As you know … the Bad Boy mogul was sentenced back on October 3 by Judge Arun Subramanian to serve a little over 4 years in a federal prison.
He was convicted on 2 charges of transportation across state lines for the purpose of prostitution, AKA the Mann Act.
Diddy was acquitted on the more serious counts of racketeering and sex trafficking.
He still hasn’t been assigned to a prison — remaining at Brooklyn MDC, for now — though Judge Subramanian did say he thinks the mogul should serve his time as close as possible to the New York City Metropolitan area.
Diddy’s attorneys asked the court to recommend to the Bureau of Prisons that Diddy be shipped off to the low-security federal correctional institution FCI Fort Dix, in New Jersey.
