Diddy's Incarceration Takes a Unique Turn as He Works in the Chapel and Faces Discipline for Unauthorized Call.
Sean "Diddy" Combs, the hip-hop mogul, is making the most of his time inside the Fort Dix federal prison in New Jersey by working as a chaplain's assistant. According to documents obtained exclusively by CBS News, Combs' role involves maintaining the chaplain's library, cleaning their office, and assisting with record-keeping.
The prestigious job comes with its perks โ it allows Combs to work in a private office with air conditioning and even get food for religious services shared among inmates. However, his new assignment also presents him with challenges as he faces disciplinary action over an unauthorized phone call just days after being transferred to the prison.
Combs was found guilty of prostitution-related charges and is serving more than four years in prison. Despite facing a serious offense, Combs' lawyers maintain that the call was necessary for work purposes and should be protected under attorney-client privilege. The Bureau of Prisons has recommended losing 90 days of phone privileges and 90 days of commissary privileges as punishment.
In addition to his new job, Combs is also participating in the Residential Drug Abuse Treatment Program (RDAP), a intensive treatment program aimed at reducing sentences by up to one year. His lawyers have emphasized that he is taking his rehabilitation process seriously, fully engaged with the program, and committed to positive change.
Combs' history of addiction has been well-documented, with his attorneys attributing his infamous "freak-offs" to drug use and excess. In a letter to the judge before sentencing, Combs expressed remorse for his actions, stating he was sober for the first time in 25 years and vowing to tackle his issues.
While Combs' incarceration is certainly an unusual turn of events, his dedication to rehabilitation remains a notable aspect of his prison experience. Will this newfound commitment help him turn over a new leaf, or will the challenges ahead prove too great to overcome? Only time will tell.
