Diddy Moved to Pennsylvania Prison After Head Injury Reports at Fort Dix

NEW YORK. Sean Combs, the music mogul known as Diddy, was transferred on Friday from a federal prison in New Jersey to a low security prison in Pennsylvania, the Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed.

Combs, 56, is now held at FCI Allenwood Low, south of Williamsport and about 155 miles west of New York City. He had been housed at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey since October 2025. TMZ first reported the move on Friday morning, and the Associated Press reported the same transfer, citing a person familiar with the matter.

What officials confirmed, and what they did not say

The Bureau of Prisons confirmed the transfer to news outlets but gave no reason for it. The agency said it does not discuss the conditions of confinement for anyone in its custody, including reasons for a transfer, citing privacy, safety and security.

His spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, said placement decisions rest with the bureau and that Combs remains focused on moving forward at the new facility. Allenwood Low holds about 1,000 inmates, compared with about 4,000 at Fort Dix, and both sites are low security. Allenwood is the third federal facility to hold Combs. He was held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn before he was sentenced.

A hard two weeks at Fort Dix

The transfer follows a head injury that sent Combs to a hospital on Saturday, October 10. Reports differ on how he was hurt. Page Six reported that he hit his head on a bunk bed. TMZ reported an altercation on October 9 with another inmate, Christopher Coke, known as Dudus. Federal prison officials have disputed the reported fight, according to other coverage of the move, and no official account of the injury has been released.

Last month, NBC News reported claims from men held in the same unit that Combs had access to alcohol, massages and a contraband cellphone at Fort Dix. TMZ reported that he was written up more than once for phone violations and fights, was placed twice in the Special Housing Unit, and lost 41 days of good time credit and 400 days of commissary privileges. Those disciplinary claims have not been confirmed by the bureau in public statements about the transfer.

The sentence he is serving

Combs is serving a sentence of four years and two months, a total of 50 months, after a jury convicted him in 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The jury acquitted him of the more serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. Recent reports put his projected release in March 2028, after the loss of good time credit pushed the date back from January 2028.

Friday's move answers where Combs will serve the next part of that sentence. It does not answer why officials moved him now, and the bureau's short confirmation suggests no fuller explanation is coming soon.
