Diddy Could Lose Up to 41 Days of Prison Time Credits if Phone Claims Are Proved, US Rules Show

Sean 'Diddy' Combs could lose 41 days of good conduct time if a prison disciplinary hearing finds that he kept a phone. Bureau of Prisons rules ordinarily allow 27 to 41 days of good conduct time to be disallowed for a Greatest-severity violation. Inmates earn the credit off a sentence for good behaviour. Losing it would delay his release.

On 29 September, NBC News aired footage that appears to show Combs, 56, holding a phone at Fort Dix. NBC's sources, four men who shared his unit, say he uses a contraband phone for Instagram. A minimum loss would move his bureau-listed release from 21 January 2028 to 2 March.
