NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Living behind bars is proving difficult for Sean “Diddy” Combs, who faces mounting mental health challenges, isolation, and a stream of new allegations while held at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, as per Daily Mail.

Prison consultant and expert Larry Levine, known for helping high-profile inmates navigate the challenges of incarceration, revealed on DailyMail.com's 'The Trial of Diddy' podcast that Combs, 54, is under daily supervision by the prison’s psychology team, who check in on his mental state regularly.

Experts make regular visits to monitor Sean 'Diddy' Combs' psychological state

Larry Levine, founder of Wall Street Prison Consultants, provided insights into Sean "Diddy" Combs' current situation, noting that while he isn't officially on suicide watch, he is being closely monitored.

“He’s not really on suicide watch, but my inside source there tells me they’re coming by to visit with him several times a day, you know, to make sure that he’s okay,” Levine said.

The consultant explained the routine, highlighting the mental toll isolation can take, especially on a man like Combs, whose past life involved luxury, freedom, and a vast social circle.

"He's got somebody from the psychology department coming out to visit with him so it's like a game that they play with the inmates. Remember, he's not playing chess. He's in a cell by himself," Levine said.

While Combs remains alone in his cell, the MDC’s psychology department is paying special attention to the hip-hop mogul’s mental health, visiting him multiple times daily to monitor his emotional and psychological condition.

According to Levine, Combs' mental health is likely in jeopardy, given the abrupt change from a life of privilege to the isolation and stark conditions of federal detention.

While other inmates face similar circumstances, it appears Combs is getting extra privileges to help him adjust.

Levine’s sources suggest that Combs has been granted more showers than the average inmate.

“My sources are telling me that [Combs] is getting extra showers a week,” Levine stated. Although the exact number of showers provided wasn’t specified, the prison consultant believes the frequency likely varies.

Multiple fatalities have marked the prison housing Sean 'Diddy' Combs

The Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, notorious for its challenging conditions, overcrowding, and violence, is currently home to around 1,200 inmates, many of whom struggle with similar confinement-related issues.

The facility, which has also held high-profile inmates such as Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and R&B artist R Kelly, has presented unique challenges for each due to its strict regulations and the notoriety of their cases.

The facility has also seen tragedies, such as the recent death of 36-year-old inmate Edwin Cordero, who passed away in July after a jail fight, highlighting the harsh conditions within MDC.

Adding to his challenges in the jail’s harsh conditions are new allegations that have emerged regarding Combs’ past conduct.

In recent developments, Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee, alongside other attorneys, has filed seven new federal civil lawsuits accusing Combs of sexual abuse and other serious misconduct.

These new suits, covering incidents alleged to have occurred between 2000 and 2022, add to an already complex legal situation.

Among the accusations, several claims involve serious sexual misconduct.

Reports indicate that two anonymous men and three women are involved in the recent cases, with one woman alleging that Combs drugged and assaulted her at a VMA afterparty in 2000 when she was just 13.

Buzbee’s law firm, representing more than 120 alleged victims, has vowed to continue filing suits against the music producer, shedding light on troubling accusations that stretch back over two decades.

Levine explained that Combs’ high-profile status, coupled with the abuse allegations, could expose him to potential dangers within MDC.

“He’s got a lonely existence,” Levine noted. “He’s got a target on his back and you know... it’s the fact he’s got too much on too many people.”

According to Levine, while other inmates may not have direct access to Combs, the nature of the charges could make him vulnerable nonetheless.
