Sean “Diddy” Combs is settling into his new prison, and we learned he’s doing so in the general population after being placed in solitary confinement at his previous facility for alleged misconduct.
Jose Rojas, a union secretary representing Bureau of Prisons employees, told TMZ that Diddy is now a general population inmate at FCI Allenwood in Pennsylvania, where he was transferred last week from Fort Dix in New Jersey.
Putting him in general population suggests BOP officials aren’t especially worried about his safety. Allenwood holds about 1,000 inmates compared to Fort Dix’s 4,000, which may make it easier for staff to keep an eye on him.
Diddy’s rep, Juda Engelmayer, told TMZ that if the information is accurate, they’re pleased Combs is back in general population. He said Combs’ safety and well-being are always a priority, but they have no specific reason to believe he’s at risk, and they hope he can serve his time safely and without unnecessary disruption.
Combs is serving a 50-month sentence after being convicted in 2025 on two prostitution-related charges. He was acquitted of the more serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
He spent nearly a year at Fort Dix, where he reportedly piled up violations for allegedly fighting and using contraband cell phones. NBC News reported that he lived a surprisingly comfortable life behind bars, allegedly including a contraband phone with nude photos, alcohol, massages, and fancy meals. He was later moved into the Special Housing Unit, known as the SHU, which is used for problem inmates.
Sources say he lost 41 days of good time credit, which can lead to earlier release, along with 400 days of commissary privileges.
TMZ contacted the Bureau of Prisons, whose rep said that for privacy, safety and security reasons, the agency doesn’t comment on the conditions of confinement for any individual in its custody, including housing assignments.
