"Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine is joining Venezuela's president and the man charged with gunning down United Healthcare's CEO in a notorious federal lockup in New York City. The embattled 29-year-old artist, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, reported to the Metropolitan Detention Center in his native Brooklyn on Tuesday to serve out his latest stint behind bars. He drove up to the gates of the jail in a luxury van with internet personality Adin Ross and a camera crew streaming live as he turned himself in."
"The facility is the only federal jail in New York City but is so troubled that some judges have refused to send people there and others have described it as " hell on earth " for its poor conditions and constant violence. It currently houses Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, as well as Luigi Mangione, who is accused of killing Brian Thompson, the leader of the country's biggest health insurer."
