I’m a criminal defense lawyer who practices in federal court in nyc. I’m very familiar with MDC Brooklyn. Not to be all aCkShuaLlY, but some of the info you received isn’t correct.

“They could place him in the same unit as R. Kelly and other high-profile inmates, but even Epstein wasn’t housed there.”

Epstein was housed in a different jail: the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in lower Manhattan, which has since been closed.

“Instead, they’ve put him in the SHU (Special Housing Unit), also known as the hole—a punishment for prisoners who get into fights.”

SHU is used both for punishment and for protective custody. Diddy is in the latter. The experience is basically the same though. One thing not mentioned is that the SHU is freezing cold all year long.

“All his calls are being monitored on orders from the prosecutors.”

This is standard operating procedure for all detainees, and is not an order by prosecutors but a policy of the Bureau of Prisons.

Good. As a survivor of sex trafficking he gets NO pity from me.

Diddy has not been to trial yet. I don’t know much about him (just the news reports) but he should have a safe environment to stay in until trial and if found guilty then this is where he belongs. If he is found guilty of the horrible things he is being accused of then his life should be the cost. However. I don’t believe most of what the media says. I need to see proof.

I agree whole heartedly with your response. The guards in prison should not be able to get away with treating inmates so inhumane. Let justice run its course. It truly is a sad statement to our system.

Robyn Miller's avatar

I agree with you. Although it’s probably safe to say he’s guilty of everything he’s accused of and probably so much more. But I’m not at all in favor of prison guards getting away with taunting prisoners or tampering with their food or doing anything other than guarding them. The court system will handle the rest.

He’s in jail. Jails aren’t really known to be “safe”, there are mostly “bad” & unsafe people in there. Quick lesson about jail. People are usually in jail for one of two reasons: awaiting trial or their sentence is less than one year. If a person is sentenced to more than one year they generally go to prison (with some exceptions like time served, awaiting trial somewhere else, and sometimes a few other random reasons occur). Jails have intake holding cells but those shouldn’t be used for more than a couple days, until the initial hearing in front of a judge occurs. Then the inmate goes into general population if they aren’t released on bail, as they await ongoing hearings or trial. And it’s not completely unusual, and sometimes depending on the particular jail, for a high profile inmate to go to the SHU (special housing unit) for protection, but it also usually comes with extreme harassment. Last bit of info-a good percentage of guards/CO’s (correctional officers) pursue the line of work because of the power it holds and they can use to be a bully or abuser. Nothing is perfect, especially jail.

the problem with this, is that these things have been going on for YEARS. this man has dirt on police, judges, politicians, prisons employees and connections thru celebrities that will pay anything to keep everything quiet and running smooth. there will be no fair trial in this, everyone will get paid and hushes, and he'll move off to Bali forever. Like Russell did.

You don't even have to read anything in the media. Watch the video of him beating up Cassie (her lawsuit was settled settled the day after she brought it cuz he was GUILTY) That man is a trafficker and abuser and as someone who was also trafficked and forced to do things against my will, I take this case very personally.

Your last part, “Will it even matter” is spot on. We need the people above Diddy (not just Naomi Campbell) - we need Lucien, Oprah, ex-presidents, Congressman, other leaders across the world….but we won’t get that. We will get Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Ashton, etc and think that this whole blackmail, pedophile thing has been solved. They are guilty but also being scapegoated. Who are the super-villains in this?!?

Susan Stephens's avatar

Exactly! The LIST! Like the Epstein list we never got nor will. Diddy won’t make it to trial.

These “gatherings” have been happening for YEARS with different “hosts” & rotating participants. Pizzagate was poo-pooed away.

A lady who survived such torture speaks out about her childhood spent under the MK-Ultra program. That she’s sane is a miracle of God. There’s also a man whose affidavit is public; he witnessed unspeakable horrors (named names).

A friend asked me yesterday…. WHY aren’t these people (& others like them) ALL OVER THE NEWS NETWORKS? Good question!

My take: too many in power are compromised by this stuff.

