Diddy Partially Wins Prison Request As Judge Allows Regional Placement & Substance Ab*se Program Consideration

Diddy’s request to serve his sentence at a specific New Jersey prison has been partly denied, though the judge is granting him some flexibility.

According to a court reporter, the newly filed documents reveal that Judge Arun Subramanian declined to recommend FCI Fort Dix by name, stating he “will recommend a facility in the geographic location of the defense’s choosing.” The judge also added that Diddy “be considered for admission to any available substance ab*se program.”

Earlier this week, Diddy’s attorney Teny Geragos asked that he be placed at Fort Dix to help him “address drug abuse issues” and “maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts.” His lawyer Mark Geragos warned that Diddy “will have a target on his back” in other facilities.

While the Bureau of Prisons has the final say, this ruling gives Diddy a chance to remain close to home while pursuing rehabilitation.
