Diddy goes to Jersey.
Convicted rap mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has reportedly been transferred to a Federal Prison after spending over a year in the Brooklyn MDC jail.
TMZ reported:
“[Diddy] is all checked in at his new home for the next two-and-a-half years … TMZ has learned he’s begun serving his federal prison sentence.
Law enforcement sources tell us Diddy was transferred to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey early Thursday morning and began the check-in process. Remember, this is the prison he requested to serve his time at after Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced him to 50 months in prison.”
The Federal Bureau of Prisons apparently granted Diddy’s request.
“The mogul’s legal team said Fort Dix is the best landing spot for Diddy because there he will be able to ‘address drug abuse issues’ and ‘maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts’.
[…] The federal prison is low security, but Diddy’s longtime lawyer, Mark Geragos, previously told Harvey on the “2 Angry Men” podcast that Diddy will have a target on his back wherever he ends up … and concerns about sexual assaults and other violent assaults are real.”
Knews Radio reported:
“Combs was transferred this morning from MDC-Brooklyn to FCI Fort Dix, the facility his legal team requested because it offers a special drug treatment problem that, if completed successfully, could knock time off his sentence.
Combs is not being housed in the prison’s general population but in the special drug program unit, the sources said.
Meanwhile, Combs is asking a federal appeals court to expedite his appeal of his conviction on two prostitution-related charges, arguing he could finish his prison sentence before his appeal is heard on a normal timetable.
Combs is appealing his conviction and his sentence.”
