What Life Is Like for Sean Combs, Inmate 37452-054

The music mogul has been in the Metropolitan Detention Center for nearly seven months.

Good morning. It’s Tuesday. Today we’ll find out about the latest court appearance by the music mogul Sean Combs, who is known as Puff Daddy and Diddy — and about conditions in the jail unit where he has lived for seven months. We’ll also get details on why a relatively small number of restaurants have applied for permits for outdoor dining structures under new city regulations.


On Monday, Sean Combs, the music mogul known as Puff Daddy or Diddy, was in court — again.

He pleaded not guilty — again.

Then he was taken back to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he is Inmate 37452-054.

He has been a resident there despite his lawyers’ arguments that he should be free until his trial begins. Several hearings were devoted to arguments over whether he was too much of a threat to the community and too likely to orchestrate witness tampering to be released on bail. Three judges decided that he was, so Combs has remained at the long-troubled jail.

The hearing on Monday, in Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York, was the latest since his arrest on racketeering and sex trafficking charges last year. The government had filed a document called a superseding indictment, which added a second major sex-trafficking charge to the allegations.

Combs, wearing a tan prison shirt and slacks, walked into court smiling. His once-jet-black hair was whitish gray. So was his beard.

Judge Arun Subramanian asked if Combs had seen the latest version of the indictment and understood the charges. Combs said he had and, as before, pleaded not guilty. It was the same plea he had entered at his arraignment after the original indictment last year.


Combs’s lawyers and the prosecutors sparred over whether there were emails from a woman identified only as Victim 4 that should be turned over to the defense and whether additional time was needed to go through them. When Combs’s lawyers indicated that they might ask for a two-week adjournment, Subramanian gave them 48 hours to submit a request, saying, “We are a freight train moving towards trial.” Jury selection is scheduled to begin on April 28.

The government has described Combs in court papers as the boss of a violent criminal conspiracy that committed kidnapping, arson and drug crimes while enabling Combs’s sexual abuse of women.

Combs’s lawyers have countered that the charges actually center on consensual sex with long-term girlfriends. The defense has acknowledged that Combs has had “complicated relationships” with significant others, as well as with alcohol and drugs, but has argued that those troubles do not “make him a racketeer, or a sex trafficker.”

For Combs, jailhouse life is different from the enormous mansions with personal chefs that he once enjoyed. My colleague Julia Jacobs writes that he has been staying in an area of the jail known as 4 North, a fourth-floor dormitory-style unit where roughly 20 men are housed. It has often held high-profile inmates. Sam Bankman-Fried, the cryptocurrency entrepreneur who is appealing his fraud conviction, was a neighbor on 4 North until recently. Luigi Mangione, who shares a lawyer with Combs, is awaiting trial from the same jail, but is not being held in 4 North.

The conditions there are not as restrictive as in a separate unit where inmates typically spend 23 hours a day in their cells. Detainees on 4 North are generally free to move around the unit. It has televisions, a microwave and a room where inmates have in the past worked out on mats with exercise balls, said Gene Borrello, a former inmate who said he was placed on 4 North because he had helped the government convict of the Mafia.

Detainees in 4 North do not have access to the internet, but they could watch movies and listen to music on tablets purchased in the commissary, he said.

Combs meets with of his legal team frequently, sometimes in a conference room off the common area of 4 North. He was provided a laptop without Wi-Fi — at his lawyers’ urging — to work through the mountain of evidence that prosecutors have turned over before trial. He can use the laptop between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. each day in the unit’s visiting room or in a room reserved for inmates to take video calls.

Telephone calls are limited to 15 minutes each. But prosecutors have said that Combs bought the use of other inmates’ phone privileges. On some of those calls, the government said, Combs strategized ing public statements to affect the potential jury pool’s perception of him. They also said he had tried to potential witnesses through three-way calling, which allows him to reach people outside his approved list. The defense says Combs’s communications have not been illicit.

Prosecutors have also said that Combs orchestrated a video, later posted to his Instagram , that showed his seven children wishing him a happy birthday, with Combs on speakerphone. After it was posted, prosecutors said, Combs — long known for his attention to marketing — monitored the analytics from jail.

Women has brought about the fall of men, even great men from time immemorial.

Meanwhile, Liberty and freedom is priceless. You wont understand until you are locked up in a cell for just 24 hours!

The guy looks severely weakened.

Once you become rich and famous, try by all means possible to stay far away from anything woman except your mom and maybe sisters....

That moment in life when your world come crashing right before your eyes and you are just too powerless to savage the situation....

Prison is one of the best rehabilitation centre.

If I'm in the U.S or any white country if I feel that life is becoming unbearable I'll intentionally commit a crime that I will be sentenced to 1yr so that I'll use that one year and build my life, physique, mind, soul e.t.c solidly. There's no way that I can spend that 1 year of loneliness entirely on myself barring any distractions, phones, internet, women, noise, problems, atimes sleepless nights, family or friends communications e.t.c without being the best version of myself. Most times everything is not money.

He has always been aging. Difference is that when he was a free man he has access to shampoo, dye and other hair products to cover it up and appear younger.
Now in jail, no access to anything cosmetics except for soap and paste hence he's carrying his natural hair around. Same with R Kelly.

Sean Kingston is ing them soon grin

Which Kan "Aging gracefully".
Person that uses Black Hair Dye to polish his hair every week of the day with body maintenance Lotions.
Now reality of life has now dawn on him cos nowhere to appear in public; Dress clean and Look good. Only then he realizes all is vanity upon vanity.
Nothing lasts forever.

I was really disappointed when I saw a footage of how Diddy bullied Cassie, my crush that year. When people become rich and famous, they lose regards for less fortunate people.
