Diddy's Prison Release Date Moved to January 21, 2028
According to Federal Bureau of Prisons records, Sean Combs could leave Fort Dix about two weeks earlier than the date listed until now.
Sean Combs is now due to leave the federal prison FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey on January 21, 2028, according to Federal Bureau of Prisons records. The date was moved earlier again on September 29, US outlets TMZ and Complex report.
Until now the records showed February 5, 2028. TMZ says the release had been listed as February 20 before that, and that the date was originally entered as June 2028. Complex says only that February 2028 was listed at the start of September. No reason for the change has been published.
How far was the date actually moved?
From February 5 to January 21 is a difference of about two weeks. TMZ’s article says the release was moved up by another month, which does not match the dates it gives itself, so this piece goes by the arithmetic of the dates.
Counted from February 20, the gap is about a month. That is the sum of two changes, not one.
What is known about the sentence and the time at Fort Dix?
In July 2025, Combs was found guilty at his federal trial on two counts of transporting people across state lines for prostitution, under the law known as the Mann Act. He was acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking charges. He was sentenced to 50 months in prison, and Complex reports that he appealed quickly.
In 2026 he reportedly got into a fight with another inmate and spent a short time in solitary confinement. Complex asked the Bureau of Prisons for comment at the time. A Bureau spokesperson answered by pointing to the agency’s general rule:
“For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not release information regarding the conditions of confinement for any inmate, including housing assignments, nor do we discuss whether a particular inmate is the subject of allegations, investigations, or sanctions.”
The statement was given earlier, in response to the fight and the solitary stay, not to the change in the release date. In it the Bureau does not address Combs’ case, only says it does not share details about the conditions of confinement for any inmate.
What else happened on September 29?
The same day, a book about Combs went on sale under the title “Bad Boy for Life: The Rise and Fall of Sean Combs”. Its author is Rolling Stone reporter Cheyenne Roundtree, and Complex published an interview with her.
Combs is 56 years old. Judging by how the earlier dates have shifted, the date in the records holds only until the next one is entered.
