Real Housewives of New Jersey star Joe Giudice has spilled the beans on life inside Fort Dix prison, where Sean “P. Diddy” Combs is currently serving time.
Diddy, who just turned 56, is doing a 50-month stretch in the New Jersey prison for two counts of transportation for prostitution. He’s slated to walk free on June 4, 2028, even though he was initially set to be released a month earlier.
Joe Giudice, famous for his stint on RHONJ, did a 41-month bid in the same institution after being found guilty of fraud in 2014. Joe suggested that Diddy’s experience in FCI Fort Dix will hinge on “how he carries himself,” adding, “As long as he keeps a low profile and doesn’t try to act like a big shot, he’ll be fine.”

In a chat with US Weekly, Joe also claimed he saw inmates engaging in group sex in the wee hours.
“I got up at, like, three or four in the morning to go to the bathroom, and you would see the craziest things in there, people you would never imagine,” Joe reminisced, adding, “[The guards] hear the shower going at night, and they just look the other way,” reports The Mirror US.
He also witnessed violence erupt over trivial matters during his time behind bars, telling the media outlet, “I’ve seen people get stabbed over an onion. You ain’t in there with the most stable people.”

Joe also pointed out that Diddy could avail himself of certain amenities while behind bars. “You can get your clothes tailored and chefs making food for you. That’s just how it is,” the 53 year old elaborated.
Another ex-inmate of Fort Dix shared insider info about the penitentiary, describing the living conditions as “horrible.
“There’s one bathroom per floor with toilets and showers, and everything is broken. A lot of the food is expired. It’s horrible. They don’t care,” they alleged. “I was there a day and a half, and I [told a] kid [I just met], ‘This isn’t a jail, this is an insane asylum!’ and he agreed. It was a zoo.”

On the other hand, Bill Baroni, a professor at Seton Hall Law School who served three months at Fort Dix, had some positive remarks about the facility. “Diddy’s life will be so much easier where he is now. He’s going from one of the most severe prisons in America to a low-security [one],” he commented.
A spokesperson for FCI Fort Dix responded to these comments, telling Page Six, “Any findings or accusations of sexual assault or physical assaults are not tolerated. Such matters are taken seriously and investigated thoroughly. Specific investigative matters and details are considered non-public information.”

Diddy was handed a 50-month prison sentence after being found guilty on two counts of transportation for prostitution purposes. Combs also faced charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, but the jury acquitted him on both counts.
Diddy has persistently refuted all allegations.
The Mirror US has reached out to Fort Dix and Combs’ representatives for their response.
