On September 29, 2026, Sean Combs , known professionally as Diddy, received another projected federal release date. Bureau of Prisons records now list January 21, 2028, moving the Bad Boy founder's expected exit 15 days earlier than the February 5 date reported earlier this month. Sean Combs remains incarcerated at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey under inmate number 37452 054. The latest adjustment marks the eighth reported change since his October 2025 sentencing, although federal officials have not publicly explained the individual calculations behind each update. Why Does Sean Combs' Release Date Keep Moving? The timeline originally listed May 8, 2028, then shifted to June 4, April 25, April 15, February 23, January 24, February 20, and February 5 before landing on January 21. A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson previously said the agency does not discuss personal release plans because of privacy, safety, and security concerns. Sean Combs is serving a 50 month federal sentence after a jury convicted him on two Mann Act counts involving transportation for prostitution. The jury acquitted him of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, while Judge Arun Subramanian also ordered five years of supervised release, a $500,000 fine, and credit for time already served. Sean Combs' attorneys are appealing the conviction and sentence, meaning the Bureau's projection is not necessarily the final word on when he could leave custody. At sentencing, Combs told the Manhattan federal court that he had been humbled and broken to his core.
