# Sean Diddy Combs: prison fight pushes release to Feb 2028 > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/cassie-ventura-residency-lawsuit > Updated: 2026-08-05T19:07:22.000Z. Sources: 209. Developments: 27. Sean “Diddy” Combs is serving a 50‑month federal sentence at low‑security FCI Fort Dix, New Jersey. A July altercation with another inmate led to his placement in the Special Housing Unit (solitary confinement) and coincided with a Bureau of Prisons update that moved his projected release from 24 January 2028 to 20 February 2028. Officials have offered no detailed explanation and have not confirmed the specifics of the disciplinary action; the length of the segregation remains undisclosed, though it could affect his good‑conduct credit. While incarcerated, Combs faces several civil suits: a former child actor alleges a 2007 sexual assault, and producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones claims assault and seeks medical records. Both cases remain pending and are denied by his representatives as baseless. Singer Cassie Ventura, a co‑defendant in the original Mann Act case, now lives abroad and is trying to transfer the Clayton Howard lawsuit to New York while seeking a protective order against Howard’s threats. Efforts to obtain a presidential pardon have resurfaced, with former President Donald Trump reportedly considering clemency as part of a broader initiative. Outside prison, Combs sold his Star Island waterfront estate for $55 million, and a 2024 raid on his Los Angeles home seized $9,000 in cash and electronic devices. He continues a drug‑abuse rehabilitation program that could reduce his term and his legal team is actively appealing his conviction, arguing the sentence is excessive. ## Claims - Combs was convicted in October 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and acquitted of racketeering and sex‑trafficking charges.
