While serving his sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Fort Dix, New Jersey, Sean 'Diddy' Combs helped organize and fund a Thanksgiving dinner for 1,000 inmates serving their sentences at the facility.

According to information released by TMZ, the celebration, which took place on Thursday, was a collaborative effort in which Diddy, along with a group called Bankroll Bosses, collected food from the prison commissary, dedicated two full days to its preparation, and distributed the meals to all the cells in the prison.

The menu, although prepared under precarious conditions, included roast turkey with side dishes, mashed potatoes, corn, and dessert.

According to the media outlet, the logistics were not easy. Faced with a lack of proper cooking equipment, the organizers had to improvise, even using ID jars to cut the food, as they had no access to microwaves or stoves. “For me, Thanksgiving is about making sure others eat,” Diddy said through his representative. “We all miss our families. People get depressed during the holidays. We just wanted to get together as a family and do our own thing.” The producer’s legal situation contrasts sharply with his own. In October, Combs was transferred to Fort Dix to serve a 50-month sentence after being convicted in July on two counts of transporting a person for the purpose of prostitution. In addition to the prison term, he was ordered to pay a $500,000 fine and serve five years of supervised release. His legal team is currently appealing both the July conviction and the four-year prison sentence. Despite the circumstances, Diddy shared a reflection on his experience behind bars: “There are a lot of misconceptions about prison. There’s a strong brotherhood. We all look out for each other. It’s a positive thing. It’s like a little home in a dark place,” TMZ reported.
