Diddy’s Release Date Set for May 2028 After Good Conduct Time
UPDATE: Sean “Diddy” Combs is now projected to be released from prison on May 8, 2028, thanks to good conduct time. This significant development comes as the hip-hop mogul serves a 50-month sentence for federal prostitution-related charges.
Just announced by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Combs’ early release marks a crucial turn in his incarceration. Initially convicted in September 2024, the 55-year-old music tycoon has been serving time at a notorious federal facility in Brooklyn. His anticipated release is now set for roughly six months earlier than expected.
Official reports indicate that inmates sentenced for more than 12 months can earn good conduct time, allowing Combs to potentially shave off 54 days for each year of his sentence. This policy is designed to reward good behavior behind bars, which has allowed Combs to gain an earlier release date.
Combs was found guilty of transporting male escorts across state lines for drug-fueled sexual encounters with ex-girlfriends, leading to a major scandal that has captured public attention. His defense team has stated they plan to appeal the conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
In the meantime, Combs is seeking a transfer to the Federal Correctional Institution at Fort Dix in New Jersey. This low-security facility offers a Residential Drug Abuse Program, which his legal team argues would be beneficial for his recovery as a recovering addict. US District Judge Arun Subramanian has expressed willingness to recommend Combs for any available substance abuse programs.
Completing the intensive 500-hour program could enable Combs to reduce his sentence by an additional 12 months, according to prison consultants. This adds another layer of urgency to his situation as he navigates the complexities of prison life and recovery.
As this story develops, many are left wondering how Combs will handle the next few years behind bars and what his life will look like upon release. The music industry remains on alert, awaiting further updates on his appeal and potential transfer.
With a projected release date now firmly set, the next steps for Combs and his legal team will be crucial in determining his future. Stay tuned for more updates as this situation continues to unfold.
