Diddy’s Lawyers Request NJ Prison with Drug Rehab for His Sentence
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal team has filed a request for the music mogul to serve his prison sentence at a low-security facility in New Jersey. The lawyers advocate for Combs to be placed at FCI Fort Dix, citing its drug treatment program as beneficial for his rehabilitation.
Request for Drug Rehab Facility
In a letter addressed to Judge Arun Subramanian, Combs’ attorneys emphasized that FCI Fort Dix will provide the necessary environment for him to address his drug abuse issues. The facility is part of the federal Bureau of Prisons and offers a comprehensive residential drug treatment program.
- Location: FCI Fort Dix, New Jersey
- Facility Type: Low-security federal prison
- Population: Approximately 3,900 inmates
The letter also highlighted that the prison’s structure would facilitate family visitation and tailored rehabilitative efforts. Judge Subramanian has yet to rule on this request, which is crucial for Combs’ path to rehabilitation.
Background of Combs’ Sentencing
Diddy faces a sentence of four years and two months following his conviction under the federal Mann Act. This law prohibits the transportation of individuals across state lines for sexual exploitation. His trial unveiled troubling aspects of his personal life, including incidents involving drugs and violence.
Despite facing serious charges, Combs was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering, charges that could have led to life imprisonment.
Combs’ Current Situation
Since his arrest in September 2024, Combs has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Time served there will count towards his overall prison term, potentially shortening his stay to around three years.
In a prior letter to the judge, Combs expressed a commitment to maintaining a drug-free lifestyle and stated that he has undergone a “spiritual reset” during his time in custody.
Overview of FCI Fort Dix
FCI Fort Dix stands out as one of the largest federal prisons, housing a diverse array of inmates, including individuals with high-profile cases. The facility has hosted notorious figures, highlighting its complex reputation.
- Notable Inmates: Mobsters, corrupt politicians, Martin Shkreli
- Distance from New York City: 64 miles (103 kilometers)
- Adjacent Security Minimum Camp: Approx. 210 inmates
Despite its size and scope, FCI Fort Dix has experienced security challenges, including contraband smuggling incidents and instances of violence among inmates. The facility aims to reform inmates while maintaining safe operations.
As the situation unfolds, Diddy’s legal team remains hopeful about the judge’s response to the request for rehabilitation support in New Jersey. The decision will play a critical role in Combs’ efforts to turn his life around.
