00:00Judge rejects bail plea despite Diddy's lawyer warning that prison conditions are inhumane.

00:05Judge denies bail despite claims of inhumane conditions at Brooklyn Jail.

00:10Diddy's lawyer cites maggot-infested meals.

00:13Cult refuses release.

00:15On August 3, 2025, Diddy's lawyer, Mark Agnifilo, once again pleaded with Judge Aaron Subramanian

00:22to release Diddy on bail ahead of his October 3, 2025, sentencing.

00:28No bail before sentencing.

00:30MDC conditions called notorious and unlivable.

00:33The request was made on the basis of what the lawyer described as inhumane living conditions

00:38inside Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, MDC, where Diddy has been held since September

00:452024.

00:47In his letter to the judge, Agnifilo painted a grim picture of daily life in the jail.

00:52According to him, the facility routinely serves expired meals, sometimes infested with maggots.

00:58Defense warns of expired insect-ridden food.

01:01Judge keeps Diddy behind bars.

01:04One image reportedly showed rotten food crawling with insects, a scene his lawyer claimed was

01:09not uncommon at the notorious federal detention center.

01:13Attorney Mark Agnifilo claims Diddy has been served, expired, and maggot-crawling food while

01:19awaiting sentencing.

01:20Living conditions at the MDC remain inhumane, and the conditions seem unlikely to improve

01:27due to aggressive government budget cuts, Agnifilo wrote in his letter.

01:30He emphasized that spoiled food was not a rare mishap, but a routine part of the meal service.

01:37The claim is backed by other reports over the years.

01:40Inmates have long complained that the food at MDC is often past its expiration date, and

01:46lawyers representing detainees have echoed those same concerns.

01:50For Diddy, whose life before prison was defined by private chefs and carefully curated meals,

01:54the shock of having to face plates of inedible food has been devastating.

02:00Diddy reportedly breaks down in tears.

02:03After receiving rotten meat and maggot-infested fruit at MDC, according to insiders, Diddy has

02:09broken down in frustration when served food he described as unfit for human consumption.

02:15Maggot-infested apples, spoiled meat, and mushy bread are said to be staples of the menu.

02:20His lawyer later told the New York Post that the food was probably the roughest part of

02:25it for the rapper.

02:27The emotional toll has been immense.

02:30To go from enjoying fine dining at his Los Angeles mansion to weeping over inedible meals

02:35in a prison cafeteria has become a symbol of how much his world has changed.

02:40MDC menus promise comfort foods.

02:44Like meatballs and Alfredo.

02:46But Diddy says meals arrive moldy and inedible.

02:48On paper, the Federal Bureau of Prisons offers meals that sound fairly normal.

02:54Swedish meatballs, scrambled eggs, chicken Alfredo, hot dogs, meatloaf, and breaded fish sandwiches.

03:02But behind bars, the reality is far less appetizing.

03:06Former inmates and lawyers say that what's actually served often arrives cold, expired, or crawling

03:12with insects.

03:13For Diddy, that gap between the menu on paper and the plate in front of him has been a breaking

03:18point.

03:19One insider said that at times he simply refuses to eat, surviving instead on commissary

03:25snacks to avoid risking food that makes him sick.

03:28Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center has a long history of freezing cells, power outages,

03:33and now maggot-filled meals.

03:36Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center has been the subject of controversy for decades.

03:41Known for frequent power outages, insufficient staffing, and overcrowding.

03:46The jail has been criticized in congressional hearings and media reports alike.

03:51Inmates have complained of freezing cells in winter, unbearable heat in summer, and food

03:56so spoiled it borders on dangerous.

03:58CNN has described the facility as infamous for its poor conditions, while the New York

04:05Daily News has reported on multiple complaints of maggots in meals going back years.

04:11Diddy's story is not unique, but as one of the world's most recognizable music moguls,

04:17his plight shines a brighter spotlight on what detainees have been living with for years.

04:22Diddy joins list of celebrity inmates complaining of rotten food after Ghislaine Maxwell found maggots

04:27an apple. Diddy is not the first celebrity to call out the jail's food. Ghislaine Maxwell,

04:33who was also held at MDC, told the Daily Mail in 2021 that she was fed rotten meals and once bit

04:40into an apple filled with maggots. She described the food as inedible and said she had not had a

04:46nutritious meal during her entire stay. These accounts, combined with Diddy's lawyer's recent

04:51letter, suggest the problem is systemic, not occasional. For a facility meant to house hundreds

04:58of detainees, the quality of meals continues to be one of the most complained-about aspects

05:03of daily life.
