Sean “Diddy” Combs is seeking to serve his 50-month prison sentence at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, drawn by the facility’s drug rehabilitation and treatment programs designed for inmates.
The request from Combs’ legal team arrived on Monday, designating the low-security prison as the preferred location following the rapper’s recent sentencing for charges related to prostitution.
“To address issues surrounding drug abuse, and to enhance family visitation along with rehabilitation efforts, we respectfully request that the Court urge the Bureau of Prisons to place Mr. Combs at FCI Fort Dix for the purposes of the RDAP and any other educational or vocational programs available,” said Teny Geragos, one of Combs’ attorneys, in a letter addressed to Judge Arun Subramanian.
RDAP stands for the Residential Drug Abuse Program, recognized as the Bureau of Prisons’ most comprehensive treatment offering.

Considering the 14 months he has already served, the 55-year-old Combs could potentially regain his freedom in three years.
Details from the extensive trial in Manhattan federal court revealed that Combs’ “freak off” parties were rife with drug abuse and extravagance, featuring bizarre incidents such as baby-oil escapades.
Just prior to his sentencing, Combs enrolled in several self-help programs focusing on addressing drug dependency and issues related to violence against women.
Experts indicated to The Post that this was a strategic decision made to facilitate a lesser sentence, as Combs attributed his actions to struggles with drug use and mental health challenges.
<pSimilarly, on the eve of his sentencing last Thursday, Combs penned a letter to Subramanian pleading for a “second chance”, highlighting his sobriety as evidence of his commitment to positive change.
“I take pride in saying that I am working harder than ever before. I am dedicated to maintaining a drug-free, peaceful lifestyle, and I am grateful to God for my increased strength and clarity as I remain sober. God truly has a plan,” he expressed in his letter.
Combs also reflected on how he became “lost in drugs and excess” during his rise to fame, acknowledging the negative impact on his relationships, including those with former girlfriends who testified against him, such as singer Cassie Ventura.
