Before P. Diddy, R Kelly had also stayed in the dormitory. If the rapper is in this unit, it’s not for nothing. “In regular units, we are constantly cutting, stabbing and fighting. So it’s better to avoid all that.”explains Gene Borello. “It’s a pretty boring place.”
Prisoners have more freedoms since they can move freely. “We imagine them in small cells, but in reality, they are in a unit that resembles a dormitory and which is intended for high-ranking personalities. The President of Honduras was present”he explains again.
According to several media, this section is reserved for high-ranking criminals. Currently, Sam Bankman-Fried is Puff Daddy’s neighbor. He is the founder of the cryptocurrency platform FTX which collapsed in the fall of 2022. Recently, he was sentenced to twenty-five years in prison by a New York judge. A case that caused a lot of noise in the USA.
No privacy
On the other hand, there is little or no privacy there. At MDC, as called by inmates, prisoners must sleep in “very small beds at a maximum distance of 30 centimeters from each other”. The beds are made of steel, the mattresses are an inch and a half thick, and there are no pillows. “Showers and toilets only have a thin curtain to provide privacy. The other inmates can hear a lot of things.”
Six new complaints filed against rapper P. Diddy for rape
In “The Sitdown” podcast, Tiffany Fong, an influencer who interviewed Sam Bankman-Fried, gave further details. “There is a gym, board games, card games and ping-pong”she adds. “Inmates have access to tablets that are not connected to the Internet. They can watch movies, play video games and listen to music. Apparently there are books, but they are limited.”
“A place designed to break you”
When it comes to food, Sean Combs obviously has to adapt. No more eating truffle pasta and lobster. “Some days they serve chicken sandwiches. Others are hot dogs or deadly hamburgers made from meat that looks like the sole of a shoe. The best meal of the week is chicken legs.”
She ends the podcast with a sentence that Sam Bankman-Fried said to her. “This place is overall depressing. It is not designed to force you to reform yourself in any way. It is designed to break you.“
As a reminder, Diddy has pleaded not guilty to racketeering and sex trafficking charges and has denied any wrongdoing. Yet a judge rejected a $50 million bail offer made by his lawyers. A new bail application is being assessed by the court.
