The judge who sentenced Sean “Diddy” Combs last week suggested that he serve his prison term close to the New York area.
Combs was sentenced Friday to four years and two months in prison on two prostitution-related charges and was also ordered to pay a $500,000 fine. While Judge Arun Subramanian did not specify a particular facility, he noted that Combs should be placed in a prison offering substance abuse programs, including the Bureau of Prisons’ Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP), for which Combs qualifies.
Prosecutors took no position on where Combs should serve his sentence. Although Subramanian can recommend a facility, the Bureau of Prisons has the ultimate authority over his placement.
On Tuesday, Combs’ legal team formally requested that he serve his sentence at Fort Dix in New Jersey. In a letter to the judge, attorney Teny Geragos explained that placement at Fort Dix would address Combs’ substance abuse needs while allowing for family visitation and participation in educational and occupational programs. Fort Dix is a low-security federal correctional institution with more accessible visitation options and a range of available programs for inmates.
Combs’ trial earlier this year focused on allegations of human trafficking and prostitution. He was acquitted of racketeering but convicted on two counts related to the Mann Act, facing a maximum of 20 years in prison. Prosecutors had recommended a sentence of 11 years and three months, arguing it would reflect the severity of his crimes and align with similar cases.
