Diddy’s legal troubles continue to unfold as new details emerge about the conditions he’ll face once his prison term ends. Following his conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, the Bad Boy Records founder was sentenced to 50 months behind bars and five years of supervised release.
According to TMZ, once Diddy is released, he’ll be required to submit to random searches and avoid any contact with the victims in his case. He must also participate in outpatient treatment programs addressing both drug abuse and mental health concerns. Additionally, Diddy will take part in a court-approved domestic violence program as part of his supervised release conditions.
Judge Arun Subramanian handed down the sentence of four years and two months earlier this month. While the jury found Diddy not guilty on the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, he was still convicted on the two prostitution-related counts. The music mogul has already served 13 months at MDC Brooklyn, which will count toward his 50-month sentence. He’s also been ordered to pay a $500,000 fine.
It remains uncertain where Diddy will serve the rest of his time. In a letter to Judge Subramanian, his attorney Teny Geragos requested that he be transferred to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, citing its drug treatment programs and proximity to family. “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 wrote.
Judge Subramanian responded that he could only recommend a general geographic area, not a specific facility, leaving the final decision to the Bureau of Prisons.
