More Details About MDC Brooklyn
Per TMZ, MDC is “notorious for its brutal, sometimes fatal, conditions.” In June, a 37-year-old inmate named Uriel Whyte was reportedly stabbed to death on the premises, per Spectrum News NY1. Whyte was reportedly awaiting trial for murder.
“The COs [correction officers] is the one that brings in the phones, the drugs, you know, the razors, the scalpels and stuff like that,” one detainee named Robert told the outlet at the time. “Some of the COs in here are gang members.”
Another inmate expanded on the alleged weapons and violence inside the facility.
“One guy was stabbed in the eye with a makeshift knife,” a detainee named Eli explained. “And these knives… are six, nine inches long sometimes, you know, homemade with materials from the steel walls. It’s very violent. There’s stabbings, there’s stabbings at least a couple times a week.”
Per The Independent, at least four inmates have reportedly committed suicide at the facility in the last three years. Furthermore, Spectrum News NY1 adds that footage of the inside of the Metropolitan Detention Center “show cockroaches on the food, broken light fixtures and mold in the shower.”

The following day, it was revealed that the 54-year-old was charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, per The Shade Room. Additionally, footage surfaced of the music mogul minutes before he was placed in handcuffs.
On Tuesday, a 14-page federal indictment against Diddy was released to the public, per The Shade Room.

On Tuesday, Diddy also appeared in a Manhattan court and pled not guilty to his charges. Additionally, his defense lawyers advocated for the 54-year-old to be released on a $50 million bond. However, the prosecution cited Diddy’s alleged coercion of witnesses and potential flight risk as a means to keep him in custody, per The Shade Room.
The judge ultimately remanded Diddy to custody, prompting the mogul’s lawyer to share his plans to appeal the decision.
According to The Independent, Diddy is expected to appear in court today at 3:30 p.m. for the appeal request. If it is denied, the 54-year-old will reportedly return to MDC, where he will likely “remain… until trial.”
