Sean "Diddy" Combs' lawyers want the hip-hop mogul to serve his 50-month prison sentence for interstate prastitution charges at a low-security facility in New Jersey that has a drug treatment program, according to a Monday letter to a judge.

In the letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, defense lawyer Teny Geragos urged the court to consider placing Combs at FCI Fort Dix "in order to address drug abuse issues and to maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts."

Geragos also noted that the prison, situated approximately 40 miles from Philadelphia, offers occupational and educational programs. FCI Fort Dix is one of several dozen federal prisons with a residential drug treatment program, according to the Associated Press.

The federal prison, located on the grounds of the joint military base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, has also previously housed several high-profile inmates, including “Pharma Bro” Martin Shkreli.
