Combs reportedly placed in special housing during prison probe

Sean Combs has reportedly been placed in a special housing unit at the Federal Correctional Institution at Fort Dix, New Jersey, while prison officials investigate allegations that he received contraband and special treatment from other inmates. The reported move is attributed to unnamed sources, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons has not confirmed Combs’s individual confinement status or whether he is under investigation. The allegations stem from accounts by four men who spent time in Combs’s prison unit. They told NBC that inmates cooked for him, performed tasks such as cleaning and laundry, and provided other services. According to their accounts, outside deposits replenished the commissary accounts of inmates who worked for him. The reported placement in the special housing unit is described as a measure pending the investigation’s outcome. The men also alleged that Combs had access to a cell phone and other prohibited items. The accounts included claims that he used a phone to access Instagram and that liquor and medication were available to him.
