"Sean Diddy Combs is locked up in a federal jail that has been plagued by harsh conditions and violence. The Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn has seen multiple deaths in recent years. An inmate was stabbed to death in July and several others have died by suicide."
5. Wide pan of entire MDC complex front
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Sisak, The Associated Press:
"It’s these reasons, among others, that his lawyers are fighting to get him out of there. They want him released on bail rather than being kept in jail while he awaits trial on sex trafficking charges. Combs is just the latest high profile defendant to be locked up at MDC Brooklyn."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Sisak, The Associated Press:
"Before him, there were R. Kelly, Elaine Maxwell and crypto scammer Sam Bankman-Fried. Maxwell complained about her treatment at the facility, which included round-the-clock checks in the wake of her associate Jeffrey Epstein’s jail suicide. A few years ago, a week long power outage in the dead of winter left detainees in drab cold conditions."

"Judges have also raised alarms. They’ve pressed the Bureau of Prisons for status updates and implored the agency to fix things. One judge even refused to send some defendants to the jail."

STORYLINE:
A second judge has refused to grant bail to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. U.S. District Judge Andrew L. Carter said Wednesday that the government had proved “by clear and convincing evidence that there is no condition or set of conditions” that will ensure the safety of community and that he won’t tamper with witnesses.
The hip-hop mogul pleaded not guilty following his Monday arrest on sex trafficking charges, and his lawyer says he’s innocent. Prosecutors say he used his power and prestige for years to sexually abuse women.
His lawyers highlighted a litany of horrors at the Brooklyn federal lockup where he was headed: horrific conditions, rampant violence and multiple deaths.
Combs, 54, was sent to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on Tuesday after pleading not guilty in a case that accuses him of physically and sexually abusing women for more than a decade.
The facility, the only federal jail in New York City, has been plagued by problems since it opened in the 1990s.
In recent years, its conditions are so stark, some judges have refused to send people there.
It has also been home to a number of high-profile inmates, including R. Kelly, Ghislaine Maxwell and Michael Cohen.
