Diddy’s shooting photo from New Jersey’s Fort Dix prison revealed
A new look at Sean “Diddy” Combs has been revealed as an inmate in federal prison.
CBS News posted Diddy’s shooting photo at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey on Monday, November 10. The former music mogul, 57, was transferred to the facility on October 30, just weeks after he was sentenced to four years behind bars on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
The photo shows Diddy wearing a brown shirt and with a somber expression. According to CBS, he works in the chapel of the low-security men’s prison, which houses approximately 4,000 inmates. He is also participating in a drug treatment program, the newspaper reported, citing prison documents.
Meanwhile, Diddy reportedly got in trouble for making an unauthorized three-way call and is now facing disciplinary action, including the temporary loss of his phone and commissary privileges, according to CBS.
After being transferred to Fort Dix, Diddy — who brought a Bible into the courtroom during his trial earlier this year — was given a coveted assignment as a chaplain’s assistant. “The duties vary, but typically the inmates maintain the chaplain’s religious library, clean their office and help with some administration,” CBS reported.
Diddy’s representative, Judah Engelmayerconfirmed his new job on Monday, telling the outlet that he “describes the environment as warm, respectful and rewarding.”
In the chapel there is air conditioning and the freedom to gather.
Diddy has also been entered into the Residential Drug Abuse Treatment Program (RDAP), the most stringent in the prison system. Inmates must qualify for the program, and if they do, their sentences can be reduced by one year.
Sean “Diddy” Combs rang in 2023 with a bang, celebrating the new year with his then-girlfriend Yung Miami and famous friends aboard a 278-foot, $117 million superyacht as it sailed through the Caribbean waters of St. Barts. At midnight, the hip-hop mogul threw golden bottles of Ace of Spades champagne onto the deck of the luxury […]
“He is fully engaged in his work, focused on growth and committed to positive change,” Engelmayer told CBS.
(Previously, Diddy’s attorneys had asked the court to allow him to “address substance abuse issues and maximize the number of family visits and rehabilitation efforts.”)
The illegal phone call violated prison rules that prohibit an inmate from talking to multiple people at the same time. He called a woman and discussed weekend visitors, recommending that they bring “200 singles” to their visit, according to CBS. He then asked to speak to ‘the digital person’ about blogs.
We weekly previously reported that Diddy will be released on May 8, 2028. He could leave early with good behavior or after completing certain programs during his captivity.
Sean “Diddy” Combs made an emotional plea for “mercy” in a letter he sent to Judge Arun Subramanian on the eve of his sentencing. “First and foremost, I would like to apologize and say how truly sorry I am for all the hurt and pain I have caused others through my behavior,” Diddy, 55, wrote. […]

He remained there during his trial, which began in May ended with a guilty verdict on the prostitution-related charges on July 2. (Diddy was acquitted of two counts of human trafficking and one count of extortion.) He has maintained his innocence and denied all charges against him.
In addition to his sentence, judge Arun Subramanian also ordered Diddy to pay a $500,000 fine and serve five years of supervised release when he leaves prison.
Before his sentence, Diddy expressed his remorse for his actions in a letter to the judge.
“I take full ownership and responsibility for my past mistakes,” he wrote in the Oct. 2 letter, obtained by Us. “These have been the hardest two years of my life, and I have no one to blame for my current reality and situation but myself. In my life, I have made many mistakes, but I will no longer run away from them. I am so sorry for the pain I have caused, but I understand that just saying ‘I’m sorry’ will never be good enough, because these words alone cannot erase the pain of the past.”
