Diddy Transferred to Fort Dix, Sought Trump Pardon

Sean "Diddy" Combs has been transferred to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey to begin serving the remainder of a 50-month federal sentence after a July conviction on two counts of transporting people for prostitution; he was acquitted of sex‑trafficking and racketeering. Bureau of Prisons records and reporting describe Fort Dix as a low/minimum‑security facility on the McGuire‑Dix‑Lakehurst military base that offers a residential drug‑treatment program, and Combs’s lawyers had sought the placement to be closer to family and to access treatment. Photographs published by TMZ show the 55‑year‑old at Fort Dix and reports say he has been assigned to laundry duty after already serving roughly 14 months of his sentence, with a projected release date of May 8, 2028 that could be shortened by program credit, good behavior or a successful appeal. At sentencing he was fined $500,000 and ordered to serve five years of supervised release after his prison term, and his lawyers have filed an expedited appeal. The transfer ends a turbulent stay at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, and follows disclosures that Combs requested a presidential pardon from Donald Trump.
