Sean “Diddy” Combs has returned to general population following his transfer to a new prison, marking a change in his living conditions after reportedly facing disciplinary action at his previous facility.
Jose Rojas, a union secretary representing Bureau of Prisons employees, told TMZ that Combs is now housed in general population at FCI Allenwood in Pennsylvania. The music mogul was transferred there last week from Fort Dix in New Jersey, where he had spent nearly a year behind bars, TMZ reports.
Allenwood houses approximately 1,000 inmates, compared with roughly 4,000 at Fort Dix. The smaller population could make it easier for prison staff to monitor Combs, though officials have not publicly explained the circumstances surrounding his new housing assignment.
Combs’ representative, Juda Engelmayer, welcomed the news while emphasizing his client’s safety.
“If this information is accurate, we’re pleased to hear that Sean has returned to general population,” Engelmayer told TMZ. “His safety and well-being are always important to us, but we have no specific reason to believe he is at risk.”
Combs is serving a 50-month sentence after being convicted in 2025 on two prostitution-related charges. He was acquitted of the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
His time at Fort Dix reportedly included multiple disciplinary infractions involving alleged fighting and the use of unauthorized cellphones. NBC News also reported that his life behind bars allegedly included access to alcohol, massages, elaborate meals and a contraband cellphone containing nude photographs.
The reported violations eventually landed Combs in the prison’s Special Housing Unit, commonly known as the SHU, which is used to separate certain inmates from the general population.
According to TMZ’s sources, Combs also lost 41 days of good-time credit, which can reduce an inmate’s sentence, as well as 400 days of commissary privileges.
The Bureau of Prisons declined to discuss Combs’ individual circumstances, citing security and privacy concerns.
“For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement for any individual in our custody, including housing assignments,” a BOP representative told TMZ.
It remains unclear whether Combs will face additional restrictions at Allenwood or how his reported disciplinary history might affect the remainder of his sentence.
