Sean Combs is currently taking part in a drug rehabilitation program while serving time at Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix, a move that could reduce his prison sentence by up to a year, according to his spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer.
Commitment to Sobriety and Personal Change
Engelmayer said Combs has been fully engaged in the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP) since arriving at the low-security New Jersey facility on Oct. 30.
“Mr. Combs is focused on growth and committed to positive change,” he said, noting that Combs is also working in the prison’s chapel library and describes the environment as respectful and supportive.
Possible Early Release
Combs is currently scheduled for release in May 2028. Successful completion of RDAP can shorten that timeline, though he would still face five years of supervision afterward, including regular drug testing and mental health treatment.
Background on Sentencing
The Bad Boy Entertainment founder was sentenced on Oct. 3 to 50 months in prison after being convicted on two counts related to transporting people for prostitution. He received credit for 14 months already served. During sentencing, the judge pointed to testimony describing abuse and coercion of women, calling Combs’ actions “disgusting, shameful and sick.” Combs apologized in court.
Continuing Work Behind Bars
Combs has also restarted “Free Game with Diddy,” a class aimed at helping incarcerated individuals develop entrepreneurial skills and build self-worth — a program he previously ran at another facility.
The Bureau of Prisons has not commented amid the ongoing government shutdown.
