Sean "Diddy" Combs was transferred to Fort Dix prison in October 2025 to serve out his 50-month prison sentence. A spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons confirmed on October 30, 2025, that Diddy was officially relocated to the New Jersey federal corrections institute from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, where he'd been held since his arrest in September 2024. At the time of his arrest, Diddy pleaded not guilty to charges of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking and two counts of transportation for prostitution. In July 2025, he was convicted of the two transportation charges but acquitted on the two counts of sex trafficking and one count of racketeering conspiracy. Judge Arun Subramanian additionally fined Diddy $500,000 and ordered him to complete five years of supervised release once he finishes his sentence. (Diddy has always denied any wrongdoing.) The prison where Diddy will serve the remainder of his 50-month sentence was founded more than 100 years ago as a military camp and has previously housed notable inmates such as Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Joe Giudice and convicted fraudster Martin Shkreli (a.k.a. "Pharma Bro"). Every Celebrity Mentioned During the Diddy Trial: Madonna, Prince and More Keep scrolling for more information on what Diddy's life will be like at Fort Dix. When Was Diddy's Prison Founded? FCI Fort Dix was initially founded as a military installation for training troops in 1917 when it was known as Camp Dix.

Each inmate is given a metal locker for their belongings. There is one bathroom area per floor, which includes multiple showers for the inmates to use. Diddy, however, will be housed in a special unit of the prison that is dedicated to drug treatment instead of serving time with the general population, ABC News reported. Did Diddy Want to Serve His Sentence at This Prison? Yes. Diddy's legal team specifically requested that the disgraced mogul serve his sentence at Fort Dix because of its drug treatment program, according to ABC News. If Diddy were to complete the Federal Bureau of Prisons' Residential Drug Abuse Program, his 50-month prison sentence could be reduced. A letter from Diddy's attorneys to Judge Subramanian suggested that the musician would be able to "address drug abuse issues" and "maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts" if he were allowed to serve time at Fort Dix.
