Inside Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Life Behind Bars: His Prison Job, Drug Program and Rule Violations

Sean “Diddy” Combs is fully embedded in prison life.

The 56-year-old disgraced music mogul is currently serving a four-year sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix in New Jersey — where he arrived on October 30 — after being convicted on two counts of transporting individuals to engage in prostitution in July.

A new report published by CBS News on Monday, November 10, revealed that the musician already has a “desirable” job behind bars, working as the chaplain’s assistant.

“He works in the chapel library, where he describes the environment as warm, respectful, and rewarding,” Combs’ publicist Juda Engelmayer told the outlet.

Meanwhile, the rapper is also enrolled in an intensive drug treatment program.

“Mr. Combs is an active participant in the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP) and has taken his rehabilitation process seriously from the start,” Engelmayer told CBS News. “He is fully engaged in his work, focused on growth, and committed to positive change.”

According to the Bureau of Prisons website, “RDAP is the Bureau’s most intensive treatment program. CBT is used in a modified therapeutic community model where offenders experience living in a pro-social community. Offenders live in a unit separate from general population; they participate in half-day programming and half-day work, school, or vocational activities. RDAP is typically nine months in duration.”

However, the former Bad Boy Records founder reportedly violated a prison rule as he took a three-person call on Monday, November 3.

Per CBS News, “The Bureau of Prisons prohibits inmates from adding multiple people to a call, and inmates can only speak to people on prison phones from previously approved call lists.”

According to the outlet, Diddy insisted the phone call was with his lawyers over a statement to The New York Times. Prison documents obtained by the outlet show the “I’ll be Missing You” hitmaker claimed he was not aware of the rule. Prison officials filed a ruling the next day recommending Combs “lose 90 days of phone privileges and 90 days of commissary privileges.”

“It was a procedural call initiated by one of his attorneys and was protected under attorney client privilege,” Engelmayer told CBS News. “There was nothing improper.”
