Sean “Diddy” Combs is now scheduled for release from federal custody on February 23, 2028, according to updated records from the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The revised date marks another adjustment in a series of changes that have gradually moved his projected release timeline forward over recent months.
Earlier in the year, official records listed Combs’ expected release as April 15, 2028. Before that, the date had shifted multiple times, including April 25, 2028 and June 4, 2028. While authorities have not publicly explained the reasons behind each adjustment, such changes are often linked to administrative credit calculations, program participation, and custody classifications within the federal system.
Combs is currently serving his sentence at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, where inmates may have access to rehabilitation programming, including drug-abuse treatment initiatives. His legal team previously requested placement at the facility, citing both access to treatment resources and proximity to family as factors relevant to his rehabilitation and case management.
Court filings show that Combs’ attorneys have also emphasized his participation in treatment programs while incarcerated. They argued in earlier motions that structured rehabilitation efforts should be considered in the broader context of his incarceration and appeals process.
Combs was convicted last summer on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution following a federal trial in New York. Jurors acquitted him of more serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, but the convictions still resulted in a 50-month prison sentence.
His legal team filed a formal appeal in December, challenging both the conviction and the length of the sentence. In court documents, his attorneys argued that the encounters at the center of the case were consensual and that the punishment imposed was excessive, describing the sentence as unjustified under the circumstances presented at trial.
Federal prosecutors, meanwhile, have urged the appeals court to uphold both the conviction and sentence, arguing that the trial record included evidence of coercion, threats, and abusive conduct. As the appeal remains pending before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, Combs’ projected release date may continue to shift depending on administrative calculations and the outcome of ongoing legal proceedings.
