Diddy placed on routine suicide watch in New York jail, according to a source.

High-profile individuals typically undergo routine screening when admitted to federal facilities, which does not necessarily reflect their mental state.

On Friday, a spokesperson for Diddy stated that Mr. Combs is in good health and is fully focused on his defense. He is confident in both his legal team and the truth, and is committed to fighting this case.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) declined to provide information about Diddy's conditions of confinement and internal security practices at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, citing privacy, safety, and security reasons.

Several high-profile inmates, including R. Kelly and Ghislaine Maxwell, have resided at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center.

In 2022, Kelly was placed on suicide watch at the federal detention facility due to being convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking.

At the time, Jennifer Bonjean, his attorney, informed Planet Chronicle Digital that he was put on suicide watch against his rights under the Eighth Amendment.

Kelly was removed from suicide watch at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn following her 30-year prison sentence and $100,000 fine on June 29, 2022.

In June 2022, Maxwell, who was convicted of aiding Jeffrey Epstein in sexually abusing girls, was placed on suicide watch just before her sentencing hearing, despite not being suicidal, her attorneys announced.

The attorneys, who had previously protested Maxwell's imprisonment, argued that their client was not suicidal.

At the facility, I met with Ms. Maxwell after a 97-minute delay following my arrival. She is not suicidal, attorney Bobbi C. Sternheim wrote.

The MDC Brooklyn facility, which was opened by the Bureau of Prisons in the early 1990s, serves as a jail primarily for individuals awaiting trial in federal courts in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Additionally, it houses inmates who have been convicted and are serving short sentences.

On the Brooklyn waterfront, in an industrial area, there are approximately 1,200 detainees held in a facility.
