The Bureau of Prisons did not clarify the reasons for Combs’ relocation to the new facility.<\/h2>\n

Controversial music executive Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs, who received a sentence for prostitution-related offenses, has been moved to a different US prison following reports by the media about an alleged altercation and preferential treatment while incarcerated.<\/p>\n

The 56-year-old was transitioned from the Fort Dix facility in New Jersey to Allenwood Low in neighboring Pennsylvania, as confirmed by a spokesperson from the Bureau of Prisons to AFP on Friday.<\/p>\n

Both facilities are low-security federal penitentiaries for male inmates, yet Allenwood Low houses about 1,000 inmates, in contrast to the approximately 4,000 at Fort Dix.<\/p>\n

Reports from US media indicated that Combs<\/a> received treatment at a hospital for a head injury incurred during a fight with another inmate last weekend.<\/p>\n

Additionally, in September, NBC News reported that Combs led a relatively luxurious existence at Fort Dix, having access to banned cellphones and alcohol.<\/p>\n

The report also mentioned that Combs had individuals cooking and cleaning for him, along with someone providing him massages in a Chinese style.<\/p>\n

The Bureau of Prisons did not clarify the rationale behind Combs’ transfer to the new facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not discuss the conditions of confinement for any individual in our custody, including reasons for transfer,\u201d a spokeswoman stated.<\/p>\n

Combs was sentenced in 2025 after a scandalous trial that highlighted the alleged \u201cfreak-offs\u201d he orchestrated: sexual marathons involving hired male escorts, his ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura, and another unnamed woman.<\/p>\n

Although he was acquitted by a jury of the most severe charges against him, including sex trafficking and racketeering, he was found guilty of two counts of transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution.<\/p>\n

Combs is expected to be released from incarceration in March 2028.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
