It’s a small win for Diddy’s team because it was the prison his legal representation, namely Teny Geragos, suggested during the sentencing because of its top-notch drug abuse program, and it’ll be easier for familial visitation.
“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 RDAP purposes and any other available educational and occupational programs,” Geragos said, according to ABC.
If he participates in drug rehabilitation programs, he could shave time off his sentence, in addition to another 13 months being subtracted because of time served at MDC. So the Bureau of Prisons states that his
projected release date is May 8, 2028, which is on par with its requirement that inmates serve about 85% of their sentences, provided no hiccups.
He’s still not wholly committed to serving his sentence, as his lawyers have filed an appeal, accusing the court of misusing the Mann Act because he transported adults across state lines for sex.
Defense attorney Alexandra Shapiro is trying to get the appeal paperwork sorted as soon as possible, fearing that the typical legal timeline could see him face his entire sentence before it’s even considered,
telling ABC that
“An expedited briefing and argument schedule is critical to ensure that Mr. Combs’s appeal of his sentence does not become moot while the appeal is pending.”
If the appeal doesn’t work, there’s still a chance that
President Trump could pardon him, but last we heard, the
MAGA base wasn’t happy with the idea.
