In a huge contrast to the spooky season parties he used to enjoy, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ prison Halloween meal will include baked fish, spinach and coleslaw.

Once famed for extravagant celebrations that blended luxury fashion with hip-hop excess, 55-year-old Combs – now inmate #37452-054 – is living a vastly different spooky celebration this year inside the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
The October 31 menu at the notoriously tough prison shows breakfast is served at 6am, featuring fruit, cereal, a pastry and skim milk.
Lunch includes baked fish or black beans with rice pilaf, spinach and coleslaw, while dinner – served after the jail’s 4pm headcount – offers a turkey roast with mashed potatoes, vegetables and whole-wheat bread.
Those declining meat receive two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches instead.
The contrast with Combs’ past Halloweens could not be sharper.
In 2023, he wore a Batman costume inspired by Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, posting videos of himself walking through crowds in full armour.
The previous year, he appeared as the Joker.
Following his arrest in a Manhattan hotel on 16 September 2024, Combs has spent the past year in custody.
According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Combs is projected to be released on 8 May 2028, roughly 30 months from now. His legal team has requested he be transferred to the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey – a low-security facility that offers the Residential Drug Abuse Program, while U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian has recommended Combs be considered for a substance-abuse programme.
Combs was sentenced to 50 months in prison after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
His trial in the Southern District of New York ended with acquittals on more serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering.
The verdict left him facing a significantly reduced sentence – but with credit for time already served and possible good-behaviour reductions, his release date could shift.
Combs’ pre-scandal and jail highlights include founding Bad Boy Records in 1993 before he launched the careers of artists including The Notorious B.I.G., Faith Evans and Mase, while releasing his own chart-topping albums such as No Way Out and Forever.
Across his career, Combs has sold more than 35 million records worldwide and won three Grammy Awards for his work in hip-hop and R and B.
