An ambulance rolled out of Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix about 1 a.m. Saturday carrying Sean Combs. Prison sources in New Jersey reported a head injury that needed outside care. He returned before the sun came up, conscious and speaking.
Details on the cause of the injury stay unknown. No one has named the hospital. The problem was not life-threatening according to the accounts that surfaced.
The timing stands out. Just weeks earlier reports alleged Combs enjoyed massages, alcohol and a contraband cellphone inside the facility. Those stories pushed him into the Special Housing Unit known as solitary confinement.
Combs already did a stretch in solitary after a July fight with another inmate. Saturday’s injury has not been connected to that earlier clash in any reporting.
He is locked up for 50 months on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution from his 2025 trial. Acquittals came on the sex trafficking and racketeering counts. The projected release date now sits at March 2028 instead of January.
The prison is a federal correctional institution at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in Burlington County, central New Jersey. It sits in the broader Philadelphia metro region. Bureau of Prisons rules keep medical and housing details private for every inmate.
Combs’ representatives say they know about the reports and are working to pin down what happened. His health remains their top concern.
