As a judge deliberates whether to release Sean “Diddy” Combs (pic) on bond this week, the Thanksgiving Day meal at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center has been revealed.
The Grammy-winning hip-hop mogul has been incarcerated at the federal detention center since his arrest on Sept 16 for charges including racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty.
People obtained the menu for Thanksgiving this year at MDC, and it’s a far cry from the tasty morsels he once served up at Justin’s, the Flatiron soul food restaurant he launched in the late 1990s.
Breakfast in jail starts before sunrise at 6 a.m. and will consist of fruit, cereal and pastries.
Lunch, which begins at 11 am, will have a more traditional holiday fare including turkey roast or hot & sour tofu with sides like mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, cranberry sauce, turkey gravy and dinner rolls. A variety of pies will also be served for dessert.
After the 4 pm headcount, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, potato chips, whole wheat bread and fruit reportedly will be offered for dinnertime, the outlet reported Monday.
The Industry City-area facility, which has also been home to a number of high-profile inmates, including R. Kelly, Ghislaine Maxwell, Sam Bankman-Fried and most recently rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine.
Combs’ most recent bail hearing took place Friday in Manhattan federal court with Judge Arun Subramanian expected to decide this week if bail will be granted.
The I’ll Be Missing You star offered to put up US$50mil and submit to 24/7 monitoring by a private security firm under home detention at an Upper East Side apartment without access to phones or internet.
But Assistant US Attorney Christy Slavik said his actions while in custody had demonstrated he could not abide by “any conditions” of release.
Three judges have previously declined to let the 55-year-old out since his arrest. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
