After a sex-trafficking indictment, the superwealthy rapper and music mogul has been forced to leave behind his grand Los Angeles and Miami mansions for the confines of a notorious Brooklyn, New York, jail.
Federal Bureau of Prisons records show that Combs, 54, was sent to the infamous Metropolitan Detention Center — which has housed other high-profile figures, including R. Kelly, Sam Bankman-Fried, and Ghislaine Maxwell — after a judge turned down his first request to post a $50 million bond.
A former warden at the facility told Business Insider that Combs could expect to be treated like any of the other 1,200 inmates at the Brooklyn jail.
“Any time one is being detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center, it’s never going to be a picnic,” Cameron Lindsay, the retired warden, told BI.
The jail “is hell on earth for anyone unfortunate enough to live there,” Mark Bederow, a criminal-defense attorney and former Manhattan prosecutor, told BI.
“To go from living in mansions in Beverly Hills and Miami to the MDC is as epic a change in circumstances as one can have,” Bederow said, adding: “All that money won’t make it warmer when it’s cold, colder when it’s hot. It won’t make the food more edible. It won’t make the cockroaches stay away.”
During a Manhattan federal court hearing Tuesday, US Magistrate Judge Robyn Tarnofsky ordered Combs to be sent to jail ahead of his criminal trial. Prosecutors argued in court that Combs could try to flee the country or attempt to meddle in the sex-trafficking investigation.
At the hearing, Combs pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and illegal transportation for prostitution.
Combs’ attorneys filed an appeal to the judge’s decision in an attempt to get their entrepreneur client out of lockup, but it failed.
At a court hearing Wednesday, US District Judge Andrew Carter, who will oversee the not-yet-scheduled trial, denied Comb’s appeal and ordered that he remain in jail until his trial.
