Fighting to keep Sean "Diddy" Combs out of jail after his sex trafficking arrest, his lawyers highlighted horrific conditions at the Brooklyn federal lockup where he was headed: rampant violence and multiple deaths.
MDC Brooklyn has been plagued by problems since it opened in the 1990s, leading some judges to refuse to send people there due to the stark conditions.
Combs, facing serious allegations of abuse for over a decade, ironically found himself in stark contrast between the federal jail and his expected $1,500-a-night Manhattan hotel.
The facility is mainly for federal detainees awaiting trial and serves as a stark reminder of the complexities surrounding the incarceration and treatment of high-profile inmates.
