DiddyThe new prison faced allegations of sexual assault and “extensive” searches of inmates before it was moved last week.
Us found a series of lawsuits—which have since been dismissed—related to FCI Allenwood Low in Pennsylvania, in which an inmate accused a correctional officer of sexually assaulting him on three separate occasions and said the warden “failed to prevent further assaults through deliberate indifference.”
According to the detainee, who Us he chose not to name, the first alleged assault happened in October 2016, when the officer “singed him out and pretended to stop him” after he left the cafe. During the alleged interaction, the officer “take [the inmate’s] genitals while laughing and asking, ‘Do you like that?'” the lawsuit read.
The prisoner said he did not respond and felt “humiliated” – but the alleged incidents did not stop there.
Two weeks later, the inmate said he was attacked again. During this interaction, the same prison guard allegedly began “squeezing and touching [the inmate’s genitals] against his hand as he asked [the inmate]”What’s this in your pocket?”
The officer reportedly said he thought the prisoner was trying to take food out of the cafeteria. When the inmate told the guard he felt “assaulted and harassed,” the officer reportedly replied, “You haven’t seen anything yet.”
In the trial that received Usthe inmate said he reported “repeated aggressive sexual abuse” to Allenwood’s then-warden in a confidential email on Nov. 2, 2016. He said the warden responded that he would look into it, but never heard back.
The same day, the detainee said three officers handcuffed him and threw him into the Allenwood Special Housing Unit (SHU), where he was allegedly “beaten naked without clothes or underwear for 30 minutes in the holding cell” while several guards passed by laughing.
On November 9, 2016, the prison’s Secret Investigative Services questioned him about the allegations but later sided with the guard, who denied the allegations. The inmate was then ordered back into the general population of the prison but refused to leave because he feared “for his life” and was afraid to “confront his assailant,” according to the lawsuit.

On December 1, 2016, he said he was assaulted a third time by the same officer.
The guard was “grabbing, pressing, and touching [the inmate’s] genitals and said, ‘Do you like that?'” before adding “he put his fingers in [the inmate’s] anus, saying, What therefore?
After reporting the incident to the warden again, the inmate said he was “forced to sleep on a cold metal bunk in sub-freezing temperatures for six months” and was denied suitable clothing during the winter months.
The detainee said that as a result of the alleged assaults and the aftermath, he suffered from “psychological distress” from the background and possible post-traumatic stress disorder. He also said he had repeated nightmares about the alleged attacks, which made him “cry in agony at night”.
After a grueling appeals process in which his claims were repeatedly rejected, the case closed on August 21, 2024, when the appeals court agreed with the lower court’s decision and dismissed him.

Another lawsuit revealed that four other inmates sued a different warden from Allenwood and its regional director in 2018 for “gross abuse of authority,” saying they were victims of “extensive” resistance investigations.
According to documents obtained by Usthe four inmates said they had to strip “4 to 5 times a day, and then go through a full body scanner”, which exposed them to radiation.
The arrests said Allenwood officers conducted strip searches “without reason or probable cause to believe that contraband, dangerous or corrupt materials or weapons would be found.”
They also accused officers of “threatening” to lock inmates in SHU if they refused to participate in the prison’s Gate Pass system, a program in which inmates must perform jobs such as maintenance, groundskeeping, warehouse or stationary engineering work.
Despite their claims, the court dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice on November 23, 2020.
The disturbing allegations came to light after a Page Six report that Allenwood had previously been accused of “inhumane” treatment of inmates and was facing a separate criminal case involving an alleged plot by inmates to attack other inmates.
Diddy, 56, served part of his 50-month sentence at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey before moving to FCI Allenwood Low last week. In 2025, the disgraced rapper was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted of other charges related to racism and sex trafficking and has maintained his innocence throughout the legal battle.
He is expected to be released from prison in March 2028.
