Disgraced rapper Sean Diddy Combs was recently caught consuming homemade alcohol while serving time at the federal low-security prison FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey.
The DIY beverage was made by mixing Fanta soda, sugar, apples, and giving the mix time to ferment for around two weeks into a low percentage alcoholic beverage.
This incident is especially notable due to the fact that, before his sentencing by the Judge last month, he made it clear in court that he had been sober for the first time in 25 years.
He also emphasized his commitment to reform. As per reports, the star alleged that prison officials considered moving him out to another unit, but soon reversed the decision and kept him in the same unit.
The incident could have serious consequences. Under federal prison rules, the introduction or making of alcohol by inmates is considered to be a serious prohibited act.
While reps of the rapper have pushed back against those claims and noted that he’s focusing more on working on himself and doing better each day, plenty of questions have arisen regarding the matter.
If true, the incident might have major consequences under federal prison rules. The introduction or making of alcohol by inmates is considered to be a prohibitive act in severe terms.
The matter does raise questions about his attempt to be sober as well as the potential impacts on his prison privileges.
