Things are about to get very different for the rap mogul Diddy while he is in jail waiting for his trial. He may have lived in style for the last few decades.Following his arrest on September 17, Puffy (real name Sean Combs) was taken to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, where he has been held since. He was charged with racketeering plot, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He will stay there until the trial starts because he is a “danger” to the community and has been rejected bail twice already.
The Associated Press says that since it opened in the 1990s, the federal jail has been called “hell on earth” and a “ongoing tragedy of terrible proportions.”Diddy’s lawyers tried to get their client release, but were denied. They said that the conditions at MDC Brooklyn were “horrific,” pointing out that an inmate had been killed this summer and that four other inmates had killed themselves in the last three years.
They also said that judges in other New York cases had been worried about “food contamination” and “hazardous physical conditions.” They also said that the jail was “infested with drugs” and “plagued by violence.”The prison has also kept famous prisoners like R. Kelly, Fetty Wap, and Ghislaine Maxwell, who was found guilty of sex trafficking and working with Jeffrey Epstein.
Diddy is allegedly being held in the Special Housing Unit because of his fame and the nature of his alleged crimes, but he will still be living in a simple way while he is in jail.TMZ says that the boss of Bad Boy is only given three showers a week and an hour of free time every day. He also gets three meals a day that he has to eat by himself.
Family and friends will be able to visit from time to time, but the visits might not last as long as Diddy would like because it takes longer to get to SHU inmates than to general prison inmates, and extra time isn’t set aside for these visits.
Record executive is facing charges, but a hearing date has not been set yet. He is due back in court on October 9.
After his failed bail hearing, his lawyer Marc Agnifilo told reporters that he planned to “get his case to trial as quickly as possible” and that his client was set on fighting the charges.
