Diddy is ‘sad and lonely’ in prison where he’s visited by psych team every day
Life in prison isn’t going well for disgraced Bad Bad mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, prison expert Larry Levine said.
Levine, president and founder of Wall Street Prison Consultants, appeared on DailyMail.com’s popular podcast, The Trial of Diddy, where he revealed that Combs receives daily visits from a psychological team that monitors his mental health.
“He’s not actually on suicide watch, but my inside source there tells me that people are coming by several times a day to visit him, you know, just to make sure he’s okay,” Levine said.

He added: ‘Someone from the psychology department comes to visit him, so it’s like a game they play with the prisoners. Remember, he doesn’t play chess. He’s alone in a cell.’
Combs, 54, has been locked up in Brooklyn’s infamous Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) since he was arrested on September 16 on federal charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation for the purpose of prostitution.
Levine, whose company prepares defendants for life in prison and helps them navigate rehabilitation and other prison programs, claims Combs is already receiving preferential treatment in the Brooklyn jail.
‘My sources tell me that [Combs] gets extra showers per week,” Levine said. ‘I don’t know how much. It probably varies. They give them extra privileges.’
MDC, known for its horrific conditions and violent incidents, currently houses approximately 1,200 inmates.
Other notorious criminals, including Jeffrey Epstein, his “madam” and associate Ghislaine Maxwell and R&B singer R. Kelly, have been held at the Brooklyn facility.
Numerous deaths have occurred at MDC, prompting several civil lawsuits against the prison for wrongful deaths.
One of these was the death of 36-year-old inmate Edwin Cordero, who died in July after being injured during a fight in the prison.
Cordero’s attorney, Andrew Dalack, called the prison “an overcrowded, understaffed and neglected federal prison that is hell on earth.” ‘

Crypto magnate Sam Bankman-Fried, who was convicted of fraud, is also in prison complained about the prison food.
Bankman-Fried, a vegan, lives on a diet of peanut butter, bread and water, his lawyers said.
Combs had similar complaints.
“I think the food is probably the toughest part,” one of Combs’ attorneys, Marc Agnifilo, said after a hearing earlier this month.
Levine, who himself spent 10 years in federal prison for fraud and racketeering, said someone like Combs, who is accustomed to a lavish lifestyle, won’t be alone in being affected by the physical restraints in his cell.

He said allegations that Combs allegedly sexually abused minors also make him a prime target among fellow inmates.
This week, Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee and other attorneys filed seven new federal civil lawsuits alleging that Combs sexually assaulted or raped the plaintiffs in separate incidents between 2000 and 2022.
Two of the anonymous accusers are men and three are women, including one who alleged that Combs drugged and raped her when she was 13 years old at a VMA after-party in 2000.
The Busby law firm represents about 120 alleged victims who the company announced earlier this month would be filing a lawsuit against the Bad Boy producer.
Meanwhile, Combs’ attorneys are still trying to get him out of jail and have filed an appeal with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court after two judges denied his bail. The case will be discussed during the hearing on November 4.
“He lives a lonely existence,” Levine said of Combs. “He’s got a target on his back and you know… the fact is he’s got too many people.
“Someone will have to get him out and it won’t be the prisoners because they can’t reach him.”
