Mr. Combs' transfer to the minimum-security men's correctional facility — which accommodates approximately 4,000 residents — occurred just prior to Halloween.
Per the facility’s approved commissary roster, acquired by Us, Mr. Combs will have an array of confections available for purchase during the upcoming festive period.
Traditional confectionery bars such as Snickers and Pay Day are priced at $1.50 and $1.45, respectively. A packet of chocolate-covered peanuts will retail for Mr. Combs at $1.60, while root beer barrel candies exceed the $2 threshold.
Should Mr. Combs opt for a more indulgent selection, peppermint twists are offered at $3.65 per unit, whereas a pack of Jolly Ranchers represents a considerable expenditure of $5.10.
The prison’s commissary also provides sustenance choices for residents prioritizing wellness. Items such as unsalted peanuts, granola blends, dill pickle sachets, Ultra Fit nutritional bars, and dried dates are procurable.
Among the most premium offerings on the commissary manifest are a $131 Score 7T tablet, affording individuals access to audio content, interactive games, and electronic mail. Internet connectivity, however, is not provided. Furthermore, walking footwear is attainable for $52, and personal audio devices can be acquired for $36.
Mr. Combs’ Halloween weekend is poised to markedly contrast with previous years. While the eminent artist has historically engaged in elaborate holiday festivities, either by hosting grand soirées or donning intricate ensembles, life within correctional confines offers limited celebratory opportunities.

Mr. Combs’ legal counsel, Teny Geragos, previously advocated for his client’s transfer to Fort Dix while he was housed at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.
“To facilitate the resolution of substance abuse concerns and to optimize family visitation opportunities alongside rehabilitative initiatives, we formally request that the court [emphatically] advise the Bureau of Prisons that Mr. Combs be assigned to FCI Fort Dix,” Geragos articulated in correspondence to the presiding judge.
Mr. Combs’ representatives — who had previously sought a 14-month custodial term — recently asserted that the circumstances within the MDC comprised “restricted availability of potable water” and “an absence of wholesome, or palatable, provisions.”
