The Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn has a notorious history of poor conditions and systemic issues. Over the years, it has faced numerous scandals, particularly involving staffing shortages, violence, and substandard living conditions. Inmates have reported being locked down for over 22 hours a day, with little access to showers, phone calls, or exercise. The facility often experiences long-term lockdowns due to violent incidents, such as a murder in June 2024. The chronic understaffing exacerbates these problems, with correctional officers frequently overworked and unable to adequately manage the facility.

Judges have become increasingly critical of the conditions at MDC. In recent rulings, federal judges have even refused to send defendants to the facility, citing "barbaric" conditions that border on cruel and unusual punishment. One judge described the jail as being in a state of "near-perpetual lockdown" due to staffing shortages and widespread contraband, including drugs and weapons.

Despite promises from the Bureau of Prisons to address these issues, improvements have been minimal, and MDC remains a symbol of the challenges facing federal detention centers,

This is the place that Diddy will now call home for the forseeable future.
