a transfer on Friday, Oct. 16.
The 56-year-old was moved from FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey to the low-security section of FCI Allenwood in Pennsylvania, according to Billboard. The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed the transfer to FCI Allenwood Low. Both Fort Dix and Allenwood are classed as low-security institutions, which house inmates in dormitory-style accommodation with limited perimeter security.
A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson said the agency does not discuss conditions of confinement or reasons for transfer for privacy, safety and security reasons. FCI Allenwood Low sits south of Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
Combs had been held at Fort Dix since October 2025. Before that, he spent a year at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. That time counts toward his overall sentence.
He was sentenced to four years in prison for arranging interstate prostitution events described in court as “freak-offs.” He is currently set for release in March 2028. He is also asking an appeals court to shorten the term, arguing the sentencing judge disregarded the jury’s acquittal on racketeering and sex-trafficking charges.
The move came days after reports of a head injury and alleged special treatment at Fort Dix, according to Page Six. It followed by roughly two weeks a September investigation by NBC News that reported Combs lived a “pampered” life inside Fort Dix, involving contraband smartphones, Chinese-style massages and Hennessy cognac, according to NBC New York. Combs was also reportedly involved in several fights since arriving at Fort Dix and was placed in solitary confinement more than once.
The transfer drew a public reaction from 50 Cent. He posted a screenshot of TMZ’s coverage of the move with the caption “Diddy on the move, he gonna turn up in this next joint on gang!”, according to Complex.
No further detail on the reason for the change has been given. The Bureau of Prisons has not said whether Combs requested the move or whether it was ordered for other operational reasons.
