Sean “Diddy” Combs and Luigi Mangione spent Christmas Day inside the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC), where cornish hen and green beans were reportedly on the menu. Mangioni, who’d complained of serious back pain prior to his arrest for allegedly gunning down insurance CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown earlier this month, awoke on a 1-2 inch thick mattress Wednesday, according to People. A prison consultant familiar with MDC said whether the 26-year-old Ivy League graduate spent the holiday in isolation or with other inmates depends on which section he’s calling home.

(Theodore Parisienne for New York Daily News) Other inmates in the MDC include Combs, who has been incarcerated since September on charges including conspiracy and sex trafficking. Lawyers for the 55-year-old “I Need a Girl” rapper have argued that being kept in the notoriously uncomfortable detention facility makes it hard for their client to participate in his criminal defense. They asked in September for Combs to be transferred from the MDC special housing unit where he’s detained to a facility in New Jersey. Units that house high-profile inmates allow one-hour visits from family members on Christmas Day, according to People. The prison consultant they spoke to said defendants are “allowed to hug” visitors, but must sit facing them rather than next to them. MDC has housed numerous high-profile inmates including sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who died there in 2019. An investigation found the 66-year-old financier, who counted two U.S. presidents among his associates, died by suicide following a “combination of negligence, misconduct and outright job performance failures” by detention center workers. Singer R. Kelly and cryptocurrency fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried have also spent time at the infamous Brooklyn federal facility.
