Sean “Diddy” Combs now has a projected federal prison release date of February 20, 2028, according to updated Bureau of Prisons records published on August 5, 2026. The new date reverses a recent listing that showed Combs leaving custody on January 24, 2028. Sean Combs is serving his sentence at Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix in New Jersey. The Bureau of Prisons has not publicly explained why the projected date keeps moving, citing privacy and security rules when asked about changes to an incarcerated person’s release plan. Why Does Sean Combs’ Date Keep Moving? Sean Combs was convicted in October 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and received a 50 month federal sentence. A jury acquitted Combs of racketeering and sex trafficking charges, but his projected release timeline has shifted repeatedly since the conviction. The original estimate was May 8, 2028, before reports of moonshine use and an unauthorized three way phone call allegedly led to a later projection of June 4, 2028; Combs’ attorney denied those claims. A later reduction under the FIRST STEP Act moved the date through April 25, April 15, February 23, and January 24 before the latest update returned it to February 20, 2028. The newest revision also follows reports of an alleged altercation involving Sean Combs at Fort Dix and claims that he was placed in solitary confinement. Those reports have not been fully explained by prison officials, so the release date remains a projection rather than a guaranteed exit date.
