What’s jail like for Diddy in notorious Brooklyn prison? - Diddy on Trial podcast, BBC World Service

What’s life like for Diddy in the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in New York?

He’s awaiting trial for federal charges of sex trafficking, transportation for prostitution and racketeering with conspiracy. Diddy denies them all.

Catana Yehudah served a sentence in the MDC for fraud and federal public defender Andrew Dalack has represented people who have been detained there. They tell Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty about life inside.

The Diddy on Trial podcast is here to investigate the rumours, confront the theories, and give you the answers that you need.

no offence but this music in the background is super annoying, I can't focus on the words.

[johnmckeron]

Woman talking about how bad MDC is ‘ what do you expect prison to be ‘ crime don’t pay good wages’

[maryraymer]

I’m no longer calling him Diddy, I’m calling him HE DID

[aubreyleonae]

Trump will pardon him to put him in charge of the Dept. of Education.

[Sarni]

Here's a tip .... Don't go to prison 🤷

[xrppornstar]

Does anyone here think that people in jail should be eating good in the neighborhood? I mean I hate to break it to you but when you go to jail it supposed to suck. Don’t even start with folks being mistreated. Maybe everyone in the community will think twice about crimes after learning about conditions- did you ever think about that?

[JoeJoe-jxvv]

How long before they take Gay Z and the Stupid 🐝 into custody 😂❤

[Sally-upxe]

This interview is what it's like there for this woman, for regular people. What is it really like for those in the High Profile section. Is Diddy eating garbage food and sleeping on a gross mattress, being treated like cattle, or are he and the others getting fluff-and-puff personal treatment because of their popularity and wealth?

[felipeb]

Diddy is supposed to be treated like a predator not a human. It’s been the rest of his life in prison for what he has done to those poor victims.

TUPAC SAID: “Watch People, one day they’ll stop acting and you’ll see them for who they really are”

[wford]

If he raped underaged girls, we shouldn't have any feeling for him. How about those victims were his close relatives? How would he feel about it?

[karlgrimsson]

You are so reliable bbc. Nobody can take you seriously

[rev.valeriehamann]

Criminals should think of consequences before they commit crimes ...

[velmagardea]

He's right where he's supposed to be....

[KnicksfanshownycwithhostDrKnic]

I was in that jail for 20 months..most of the violence is done by gang members

[soleCHAN]

Oh my lord! What does he expect to be imprisoned? He shouldn't have committed those crimes in the first place.

[jbkxx]

Don’t wanna do the time, DONT DO THE CRIME.

[junecroutze]

That's called prison ... no rights

[patsyercoli]

Who cares if they don’t have heat or electricity?

[EarlMartin-ozxs]

You are in JAIL ma'am!!! So tired of people expecting jail to be comfy.
