Inside the Hellhole NYC Prison That Will House Diddy Until His Sex Trafficking Trial
Sean “Diddy” Combs was remanded back into federal custody on Tuesday afternoon after a judge denied him bail as his sex abuse case proceeds to trial.
The hip-hop tycoon has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution, and will be will be housed in pretrial detention at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
The MDC holds around 1,600 inmates, all but a few dozen awaiting trial. It has been New York City’s primary federal detention center since 2021, when the Bureau of Prisons shuttered Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center—where Jeffrey Epstein died—over the appalling conditions inside.
