Diddy is living in general population at FCI Allenwood after time in solitary

Sean "Diddy" Combs is settling in at a new federal prison and he is not being kept apart from other inmates.

Jose Rojas, a union secretary who represents Bureau of Prisons workers, says Combs is now in general population at FCI Allenwood in Pennsylvania. He was moved there last week from Fort Dix in New Jersey.

A smaller prison

Placing him among the regular inmate population suggests prison officials are not overly worried about his safety. Allenwood holds roughly 1,000 inmates. Fort Dix has about 4,000. That smaller headcount could make it simpler for staff to watch over him.

Combs' spokesperson Juda Engelmayer said the team was glad to hear Combs is back in general population if the report is accurate. He added that they have no specific reason to think Combs is in danger and hope he can finish his time without trouble.

Why he landed in solitary

Combs is serving a 50-month sentence after his 2025 conviction on two prostitution-related counts. A jury cleared him of the more serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

He spent close to a year at Fort Dix. There he reportedly piled up violations for alleged fighting and for using contraband cell phones. Reports also described a comfortable life inside that allegedly included a smuggled phone with nude photos, alcohol, massages and upscale meals.

He was later sent to the Special Housing Unit, the section known as the SHU that holds inmates seen as problems. Sources say the Fort Dix violations wiped out 41 days of credit he had earned toward early release. Those credits can shorten a sentence. His commissary access was also suspended for 400 days.

The prison bureau's answer

Asked about the move, the Bureau of Prisons said it does not discuss the conditions of confinement for anyone in its custody, housing assignments included. It cited privacy, safety and security.
