Diddy wants to go to the Garden State.
As his lawyers are set to appeal his conviction and sentencing, and with about 70 civil lawsuits are still active against him, disgraced rap mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs prepares to leave the Brooklyn MDC prison where he spent this last year.
Diddy is expected to soon head for a more permanent correctional institution where he will spend the next three years.
Yesterday, his attorneys revealed that he wants to serve out his 50-month sentence in New Jersey’s low-security FCI Fort Dix.
The stated reasons are the prison’s drug treatment and rehabilitation program.
New York Post reported:
“Combs’ legal team filed request on Monday naming the Garden State facility as the disgraced rapper’s lockup of choice after he was hit the paltry sentence for prostitution-related charges on Friday.
‘In order to address drug abuse issues and to maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts, we request that the Court strongly recommend to the Bureau of Prisons that Mr. Combs be placed at FCI Fort Dix for RDAP purposes and any other available educational and occupational programs’, Teny Geragos, one of Combs’ attorneys, wrote in a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian.”
“RDAP, or the Residential Drug Abuse Program, is the Bureau of Prisons’ most intensive treatment program”
Diddy’s enrolment in these programs is seen by many as a calculated move to blame his crimes on drug use and mental health struggles.
Before his sentencing, Combs sent a letter to Judge Subramanian citing his sobriety as proof of his ‘hard work’.
“’I’m proud to say I’m working harder than I ever have before. I’m committed to the journey of remaining a drug free, non-violent and peaceful person. I thank God that I’m stronger, wiser, clean, clear and sober. God makes no mistakes’, he wrote.”
