Summary

  • Feb. 23, 2028 is Combs' new federal prison release date, moving him up from April 25, 2028 while he serves a 50-month sentence at FCI Fort Dix.
  • The Bureau of Prisons would not explain the specific change, but said release dates can shift for good-conduct time, program credits and time served before sentencing.
  • The adjustment is at least the second recent revision: his date was pushed back to June 2028 in November, then later reset to April 2028.
  • Combs is still appealing his July conviction on two prostitution-transportation counts and separately faces more than 70 civil lawsuits tied to sexual misconduct allegations he denies.
