Diddy Begins 50‑Month Fort Dix Sentence, Assigned Laundry

Sean “Diddy” Combs was transferred from MDC Brooklyn to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey to begin his 50-month sentence, with a projected release date of May 8, 2028. He was convicted on two counts of transportation for the purpose of prostitution and acquitted of racketeering and sex‑trafficking charges. Multiple outlets report his first prison job is laundry duty washing and drying inmates’ clothes, and he has been in custody since his September 2024 arrest. He was assessed roughly $500,000 in fines, and his lawyer is pressing for an expedited appeal. His legal team sought the Fort Dix transfer because it houses a drug‑treatment unit and allows greater family visitation; a presidential pardon was publicly discussed but the White House said it was not under consideration.