Maybe someone went to a “party” not knowing it was what is was & SAW such debauchery & promptly departed. But simply their attendance is held over their heads to keep them in line.

The 2 people I mention above; some believe (as I do) but others write them off.

Why presume their guilt? Combs deserves the presumption of innocence, as does everyone. What is Ashton even accused of?

They - who ever that is- is probably putting him in these conditions on purpose to make sure he talks? Not saying it’s right. Just speculation. Or it could be that they know somehow he’ll get out of this and they want to see him suffer before he does get out . Or maybe it s a reminder of who really controls him?

Diddy is being accused of raping children. - I don’t say ‘minors’ because , CHILDREN should be the thing you see in your head when you read that. Criminals in prisons do special things to pedophiles in prison- or at least that’s the word on the street. For that kind of evil , I don’t think prison is a good enough justice. Torture and death to anyone who comes for my child or any CHILD !!!!

Call it karma or whatever you want but his bad boy behavior has finally caught up with him after all these years. I don't feel badly for him. We have all seen the footage of him brutally assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie. I have also seen the video of him with Justin Bieber which was disgusting. Justin is now leaking unseen footage which confirms the allegations. I also find the death of his ex and mother of his children, suspicious. She was 47 and supposedly died of pneumonia. I'm sure there is much more to come. I do hope he lives to stand trial. There are a lot of people who don't want that to happen though. Thanks for the update Jessica. sabrinalabow.substack.com

So disgusting that so many wealthy and powerful people get away with this abuse

Unfortunately, I think they get away with it because this repulsive behavior is deeply entrenched among the upper classes.

Will we ever see Epstein client list?

Lindsey's avatar

Where have you seen the footage Justin is leaking?

Sabrina LaBow's avatar

Type it into Google. I think YouTube

SarahJShark's avatar

Have we heard from/know where Nick (epstein’s cell mate) is yet? That story haunts me.

Country Girl's avatar

I don't agree with him being taunted nor abused. I came here to say why now? He's notorious for having these parties and abusing people so why do the feds decide to get him now after all these years?!?! And, can we trust the feds not to destroy the evidence that would identify other celebs and politicians involved?

Robyn Miller's avatar

To answer why now? I have a couple ideas: Maybe as a way for this administration to make itself look like it’s actually doing anything about anything? Or maybe as a distraction from their disastrous candidate Kamala? Who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

Age of Aquarius… everything is being exposed.

Sloan Bella says karma is all about balance & that has always stuck with me. He was energetically sucking everyone’s energy & now the guards are doing it to him. He is now the sacrifice.

The human in me feels bad for him, but did he bring it upon himself? 🥴

Lauren's avatar

I totally agree. Antrophite has some bang on readings of him and he says Diddy does not care at all and knew he’d eventually go down and is the darkest energy he’s ever read. I have a hard time feeling bad for someone that evil. You can see it in his eyes. Probably why he’s always wearing sunglasses.

Yosef Hirsh's avatar

Please let him survive to his trial....

Robyn Miller's avatar

Let me guess… the cameras in his cell don’t work.

Ok Bob's avatar

Seems strange - he hasn’t been convicted yet. Where are these guards from? Thugs.com - just an odd story honestly - are you sure it’s credible and they aren’t just trying to get him moved or something.

Even David in the psalms prayed his enemies would be mowed down like the grass and wither as the green herb. I can’t get over what has happened to the kids and to Cassie and many others. No rest for the wicked

Dutch's avatar

I just went through a major storm. Many people suffered damage and losses. Diddy is the last ting on my mind, if at all. Sometimes justice gets it right. If not, the "end" will have you explaining why you've been a jackass. Semper Fi.

Carmen M Claypool's avatar

Can’t hit like because it’s horrific. Even if he brought it on himself.

Audrey's avatar

Nothing is what it appears. Too much corruption in the prison systems, judges, law enforcement, lawyers, Hollywood, politicians. Read, The Franklin Cover-Up and one will get a clear full view of how the corruption works. I feel sorry for the rats sharing their cell with Diddy!
