*Published: October 7, 2025, 4:00 p.m. ET*
Rapper and mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has formally requested a judge to allow him to serve the remainder of his prison sentence at a low-security federal prison. According to RadarOnline.com, Combs, who was sentenced to 50 months behind bars and fined $500,000 following a conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, believes that Fort Dix in New Jersey would be better equipped to address his drug issues and help him maintain regular contact with his family.

### Combs’ Letter to the Court
On Monday, October 6, Teny Geragos, one of Combs’ attorneys, filed a letter urging the judge to recommend Combs’ placement at FCI Fort Dix. The letter stated:
> “In order to address drug abuse issues and to maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts, we request that the Court strongly recommend to the Bureau of Prisons that Mr. Combs be placed at FCI Fort Dix for Residential Drug Abuse Program purposes and any other available educational and occupational programs.”

### Background of the Case
Combs’ eight-week trial brought to light his years-long battle with drug addiction and a history of domestic violence. During a dramatic six-hour sentencing hearing, both Combs and his six adult children made emotional pleas for leniency. His attorneys emphasized that their client is a “changed” man who should be given mental health treatment and enrolled in programs targeting domestic violence and substance abuse as part of his rehabilitation.

### Fort Dix: A Low-Security Facility with Strong Programs
Fort Dix is the largest single federal prison in the United States, housing approximately 4,100 men. The institution itself accommodates 3,800 inmates, while an adjacent minimum-security satellite camp holds 200 more. Located on Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, just 75 miles from New York City, Fort Dix is classified as a low-security prison.
This classification means the facility has double-fenced perimeters, mainly dormitory-style housing or cubicles, and a strong emphasis on work and rehabilitation programs, according to the Bureau of Prisons.

### Notable Past Inmates and Security Concerns
Over the years, Fort Dix has housed many high-profile inmates, including reputed mobsters, drug traffickers, corrupt politicians, and controversial figures like Martin Shkreli.
During his incarceration, Shkreli was placed in solitary confinement following allegations that he used a contraband smartphone to operate his pharmaceutical company while behind bars—activities strictly prohibited for inmates.
The prison was once overseen by warden Lamine N’Diaye, who managed a Manhattan federal jail at the time financier Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide there in 2019. N’Diaye has since retired.

### Contraband Issues and Enforcement
In 2019, Fort Dix experienced issues with contraband smuggling via drones, bringing in prohibited items such as cellphones, tobacco, weight-loss supplements, and eyeglasses. The same year, a correctional officer pleaded guilty to accepting bribes to smuggle contraband into the facility.

### Life at Fort Dix: Food Options and Facilities
If Combs’ request is granted, the 55-year-old music mogul will have access to an extensive commissary selection, including snacks like pork rinds, plantain chips, Doritos, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and even octopus.
