'Chaos reigns' - the notorious jail holding Sean 'Diddy' Combs

An extensive list of notable names have passed through the doors of the troubled Brooklyn facility

Mr Combs is, according to local media reports, sharing a dormitory-style room there with the cryptocurrency entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried, who once ran a company worth billions but was convicted on multiple counts of fraud in March. After Mr Cordero’s death, US Congressman Dan Goldman, who represents the district where the Brooklyn facility is located, called for more federal oversight to address “chronic understaffing, perpetual solitary confinement and widespread violence". The Federal Bureau of Prisons, which manages the facility, said in a statement that it "takes seriously our duty to protect the individuals entrusted in our custody, as well as maintain the safety of correctional employees and the community".
