2:28 PM PT -- TMZ just obtained the first image of Diddy at FCI Fort Dix, and he's walking around the prison yard in a beanie and a jacket.
Diddy's gray beard is also visible in the photo, which was snapped Friday, and it's the first time we've seen him since his September 2024 arrest ... aside from court sketches from his criminal trial.

Manual labor may come as a shock to Diddy ... during his criminal trial, federal prosecutors claimed he couldn't even charge his own phone or fetch a bottle of water, and would send his army of personal assistants to basically do everything for him.
