mostra másIn a significant move aimed at addressing the severe safety and security issues plaguing the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York, federal investigators from various agencies launched an interagency operation on Monday. The operation, which involves the Bureau of Prisons, the Justice Department's inspector general's office, and other law enforcement agencies, is designed to maintain a safe environment for both employees and inmates at the troubled lockup.
The MDC has been under intense scrutiny due to its deplorable conditions, rampant violence, and multiple deaths. The jail houses approximately 1,200 detainees, including hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs and Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the collapsed FTX cryptocurrency exchange. Last month, federal prosecutors charged nine inmates in connection with a spate of attacks from April to August, which highlighted serious safety and security issues. The allegations included charges after two inmates were stabbed to death and another was speared in the spine with a makeshift icepick. A correctional officer was also charged with shooting at a car during an unauthorized high-speed chase.
The interagency operation is part of a broader push by the Justice Department and Bureau of Prisons to fix problems at the jail and hold perpetrators accountable. Despite the efforts, inmates have long complained about violence, dreadful conditions, severe staffing shortages, and the widespread smuggling of drugs and other contraband, some of it facilitated by employees. They have also been subject to frequent lockdowns and barred from leaving their cells for visits, calls, showers, or exercise.
Sam Bankman-Fried, who is awaiting sentencing for his role in the collapse of FTX, is another high-profile inmate at the MDC. His detention has added to the public interest in the jail's conditions, leading to increased scrutiny and calls for reform. The Bureau of Prisons has stated that the operation in Brooklyn was pre-planned and that there is no active threat. However, officials declined to provide specific details about the operation until it is complete to maintain safety and security.
The Metropolitan Detention Center, located in an industrial area on the Brooklyn waterfront, is primarily used for post-arrest detention for people awaiting trial in federal courts in Manhattan or Brooklyn. The jail's issues have been a focal point for both the public and legal authorities, with Combs' lawyers repeatedly highlighting the horrors at the jail
