Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Moved From Fort Dix to Low-Security Pennsylvania Prison

NEW YORK, Oct. 16 (TodayViralUSA) — Sean “Diddy” Combs has been transferred from a New Jersey federal prison to a smaller low-security facility in Pennsylvania, the Bureau of Prisons confirmed, weeks after reports that he maintained a high-spending lifestyle behind bars.

Combs was moved Friday from FCI Fort Dix to FCI Allenwood Low, south of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, according to the bureau and multiple news organizations. Both institutions are low-security federal prisons for men, so the transfer does not raise his security classification.

Bureau confirms, cites privacy

A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson said Combs is incarcerated at FCI Allenwood Low and declined to discuss “conditions of confinement” or reasons for the move, citing privacy, safety and security. Combs’s representative, Juda Engelmayer, said the team appreciated the bureau’s handling of the transfer and that Combs “remains focused on moving forward.”

Allenwood Low holds far fewer inmates than Fort Dix — on the order of about 1,000 versus roughly 4,000, according to reporting by USA Today and Newsweek — and uses dormitory-style housing rather than individual cells.

Scrutiny at Fort Dix

The move follows an NBC News report that Combs spent thousands of dollars a month at Fort Dix and allegedly obtained prohibited items and paid other prisoners for chores and meals. Multiple sources had also told ABC News earlier this month that he was expected to be placed in special housing at Fort Dix.

Federal officials have not publicly tied those allegations to the transfer.

Sentence and appeal

Combs, 56, is serving a 50-month sentence after his July 2025 conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was also ordered to pay a $500,000 fine and serve five years of supervised release. His projected release date is March 2, 2028, after the loss of 41 days of good-conduct credit, the Associated Press reported.

An appeals court heard arguments on April 9 challenging the conviction and sentence but had not ruled as of Friday. The prison transfer does not resolve that appeal.
