Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was arrested on federal charges in New York City in mid-September and was subsequently sent to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, one of the most notorious prisons in the country.
After being charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, a judge denied Diddy bail, meaning he’ll have to await trial at Brooklyn’s MDC, where he’s reportedly been sharing a living space with fellow notorious inmate Sam Bankman-Fried.
According to former Metropolitan Detention Center prisoners, the MDC is perhaps the worst jail in the entire federal prison system and that Diddy is now in “pure hell.”
“‘It’s a terrible, horrible place,’ an inmate who spent three months in MDC in 2019 says. ‘There’s no air movement, and the food is slop.'”
“Diddy may be subjected to regular strip searches, limited shower access and little contact with loved ones, not to mention the threat of violence. Prison consultant Sam Mangel describes sections of the facility as ‘pure hell,’ adding, ‘The MDC is probably the worst federal detention center in the country.’” [via US Weekly]
Earlier this week, Houston attorney Tony Buzbee announced that over 100 additional sexual assault lawsuits would be filed against Diddy in the coming weeks, including some by minors.
According to federal authorities, Diddy has conducted “decades” of “abusing, threatening, and coercing women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.”
“To do so, Combs relied on the employees, resources, and influence of the multifaceted business empire that he led and controlled, creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice,” authorities said when unsealing Diddy’s federal indictment.
Diddy, who pled not guilty, is facing a minimum of 15 years and a maximum of life in prison if convicted on the federal charges filed against him.
