Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has been placed on suicide watch as he awaits trial on three felony counts related to more than a decade of alleged abuse. The music mogul is currently in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where a judge denied his bail appeal on Wednesday. The 54-year-old faces a three-count felony indictment, including charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, with allegations dating back to 2008. He has pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s more on Diddy\u2019s current status and the detention center where he is being held as he awaits trial.<\/p>\n Combs has been in federal custody in New York City since Monday night, with guards at the Metropolitan Detention Center closely monitoring him, multiple sources confirmed to PEOPLE<\/a>. One source described the suicide watch as \u201cprocedural for high-profile clients.\u201d The facility has previously held public figures such as R. Kelly<\/strong><\/a>, Ghislaine Maxwell<\/strong><\/a>, and Sam Bankman-Fried<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Representing the singer, Marc Agnifilo<\/strong> and Teny R. Geragos<\/strong> wrote in a bail proposal rejected by two Manhattan judges earlier this week that the Brooklyn facility is \u201cnot fit for pre-trial detention,\u201d describing the conditions as \u201chorrific.\u201d<\/p>\n Cameron Lindsay<\/strong>, a retired warden of MDC Brooklyn and an expert witness in corrections, noted, \u201cHis celebrity status and the allegations of violence against women make him a very attractive target for assault.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIn the subculture of jails and prisons, delivering a hit on someone like him would be considered a badge of honor,\u201d Lindsay added.<\/p>\n MDC Brooklyn is a federal detention facility located in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, housing both male and female inmates. According to CNN<\/a>, Combs is being held alone in the Special Housing Unit at MDC Brooklyn, which is separate from the general inmate population and designated for inmates needing protection.<\/p>\n Lindsay described the facility as \u201caustere\u201d and \u201ccold,\u201d explaining that Diddy would not have access to the internet, and any outdoor recreational time would be spent in an enclosed area.<\/p>\n In a phone interview, R. Kelly\u2019s lawyer, Nicole Blank Becker<\/strong>, described Kelly\u2019s time at the Brooklyn facility as \u201cmentally crippling\u201d and \u201cone of the worst experiences I have ever heard of.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf Diddy is going to experience anything like what R. Kelly went through, it\u2019s not going to be good,\u201d Blank Becker said, expressing her belief that the jail is \u201cnot at all\u201d safe. \u201cDaily, we were concerned about whether R. Kelly was alive, frankly,\u201d she added. \u201cIt is inhumane\u2014a whole other world. I mean, grown men cry.\u201d<\/p>\n Diddy is being held at MDC Brooklyn after being denied bail. During his court appearance to offer a $50 million bond, a judge ruled that he must remain in custody as his case proceeds.<\/p>\n Agnifilo stated that they plan to appeal the judge\u2019s ruling. Speaking to reporters, the attorney emphasized that his client came to New York \u201cto turn himself in\u201d to comply with the law. \u201cWhy doesn\u2019t the government want him to turn himself in? Because then they can\u2019t ask for detention,\u201d Agnifilo claimed. \u201cAll we can do is show good faith. He got on a plane and came here. They arrested a guy who came here to turn himself in.\u201d<\/p>\n According to NBC News, Combs is accused of orchestrating a \u201ccriminal enterprise\u201d through his business that perpetuated \u201csex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.\u201d Additionally, he is alleged to have threatened and coerced \u201cwomen and those around him to fulfill his sexual desires\u201d by participating in \u201cFreak Offs,\u201d<\/a> which involved recorded forced sexual acts. Federal agents claimed they seized more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and other lubricants from Combs\u2019 homes, which were used in these acts.<\/p>\n If you or anyone you know has been sexually abused, call the\u00a0<\/i>National Sexual Assault\u00a0Hotline<\/i><\/a>\u00a0at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).
