*Sean “Diddy” Combs’ attorneys have issued a letter to the court asking a federal judge to allow the music mogul to serve his 50-month prison sentence at a low-security facility in New Jersey that provides substance abuse treatment.
According to NBC News, defense lawyer Teny Geragos has requested that Judge Arun Subramanian consider placing Combs at Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix “to address drug abuse issues and to maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts.” The attorney also highlighted the facility’s occupational and educational offerings.
On October 3, Combs was sentenced to four years and two months behind bars following his May 2025 conviction on two counts of transporting former girlfriends for prostitution. He was acquitted of related racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
Before sentencing, Combs submitted a letter to the court apologizing for his past conduct. “I want to apologize and say how sincerely sorry I am for all of the hurt and pain that I have caused others by my conduct,” he wrote. Prosecutors had pushed for an 11-year sentence, while his defense team argued for no more than 14 months.

In the letter, Combs addressed his abuse of Ventura, referencing leaked hotel surveillance footage from 2016. “The scene and images of me assaulting Cassie play over and over in my head daily. I literally lost my mind. I was dead wrong for putting my hands on the woman that I loved. I’m sorry for that and always will be,” he wrote. He described his domestic violence as “a deep wound that leaves an ugly scar” and added, “I honestly feel sorry for something that I couldn’t forgive someone else for: if they put their hands on one of my daughters.”
Combs also mentioned testimony from “Jane,” an anonymous witness who said she was coerced into sex with male escorts. He claimed he once believed he was “providing for Jane concerning her and her child,” but admitted he later “realized that I hurt her.”
Despite the conviction, Combs told the court that his time behind bars had reshaped him. “Jail is designed to break you mentally, physically and spiritually,” he wrote. “The old me died in jail, and a new version of me was reborn. Prison will change you or kill you — I choose to live.” He said he has become sober “for the first time in 25 years,” participates in therapy, and mentors fellow inmates.
Addressing the judge directly, Combs added, “I can’t change the past, but I can change the future.”
