The U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons has confirmed that disgraced former hip-hop entertainment mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has completed a transfer between federal correctional facilities, moving from a New Jersey prison to a low-security institution in rural Pennsylvania. The move, carried out on Friday, placed the 56-year-old music industry figure at FCI Allenwood Low, a facility designed exclusively for male offenders that sits roughly 155 miles west of New York City. Prison officials have declined to share details behind the transfer, citing long-standing policies that protect inmate privacy, safety and institutional security. A spokesperson for Combs emphasized that the transfer between two low-security facilities is a key detail to note, adding that the move aligns with administrative decisions centered on upholding safety and security standards across the federal prison system. Combs was convicted in 2025 on two felony counts of transportation to engage in prostitution following a high-profile public trial in New York, where federal prosecutors accused him of leveraging his wealth, celebrity influence and threats of violence to coerce multiple women into non-consensual sexual encounters. During the trial, two of Combs’ former romantic partners testified that he physically and sexually abused them, and forced them to participate in unwanted sexual encounters with third-party male escorts. A jury ultimately acquitted Combs of the more severe charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, and he was sentenced to 50 months, or just over four years, in federal prison that October. Shortly after sentencing, Combs was moved to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, a large facility that holds more than 4,200 inmates across its two campuses, where he served his sentence until Friday’s transfer. In contrast, FCI Allenwood Low has a far smaller incarcerated population, holding approximately 1,044 inmates as listed on the facility’s official website. Medium and maximum-security facilities operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons are located adjacent to the low-security Allenwood campus. Since entering prison, Combs has appealed his conviction and sentence to a federal appeals court, asking the court to reverse the guilty verdict and order his immediate release from custody. Oral arguments in the appeal were heard this past April, but the court has not yet released a ruling on the case. As of current prison online records, Combs is scheduled for release from federal custody on March 2, 2028. The transfer comes amid unconfirmed circulating reports from media outlets, including an Associated Press account that claimed Combs enjoyed unusual, luxury accommodations during his time at the Fort Dix facility, as well as tabloid speculation surrounding Combs’ health and treatment in custody. Combs’ spokesperson Juda S. Engelmayer declined to comment on any of these unconfirmed reports, but stated that the defense team appreciates the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ commitment to prioritizing the safety and well-being of both Combs and all other people involved in facility operations. “We are grateful for the attention being given to his well-being and hope he can continue serving his time without unnecessary disruption,” Engelmayer said. Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesperson Donald Murphy reaffirmed the agency’s policy of not commenting on the specific conditions of confinement for any individual incarcerated person, regardless of their public profile. “For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual, including whether a particular individual is the subject of allegations, investigations, or disciplinary sanctions,” Murphy stated.
