NEW YORK, Oct 17 \u2014 Disgraced music producer Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs, who was sentenced for prostitution-related crimes, has been transferred to a new US prison following media reports detailing an alleged brawl and special treatment behind bars.<\/p>\n
The 56-year-old was moved from the Fort Dix lockup in New Jersey to Allenwood Low in neighbouring Pennsylvania, a Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman told AFP yesterday.<\/p>\n
Both are low-security federal prisons for male offenders, but Allenwood Low has a population of around 1,000 compared to roughly 4,000 at Fort Dix.<\/p>\n
US media has reported that Combs was treated at a hospital for a head injury following a fight with another prisoner last weekend.<\/p>\n
And in September, NBC News reported that Combs enjoyed a relatively lavish lifestyle at Fort Dix, with access to contraband cellphones and liquor.<\/p>\n
The outlet also said Combs had men cooking and cleaning for him, as well as someone to give him Chinese-style massages.<\/p>\n
The Bureau of Prisons did not explain why Combs was transferred to the new prison.<\/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 said.<\/p>\n
Combs was sentenced in 2025 after a salacious trial that detailed the alleged \u201cfreak-offs\u201d he organized: sexual marathons involving hired male escorts and his ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura and another unidentified women.<\/p>\n
He was acquitted by a jury of the most serious charges against him \u2014 sex trafficking and racketeering \u2014 but convicted of two counts of transporting people across state lines for prostitution.<\/p>\n
Combs is due to be released from prison in March 2028. \u2014 AFP<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK, Oct 17 \u2014 Disgraced music producer Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs, who was sentenced for prostitution-related crimes, has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":931428,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[497999,64,63,498001,134,498000,136,6778,12274,37386],"class_list":["post-931427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-allenwood-low-prison","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bureau-of-prisons","tag-entertainment","tag-fort-dix","tag-music","tag-new-jersey","tag-pennsylvania","tag-sean-diddy-combs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/931427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=931427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/931427\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/931428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=931427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=931427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=931427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
