Diddy will face intense scrutiny once he completes his 50-month federal prison sentence.
According to newly filed court documents, strict special conditions for Diddy's five years of supervised release have been revealed and paint a picture of a tightly controlled life after incarceration.
According to the amended judgment issued this week by Judge Arun Subramanian of the Southern District of New York, Diddy must comply with a series of special restrictions designed to monitor his behavior, limit his communication, and continue his treatment for substance abuse and mental health issues.
Diddy, who was convicted on two federal counts of violating the Mann Act, was sentenced earlier this month. Though he avoided conviction on more serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges, his post-release conditions reflect the severity of the case and allegations surrounding him.
Once released, Diddy must begin court-ordered outpatient treatment for drug and alcohol abuse, including regular testing. He is also required to participate in a mental health treatment program and must continue taking any prescribed medications unless instructed otherwise by a licensed provider. Probation officials are authorized to access his medical and treatment records as part of ongoing monitoring.
Given the abuse allegations that have followed Diddy, some instances of which his team admitted to during his trial, the court ordered him to attend and complete a domestic violence intervention program.
Life after prison won't be private for Diddy either. The terms state he must submit to searches of his person, home, vehicle, computers, and electronic devices at any time without prior notice and based on reasonable suspicion. He must also provide access to financial records at the request of his probation officer, avoid contact with victims at all costs, including through third parties, and refrain from possessing firearms or ammunition. Failure to comply could land Diddy back in federal custody.
Although he has been sentenced, Diddy has not yet been assigned to a facility. Judge Subramanian suggested that he serve his time near the New York metro area, and his legal team has asked that he be placed at the low-security FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, a prison with a history of high-profile inmates. The final decision will be up to the Bureau of Prisons.
