Sean "Diddy" Combs is adjusting to life at his new prison, and we're told he's doing so while in general population -- after he was tossed in solitary confinement at his previous lockup for alleged bad behavior ... TMZ has learned
Jose Rojas, a union secretary representing Bureau of Prisons employees, tells TMZ ... Diddy is currently a general population inmate at FCI Allenwood in Pennsylvania, where he was transferred last week from Fort Dix prison in New Jersey.
It seems BOP officials aren't too worried about Diddy's safety if they're putting him in gen pop with most of the other inmates. Allenwood has about 1,000 inmates whereas Fort Dix has 4,000, so it might be easier for Allenwood staff to keep an eye on Diddy even in gen pop.

Donald Trump's personal attorney, Alina Habba, is denying a report she had a role in securing a pardon for Venezuelan billionaire Julio Herrera Velutini.
Alina fired back on X, writing, "If the New York Times simply went back and looked at their own reporting, they have already credited another capable attorney for what he successfully did without me and took credit for."
