FOX 11 Los Angeles • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Sean "Diddy" Combs, currently serving a 50-month sentence at FCI Fort Dix for transportation to engage in prostitution, has had his federal release date moved up to January 24, 2028, according to updated Bureau of Prisons records.
- His release date has been progressively advanced from June 2028 to April, then February, and now late January 2028, likely due to good conduct and participation in prison programs such as the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP).
- Combs was convicted in July 2025 and sentenced in October 2025, with his legal team appealing both the conviction and sentence; the appeal is still pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
- Despite the criminal sentence, Combs faces over 70 ongoing civil lawsuits nationwide, including a recent complaint filed in June 2026 by a former child actor alleging sexual assault.
- The specific administrative reasons for the multiple release date advancements remain undisclosed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
