Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Expected Prison Release Date Advances Again

Sean "Diddy" Combs is slated to leave prison earlier than previously anticipated. According to Federal Bureau of Prisons records obtained by Us Weekly, the music executive's new release date is now set for February 23, 2028.

This marks another shift in his timeline behind bars. His original release date was scheduled for June 4, 2028, before being adjusted to April 25, 2028, and now moving forward once more to late February 2028.

Currently housed at Fort Dix, a low-security federal penitentiary in southern New Jersey, Combs is serving a four-year sentence. He was convicted in July 2025 on two counts of transportation for prostitution, though he maintained his innocence throughout the trial.

Legal proceedings remain ongoing, with Combs and his legal team continuing to pursue an appeal. While the case works through the system, he continues his incarceration. His attorney, Juda Engelmayer, recently spoke to Us Weekly about his client's current situation, noting that Combs is directing his energy toward the appeal process. "He's focused on the appeal," Engelmayer stated, adding that Combs is "looking back at his life and trying to figure out ways to improve and be a better person."

The lawyer also highlighted Combs' deep involvement in his own case. "He's become like a paralegal, if not a lawyer already," Engelmayer explained. "My experience [is that] clients who are deeply involved in their cases are the ones who get further."

In a separate development from earlier this month, a former child actor identified as John Doe filed a lawsuit against Combs, alleging sexual assault that occurred when the plaintiff was a minor.
