“He Taught Us to Go Straight,” Prisoners Tell Judge

Support From Fellow Inmates

October 3, 2025: Ahead of his sentencing for two prostitution-related convictions, Sean “Diddy” Combs has received letters of support from fellow inmates at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. These letters highlight his initiative in teaching a business education program titled “Free Game with Diddy.” Inmates describe the course as transformative, noting improvements in goal-setting and discipline. One inmate counselor praised the program as “excellent,” and participants expressed gratitude for Combs’s guidance.

Convictions and Sentencing

Combs, 55, was convicted on two counts related to prostitution but acquitted of more severe charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. Prosecutors are seeking a sentence of at least 11 years, while his defense team argues that time served and his rehabilitative efforts warrant a lighter sentence.

Personal Reflection

In a letter to U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian, Combs expressed remorse for his actions and described his prison experience as a period of personal transformation. He acknowledged past wrongs and pledged to be a positive example moving forward.

Next Steps

The judge will consider these letters and Combs’s personal statements when determining his sentence. Sentencing is scheduled for today.
