Fighting to keep Sean “Diddy” Combs out of jail after his sex trafficking arrest, the music mogul’s lawyers highlighted a litany of horrors at the Brooklyn federal lockup where he was headed: horrific conditions, rampant violence and multiple deaths.
Sean “Diddy” Combs was headed to jail Tuesday to await trial in his federal sex trafficking case, after a magistrate ordered him to be held without bail in a case that accuses him of presiding over a sordid empire of sexual crimes. AP explains.FILE - Media outlets set up cameras outside the main entrance of the Metropolitan Detention Center Tuesday, July 14, 2020, in the Brooklyn borough of New York.
It is a far cry from the $1,500-a-night Manhattan hotel Combs booked in anticipation that he’d be freed on bail, to say nothing of the $48 million Miami Beach mansion that his lawyers sought to put up as collateral for his release.Oklahoma revokes license of teacher who gave class QR code to Brooklyn library in book-ban protestThe federal Bureau of Prisons opened facility, known as MDC Brooklyn, as a federal jail in the early 1990s.
The Bureau of Prisons closed its crumbling Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan in 2021, leaving MDC Brooklyn as its only facility in the nation’s largest city.Detainees have long complained about rampant violence, dreadful conditions, severe staffing shortages and the widespread smuggling of drugs and other contraband, some of it facilitated by employees.
At least six MDC Brooklyn staff members have been charged with crimes in the last five years. Some were accused of accepting bribes or providing contraband such as drugs, cigarettes, and cellphones, according to an Associated Press analysis of agency-related arrests. “Prosecutors no longer even put up a fight, let alone dispute that the state of affairs is unacceptable,” Furman wrote.
Other high-profile detainees have included Pharma Bro Martin Shkreli, NXIVM sex cult founder Keith Raniere, former Mexican government official Genaro Garcia Luna and ex-Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez Alvarado.The jail — next to the federal courthouse where Combs was arraigned — was plagued by lax security, severe staffing shortages andPeople detained at the facility were relocated to MDC Brooklyn or a medium-security federal prison in upstate Otisville, New York.
