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.
