00:00As Sean Diddy Combs is settling into life at Fort Dix following his 50-month sentence for
00:04transportation for prostitution, we are taking a look inside his day-to-day life in this week's
00:10Us Weekly cover story. Diddy was sentenced to 50 months in prison in early October following his
00:15July conviction on two counts of transportation for prostitution. His spokesperson Judah Engelmeyer
00:20told us that Combs is currently on duty in the chapel library, which he finds it comforting and
00:26rewarding, and he gets to help other inmates out with their reading and their needs. And it was
00:31reported some of his new pals baked him a cake with ingredients bought at the prison commissary for
00:37his November 4th birthday, with Engelmeyer telling us he's met some nice people. People have been
00:42kind to him. Now Combs has been accepted into a residential drug abuse program, another program
00:48which can be difficult to get into, especially so early on, could reduce his sentencing by up to
00:54one year. According to Tyler King, a former Fort Dix inmate and creator of the prison reform
01:00organization A Voice From Prison, he says days are structured, but not meaningful. There are classes,
01:07books, and limited programming, but not the rehabilitative environment the public imagines.
01:12King notes that tablets, which inmates pay for, have recently become available. And Real Housewives
01:18of New Jersey alum Joe Giudice, who spent 41 months at Fort Dix for fraud prior to his 2019 release,
01:25tells us that Combs's fate depends on how he carries himself. As long as he keeps a low profile
01:30and doesn't try to act like a big shot, he'll be fine. Giudice observed violence over minor things
01:36during his prison stint, saying, I've seen people get stabbed over an onion. You ain't in there with the
01:41most stable people. Another former inmate who spent 17 months at Fort Dix between 2019 and 2020
01:47says the living conditions leave much to be desired. He tells us there's one bathroom per floor with
01:53toilets and showers and everything is broken. A lot of the food is expired. It's horrible. With his June
02:004th, 2028 release date, which includes the 13 months he spent at MDC and potential time off for good
02:06behavior, Combs still has a long way to go. Attorney Scott Rosenblum tells us best case scenario,
02:12he'll do 22 to 24 months minus up to six months in halfway house. His goal is to get home to his
02:18family as soon as possible and to make the best of his time there and be the best version of himself.
