The feds are investigating the jail where Diddy is being held, which lawyers called “horrible”

The federal government is launching an “interagency operation” at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Complex, the jail where Sean “Diddy” combs is carried out, something lawyers previously called “horrible” in a court filing.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons tells PEOPLE in the statement that the agency is carrying out the operation alongside the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General and other law enforcement agencies.

The operation is part of an effort to improve conditions and maintain “a safe environment for both our employees and the incarcerated individuals housed at MDC Brooklyn,” the office says.

“This operation was pre-planned and there is no active threat,” the Bureau of Prisons says in a statement. “In an effort to maintain the safety of all personnel within the facility and the integrity of this operation, we are unable to provide additional information at this time. We will provide additional information upon completion of the operation.”

Combs, who is it? accused of sex trafficking, extortion and transportation for prostitutionHe is being held at MDC Brooklyn after two judges denied his bail request.

In the rejected bail motion, Combs’ attorneys said the facility was “not suitable for pretrial detention” and called conditions “horrible.”

After a court appearance on October 10, attorney Marc Agnifilo was asked what the biggest adjustment was for the mogul being behind bars.

“I think the food is probably the hardest part.” Agnifilo said.

Located in the same area of ​​the facility that Combs is Sam Bankman-Fritothe convicted fraudster who founded FTX, sources previously told PEOPLE.

“(Combs) is being treated like any other detainee awaiting trial,” said a source said. “As with all public figures in his position, he was placed on suicide watch upon entering the facility as a precaution.”

If convicted of all charges, Combs could spend the rest of his life in prison.
