‘They take everything’: Diddy’s money will not buy him comfort in prison, explains former inmate

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs who has been charged with sex trafficking and racketeering is currently facing jail time since the allegations were made. He is locked inBrooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre, while his trial is expected to be in October.

Even though Diddy has lived a luxurious life so far, his life behind bars is going to look quite different; away from all the material wealth.

Timothy Smith, who has spent timein the US Federal prison, stated that no matter how important one is, there is no special treatment in jail. According toDaily Mail Australia, he said, “His money and wealth won’t get him any benefits.”

Smith added, “In the federal system, it’s so limited, you don’t get extra privileges because you’re rich. You’re allowed a few basics like a tracksuit and sneakers from the commissary, but that’s about it. They do raids and if you try to stockpile, they take everything.” This comes from Smith’s personal experience with inmates of high social status.

He revealed that the guards in the prison use isolation to break the inmates. He confirmed tothe media outlet, “He’s in the management unit, so no, he doesn’t have access to other inmates.”

According to Smith, Diddy will have very limited communication with the outside world. He added, "You only get 30 minutes a month on the phone, so if you’re on the phone for 30 minutes a day, after 10 days, you get no more phone for the next 20 days. Sometimes you run out of minutes within the first week, and then you’re just talking to yourself.”

Diddy’s case is of high-profile status and if he is convicted, then the mogul will face a lengthy sentence. Smith suggested, “Once feds have indicted you, they’ve made their case. The best advice I could give him? Accept where you are. There’s no negotiating your way out of federal charges.” He added, “If you think you’re going to beat them, they will break you down.”

Diddy’s attorney recently said that Diddy will not accept a plea deal and go on to prove his innocence. Although Smith’s is the contrary of what Diddy’s attorney has decided. He said, “In my experience, three guys took their cases to trial, thinking they could win, and they ended up with sentences far worse than they would have received if they had accepted a plea deal.”
