Sean Combs is now scheduled for release from federal prison on April 25, 2028, according to updated records from the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The revised date moves his expected return home forward by more than five weeks.
Combs, 56, is currently serving a 50-month sentence at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security federal correctional institution in New Jersey. He has been incarcerated since his September 2024 arrest and was transferred to Fort Dix the following month.
His projected release date has shifted several times since his sentencing. Upon his arrival at the facility last October, the Bureau of Prisons listed May 8, 2028, as his anticipated release. In November, that date was extended to June 4, 2028. Media outlets at the time reported that the change may have been linked to alleged disciplinary infractions, though representatives for Combs denied any rule violations and declined further comment. The Bureau of Prisons does not publicly detail the reasons behind individual sentence adjustments.
The music executive, founder of Bad Boy Records, was originally charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The case centered on allegations involving so-called “freak-offs” with former partners, including singer Cassie Ventura, and male escorts. After a seven-week federal trial last summer, Combs was acquitted of the most serious charges but convicted on two prostitution-related counts, resulting in his current sentence.
He is now appealing both his sentencing and the federal statute under which he was convicted. A hearing in the case is scheduled for April. Legal analysts note that while appeals can affect sentencing outcomes, adjustments to projected release dates more commonly stem from administrative calculations related to good conduct time and participation in prison programming.
During his incarceration, Combs has reportedly been working in the prison’s chapel library. He has also enrolled in the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP), an intensive federal treatment initiative that can reduce an inmate’s sentence by up to one year upon successful completion. Participation in RDAP is often factored into sentence recalculations, though final reductions depend on eligibility requirements and program completion.
A spokesperson previously said Combs is “taking his time there seriously and working every day toward healing and coming home.”
If the current date holds, Combs will serve just over three and a half years in federal custody before his projected release in April 2028.
