The days of wine and roses are over, for now and it seems for a long time, for Sean Combs. The artist popularly known as Puff Daddy or P. Diddy has been living behind bars since he was arrested just three weeks ago, accused of sex trafficking and organized crime, among other charges. The question that many are asking now is how the disowned star spends his days, and if, thanks to his high purchasing power, he enjoys some kind of privilege behind bars.

After pleading not guilty to all the crimes he is accused of, he is now awaiting trial. Apparently, his daily life in a federal prison of these characteristics is “somber,” according to what a former inmate has said about the conditions that exist in a place deprived of liberty like this.

Before his experience on the small screen, Smith was imprisoned for the distribution and sale of narcotics, something he has now spoken about for the Daily Mail.

They allow you to buy some basic things, like a tracksuit and some sneakers, but that’s all,” he emphasizes.

In fact, if you do not strictly comply with the rules, what awaits you is surely an isolation cell. In addition, Sean Combs is currently “in the administrative unit, so he has no contact with others” incarcerated, he said. “People think there are televisions and radios there, but where he is there is nothing. They give you a Bible and a book a week, just like that.”

In this way, if you do not calculate correctly the time you have used, in the end “you are left talking to yourself” within those walls, he points out. “He’s not going to get out of this so easily,” he finally concludes when asked about the immediate future of the well-known rapper.
