Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs transferred to a smaller US prison

Music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, serving a sentence for prostitution-related offenses, has been transferred to a different US prison after reports of a brawl and perceived special treatment. The 56-year-old was moved from the high-security Fort Dix facility in New Jersey to the lower-security Allenwood Low facility in Pennsylvania, according to a spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons.

Both prisons house male offenders, but Allenwood Low holds about 1,000 inmates, compared to Fort Dix's roughly 4,000. Combs reportedly sought medical attention for a head injury after a fight with another prisoner last weekend. In September, NBC News revealed that Combs enjoyed a seemingly luxurious lifestyle at Fort Dix, including access to unauthorized cellphones, liquor, and personal attendants.

The Bureau of Prisons declined to provide details on why Combs was transferred, stating that they do not discuss individual inmates' conditions for privacy, safety, and security reasons. Combs received a sentence in 2025 after a trial that exposed his alleged "freak-offs," or sexual marathons, involving male escorts and his former partners.

He was found guilty of two counts of transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution but acquitted of more serious charges such as sex trafficking and racketeering. Combs is scheduled for release in March 2028.
