America's bad boy did good this Thanksgiving. Sean "Diddy" Combs attempted to bring a smile to prisoners' faces as they spent the holiday locked away at Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix in New Jersey.
Combs was responsible for organizing and funding a two-day plan to deliver turkeys to every inmate at the low-security jail.
According to his rep, the music mogul worked internally with a group called Bankroll Bosses to purchase food from the commissary and prepare a prison version of a home-cooked meal — which he distributed to every housing unit at Fort Dix.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs Organizes Thanksgiving Prison Initative

Sean 'Diddy' Combs tried to do good this Thanksgiving.
In a statement shared by his rep, Combs told TMZ: "Thanksgiving, to me, is about making sure other people eat. Everybody misses their family. People get depressed during the holidays. We just wanted to come together as a family and do our own thing."
Combs received help organizing the Thanksgiving plan from former gang leader B.I., who shared in his own message, stating, "We cooked the food and sent it to all the buildings. Enough for about 200 people each building. It took two days to prep everything."

Sean 'Diddy' Combs was transferred to FCI Fort Dix at the end of October.
Combs and B.I. certainly faced challenges while pulling off their holiday acts of service, as there's no stoves or microwaves provided to prisoners. There are no knives, either, meaning inmates reportedly use their ID cards to cut up ingredients.
The Bad Boy Records founder seemed to have done some self-reflection during his time behind bars — and has appeared to make long-lasting bonds with fellow inmates at his new jail after being transferred from Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center on October 30.
