Sean “Diddy” Combs, the hip-hop mogul, is currently experiencing the stringent conditions of federal prison while awaiting trial for his sex trafficking charges.
Despite his immense wealth, Diddy is receiving no special privileges at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, NY.
According to Timothy Smith, a former inmate and “Married at First Sight Australia” alum who previously served time for drug trafficking, even high-profile individuals like Diddy face the same restrictions as any other inmate.
Smith shared his insights in an interview with Daily Mail Australia, emphasizing that money and status have no impact behind bars.
Life inside the Metropolitan Detention Center
Smith explained that MDC’s rules are unforgiving. “The federal prison system is limited; even the rich don’t get extra privileges,” he revealed.
Inmates are only allowed basic items, such as tracksuits and sneakers from the commissary, and stockpiling is forbidden, as frequent raids remove excessive belongings.
He further noted that Diddy likely has limited interaction with other inmates and little to no access to entertainment. “There are no TVs or radios-just a Bible and one book per week,” Smith stated.
Phone time is restricted to 300 minutes per month. “Use up 30 minutes daily, and you’ll have no more minutes left for the rest of the month,” he added.
Legal battle and consequences
Diddy, arrested on September 16 in New York, faces serious charges including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Despite pleading not guilty, he remains held without bail. If convicted, he could face 15 years to life in prison.
His arrest follows a lawsuit filed by ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, accusing him of rape and abuse during their 10-year relationship. Although settled a day later, more accusations have emerged, with over 50 potential victims, including minors, considering legal action.
Despite his fame, Diddy’s wealth and influence have little bearing in the reality of federal detention.
