Almost a year after being arrested in his federal sex crimes trial, Sean “Diddy” Combs is getting a change of scenery, TMZ first reported.

In July, Combs was convicted on two prostitution-related charges and acquitted on the more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.

Combs will serve the remainder of his 50-month sentence at FCI Fort Dix, a minimum security facility in southern New Jersey, located on a massive Air Force base about 40 miles from Philadelphia. The Bureau of Prisons has updated his transfer on its website.

The disgraced rapper had been incarcerated at notorious Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn in Brooklyn, since his September 2024 arrest.

The federal correctional institution, which also houses accused United Healthcare CEO’s murderer Luigi Mangione, is notorious for its harsh conditions. Combs’ lawyers have been complaining for months about how unhappy their client was, even claiming he saw maggots in his food (the BoP has since said that problem has been addressed).

Just recently, the fallen mogul’s friend Charlucci Finney dropped a bombshell that a fellow inmate had put a shiv to Combs’ neck in his sleep (the BoP did not comment on this story).

“Sean has kept a lot of this stuff to himself because he doesn’t want to worry his family,” the music producer told the Daily Mail.

The move, which took place Thursday, is a huge victory for Combs, whose legal team wanted him at FCI, due to its Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP). During the trial, the 55-year-old father of seven revealed in an apology letter that his time behind bars was the first time he’d been sober in “25 years.”

“Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Joe Giudice, who was convicted on conspiracy, bankruptcy fraud and tax offenses, is a famous former inmate. Though the sprawling compound is a far cry from Combs’ old digs in Star Island, Giudice’s attorney James J. Turner Jr. told Fox News Digital that FCI has “a camp setting.”

“It’s not a bad place, in all candor ... if you have to be in the federal prison system,” Turner said.

Combs’ release date is still set for May 8, 2028.
