Sean “Diddy” Combs has been transferred from a federal prison in New Jersey to a low-security facility in Pennsylvania. The relocation, confirmed by the Bureau of Prisons (BOP), comes shortly after reports detailed allegations of a VIP lifestyle at his previous incarceration site and a recent hospitalization for a head injury.
Combs, 56, was moved from FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey to FCI Allenwood Low, a facility located south of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, approximately 155 miles (250 kilometers) west of New York City. A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson confirmed the transfer but declined to provide specific reasons, citing privacy, safety, and security protocols.
“We can confirm that Sean Combs is currently incarcerated at FCI Allenwood Low. For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not discuss the conditions of confinement for any individual in our custody, including reasons for transfer,” the Bureau of Prisons stated.
Combs’ representative, Juda Engelmayer, acknowledged the move in a statement to ABC News and The Guardian. “Decisions about inmate placement are made by the BOP, and we are not in a position to speak to the circumstances surrounding this transfer,” Engelmayer said. “Sean remains focused on moving forward, and we hope that his time at the new facility will be productive and without unnecessary disruption.”
The transfer follows a September report by NBC News alleging that Combs enjoyed special privileges at FCI Fort Dix. According to four sources cited by NBC News, Combs paid inmates to clean his cell and cook meals, including curry chicken, pizza, and empanadas. The report also claimed he received Chinese-style massages, smuggled in Hennessy cognac, and used a contraband cellphone and a “jailbroken” tablet.
Following these reports, Combs was placed in the prison’s special housing unit (SHU), a secure area for inmates with disciplinary issues. Additionally, he was docked 41 days of good-conduct credit. This disciplinary action pushed his projected release date from January 21, 2028, to March 2, 2028, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate database and reports from The Guardian and Page Six.
Combs was hospitalized on Oct. 10 with a non-life-threatening head injury. While TMZ reported that the injury resulted from a fight with another inmate, the Bureau of Prisons refuted this claim. “The story you are referring to is false and did not happen,” a BOP representative told the Associated Press.
FCI Allenwood Low, Combs’ new facility, has faced its own controversies. Page Six reported that the prison was the subject of a 2017 lawsuit alleging “inhumane” treatment, where a former inmate claimed he was confined in a freezing room without basic necessities. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals noted the prison engaged in “denial of the minimal civilized measure of life’s necessities,” though the case was dismissed on a legal technicality. In September 2025, federal prosecutors also indicted 17 inmates at the facility for an alleged gang-related conspiracy to assault other prisoners.
The transfer highlights the ongoing scrutiny of federal prison conditions and the enforcement of rules against contraband and preferential treatment for high-profile inmates. Combs is serving a 50-month sentence for transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution-related activities. His legal team is currently appealing his conviction and sentence, with arguments heard by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in April. The change in facility may impact the conditions of his incarceration as he awaits the outcome of his appeal.
