Living locked up isn’t going well for disgraced Bad Bad mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, said prison expert Larry Levine.
Levine, director and founder of Wall Street Prison Consultants, appeared on DailyMail.com’s hit 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 tells me that they come to visit him several times a day, you know, to make sure he’s okay,” Levine said.
Prison expert Larry Levine said Sean Combs is lonely in prison and is being carefully monitored by mental health experts while locked up in a Brooklyn jail.

He added: “Someone from the psychology department comes to visit him, so it’s like a game they play with the inmates.” Remember, he is not playing chess. He is alone in a cell.
Combs, 54, has been locked up in Brooklyn’s notorious Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) since he was arrested Sept. 16 on federal charges of racketeering conspiracy, 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, says Combs is already receiving preferential treatment in the Brooklyn jail.
“My sources tell me (Combs) is getting additional rain per week,” Levine said. ‘I don’t know how many. It probably varies. They are giving them additional privileges.
The MDC, known for its horrific conditions and violent incidents, currently houses about 1,200 inmates.
Other infamous criminals, including Jeffrey Epstein, his ‘madam’ and partner Ghislaine Maxwell and R&B singer R. Kelly, have been held at the Brooklyn facility.
There have been numerous deaths at MDC, prompting several civil lawsuits against the jail for wrongful death.
One included the death of inmate Edwin Cordero, 36, who died in July after being injured in a prison fight.
Cordero’s attorney, Andrew Dalack, had called the facility “an overcrowded, understaffed and neglected federal prison that is hell on earth.” ‘
Sean Combs is one of the approximately 1,200 inmates locked up at Brooklyn’s notorious Metropolitan Detention Center. The facility has had numerous cases of inmate deaths and violence over the years.
Cryptocurrency magnate Sam Bankman-Fried, who was found guilty of fraud, is also in jail and he complained about the prison food.
Bankman-Fried, who is vegan, has survived on a diet of peanut butter, bread and water, his lawyers said.
Combs had similar complaints.
“I think the food is probably the hardest part,” one of Combs’ attorneys, Marc Agnifilo, said after a hearing earlier this month.
Levine, who spent 10 years in federal prison for fraud and racketeering, said someone like Combs, who is accustomed to a lavish lifestyle, will be affected not only by the physical restrictions in his cell.

He said allegations that Combs allegedly sexually assaulted minors also make him a prime target among his fellow inmates.
This week, Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee and other lawyers 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 at a VMA after-party in 2000.
The Busby law firm represents about 120 alleged victims who it announced would file lawsuits against the Bad Boy producer earlier this month.
Meanwhile, Combs’ attorneys are still trying to get him out of jail and filed an appeal with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court after two judges refused to release him on bail. The matter will be discussed at a hearing on November 4.
“He has a solitary existence,” Levine said of Combs. “He’s got a target on his back and you know… it’s a fact that he has too much on too many people.”
“Someone is going to have to get him out and it won’t be the inmates who are there because they can’t get to him.”
