What Food Sean 'Diddy' Combs Is Being Served While in Federal Prison

Sean "Diddy" Combs is in federal prison on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. 

The disgraced music mogul is at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center while he awaits trial. On Sept. 20, his day behind bars started at 6:00 a.m. with a breakfast of cereal, fruit and a breakfast cake.

This is a common morning meal for inmates. According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons national menu, oatmeal and toast are also weekday options. Coffee is only served on the weekend. 

On weekdays, lunch is served at 11:00 a.m. and dinner is served after the 4 p.m. headcount. The lunches consist of mains from hamburgers and baked fish or beef tacos and scrambled eggs and biscuits on the weekend. 

As for dinner, the menu includes options like chicken fajitas, pasta and roast beef.  The prison also serves "heart healthy" meals and vegetarian dishes like lentils, tofu and baked beans.

On Sept. 17, Marc Agnifilo and Teny R. Geragos, who represent the singer, wrote in a bail proposal that the Brooklyn facility is “not fit for pre-trial detention” and said the conditions there are “horrific.” They proposed Combs live at home alone in Florida with a 24/7 security team that would monitor a pre-approved guest list, but ultimately he was denied bail for a second time.

“His huge celebrity status and the allegations of violence against women make him a very attractive target for assault," Cameron Lindsay, a retired warden of MDC-Brooklyn and an expert witness in corrections, told PEOPLE.

Combs, who is known by the Bureau of Prisons as Register Number 37452-054, was placed on suicide watch in the early days of his incarceration.

His lawyers told PEOPLE he is “strong, healthy, and focused on his defense,” adding in a statement: “He is committed to fighting this case and has full confidence in both his legal team and the truth.”

Combs' attorney told reporters outside the courthouse on Sept. 17 that the star would fight the charges "with all his energy."

“He’s going to plead not guilty, obviously," Agnifilo added.

In the 14-page indictment, prosecutors allege that the music producer coerced multiple women into performing "elaborate and produced sex performances" with sex workers and characterized the events as "freak offs."

Federal authorities raided Combs' homes in Miami and L.A. in March after several lawsuits alleging sexual abuse were filed against Combs.
