Famous Faces Feast Behind Bars This Thanksgiving
Sean “Diddy” Combs, Josh Duggar, Fetty Wap (whose birth name is Willie Maxwell II) and Jared Fogle are set to consume their Thanksgiving meals while incarcerated this year — and Us Weekly has exclusively obtained the menu details for these notable prisoners and their fellow inmates.
Combs, aged 56, will observe the festive occasion at Fort Dix in New Jersey, where he is serving a 50-month term following convictions on two charges of transporting individuals for prostitution. Duggar, 37, will mark the day within FCI Seagoville in Texas, having been found guilty in 2021 of acquiring and possessing child pornography. Concurrently, Maxwell, 34, will partake in the celebrations at FCI Sandstone in Minnesota, presently completing a six-year imprisonment for his involvement in a drug distribution operation. Fogle, 48, widely known for his endorsement of Subway, will spend Thanksgiving at FCI Englewood in Colorado, fulfilling his sentence exceeding 15 years for child pornography offenses.
“Apart from the meal itself, Thanksgiving represents one of the rare occasions annually when we are afforded respect and dignity by our custodians,” stated Justin Slavinski, a writer currently incarcerated, in a 2022 piece for the Prison Journalism Project concerning his holiday meals while imprisoned. “Our experience is neither rushed nor pressured. On occasion, correctional officers extend a ‘Happy Thanksgiving’ greeting as we receive our trays. There are times they even help with serving the food, condiments, or other accompaniments to the meal. And their demeanor is pleasant.”

Diddy's Thanksgiving Day Menu While Incarcerated
For his Thanksgiving repast on Thursday, November 27, Diddy is expected to consume a turkey roast accompanied by gravy, as per Fort Dix’s holiday meal plan, which Us procured.
A substitute option of soy chicken and vegetables will also be provided at the minimum-security institution, where the controversial music executive is fulfilling his 50-month term.
Accompanying side dishes will include cornbread, oven-baked sweet potatoes, and corn, with every inmate receiving a festive dessert.
Combs' evening meal will be a lighter affair, featuring either a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or a deli sandwich, served with potato chips and a piece of fruit.
Although the family of the imprisoned record producer maintains aspirations for a pardon from President Donald Trump, Diddy's scheduled release date remains June 4, 2028.
Concurrently, recent photographs of him within the correctional facility have surfaced, showing a notably altered appearance.
Diddy's apprehension occurred in September 2024. He faced accusations including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and the transport of individuals for prostitution. He entered a plea of not guilty, refuting all claims leveled against him.
During July, he received convictions on two counts of transportation-related offenses, yet was cleared of the other accusations. The previous month, he was handed a cumulative sentence of 50 months in prison. The 13 months he passed at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn are to be credited towards this duration.

Josh Duggar's Incarcerated Thanksgiving Offerings
On Thanksgiving Day, Duggar is scheduled to dine on either roast turkey with gravy or honey-glazed ham, as confirmed by an official from FCI Seagoville to Us.
Inmates at the low-security facility who abstain from meat will be provided with vegetable lasagna or peppers filled with vegetables.
Duggar's plate will include cornbread, broccoli and cheese casserole, green bean casserole, sweetened yams, and dinner rolls. He may conclude his holiday meal with a serving of pecan pie.
Furthermore, the recreation division at Duggar's correctional facility has organized a series of weekend events for the prisoners.
A trio of games — comprising pass/punt/kick, table tennis, and checkers — will be accessible to Duggar and his fellow inmates from Saturday, November 29, at 12:00 p.m. through Sunday, November 30, at 7:30 p.m., as detailed in an FCI Seagoville Recreation Department flyer exclusively acquired by Us.
Additionally, popcorn will be distributed on Sunday at 12:50 p.m., contributing to the festive weekend's offerings.
In May 2022, Duggar received a sentence exceeding 12 years in confinement following his conviction for the receipt and possession of child pornography.
His projected date of release is December 23, 2032, according to information from the Federal Bureau of Prisons' online portal.

Fetty Wap's Thanksgiving Culinary Selections
Similar to Combs and Duggar, Maxwell will partake in a roasted turkey, though his poultry will come with an array of classic accompaniments, such as mashed potatoes with gravy, sweet potatoes, dressing, corn, salad, cranberries, dinner rolls, and a portion of quinoa, Us is able to verify.
A slice of pumpkin pie will also be featured in Maxwell's Thanksgiving dinner.
The "Trap Queen" artist's low-security institution will provide an 8 a.m. church service and standard recreational pursuits, along with a HobbyCraft timetable, a representative from FCI Sandstone informed Us.
Maxwell's initial arrest in October 2021 stemmed from federal drug trafficking accusations. He entered a not guilty plea and secured release on a $500,000 bond, only to be apprehended again in August 2022 for breach of his release stipulations.
By May 2023, the musician known for "My Way" received a six-year prison sentence due to his involvement in the illicit drug distribution operation.
Earlier this month, Us exclusively disclosed that authorities had advanced Maxwell's projected release date.
His anticipated release is now December 8, 2026, which implies he will return home for Christmas in the coming year.

During November 2015, Fogle received a sentence of 15 years and eight months in federal prison, following his conviction for the dissemination and acquisition of child pornography, as well as interstate travel to participate in illegal commercial sexual activities involving minors.
His anticipated date of liberation is scheduled for March 24, 2029.
