Sean Combs moved to a lower security prison in Pennsylvania

The story

Sean "Diddy" Combs has been moved from a federal prison in New Jersey to a low security facility in Pennsylvania, the Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed on Friday.

Combs, who is serving a 50 month sentence, had been held at FCI Fort Dix. He is now at FCI Allenwood Low. The bureau said it does not discuss the reasons for any transfer, pointing to privacy, safety and security, though the decision was described as being made with safety and security in mind.

The move follows reports that Combs had been hurt in a fight with another inmate at Fort Dix. The Bureau of Prisons said that claim was false and that no fight took place.

A spokesperson for Combs confirmed the transfer and said decisions about where inmates are housed are made by the bureau. The spokesperson added that Combs is focused on moving forward and hopes his time at the new facility will be productive.

Allenwood Low is a much smaller prison than Fort Dix, holding about 1,044 inmates compared with more than 4,200 at the New Jersey site, according to bureau records. It has dormitory style housing, a recreation yard, a chapel, and education and work programs.
