Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, a facility known for its harsh and dangerous conditions. Diddy, who faces serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, was arrested recently and has pleaded not guilty.

The MDC has a notorious reputation, having housed other high-profile inmates like Ghislaine Maxwell, Billy McFarland, and R. Kelly. Reports indicate that the prison suffers from chronic understaffing, violence, unsanitary conditions, and a lack of adequate medical care. Inmates have described the environment as “barbaric,” with incidents of stabbings occurring frequently—at least a couple of times a week, according to some sources. One inmate recounted a stabbing incident involving a makeshift knife, highlighting the severity of violence within the facility.

In addition to violence, reports have emerged of deplorable living conditions, including cockroaches in food, broken lights, and mold in the showers. These unsanitary conditions have led to concerns from various parties, including Diddy’s legal team. During a recent court appearance, his attorneys requested that he be released on house arrest, arguing that the conditions at MDC are unfit for pretrial detention. They cited a recent murder in the facility and multiple suicides over the past three years as evidence of its dangerous environment.

Federal Judge Gary Brown has also expressed concerns about the prison’s management. He referenced several violent incidents, stating that they illustrate a “woeful lack of supervision” and an “environment of lawlessness.” This commentary reflects the broader issues within the MDC, which have prompted calls for reform and accountability regarding inmate treatment.
