Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.1 Corinthians 6 : 15

The most serious counts at his sex trafficking trial!
NEW YORK (Reuters) -Despite being found not guilty on the most serious counts at his sex trafficking trial, Sean “Diddy” Combs will spend months awaiting sentencing at a notoriously understaffed and violent Brooklyn jail where the music mogul has lived through nearly ten months of lockdowns and fights.
But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?1 Kings 22 : 24
The facility, which has also held convicted sex traffickers!
Combs, 55, has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center since his September 2024 arrest. The facility, which has also held convicted sex traffickers like British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell and rhythm and blues singer R. Kelly, is a far cry from the luxurious Los Angeles and Miami mansions Combs called home until last year.

After the verdict was read on Wednesday, Combs’ lawyers asked U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian to release him on $1 million bond ahead of his sentencing, expected to take place by October.
“I understand that you don’t, that Mr. Combs does not want to go back to the MDC,” the judge said. Combs shook his head.
The sins of Babylon will be laid open. The fearful results of enforcing the observances of the church by civil authority, the inroads of spiritualism, the stealthy but rapid progress of the papal power—all will be unmasked. By these solemn warnings the people will be stirred. Thousands upon thousands will listen who have never heard words like these. In amazement they hear the testimony that Babylon is the church, fallen because of her errors and sins, because of her rejection of the truth sent to her from heaven. GC 606.2
Violent Behavior presented during the Trial
His hopes of returning to one of those homes and the embrace of his family after being cleared of the more serious charges were soon dashed. The judge denied Combs’ request for bail, citing evidence of his violent behavior presented during the trial.
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; Isaiah 61 : 1
Metropolitan Detention Center!
[13] And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, [14] That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:Genesis 39 : 13-14
In recent years, MDC has been plagued by persistent staffing shortages, power outages and maggots in inmates’ food. Two weeks after Combs’ arrest, prosecutors announced criminal charges against nine MDC inmates for crimes including assault, attempted murder and murder at the facility in the months before Combs arrived.
So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof. 2 Kings 4 : 40
In January of last year, a federal judge in Manhattan declined to order a man charged with drug crimes detained pending trial at the MDC, calling the conditions there an “ongoing tragedy.”
So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.2 Kings 4 : 40
Another judge said he would convert an older defendant’s nine-month jail term to home incarceration!
Last August, another judge said he would convert an older defendant’s nine-month jail term to home incarceration if he were sent to MDC, citing the jail’s “dangerous, barbaric conditions.”
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8 : 32
“Intensive efforts to improve conditions at MDC Brooklyn.”
The U.S. Bureau of Prisons, which operates MDC, said in a statement it was engaged in “intensive efforts to improve conditions at MDC Brooklyn.” The agency said it confiscated drugs, weapons and other contraband during a multi-day sweep of the jail last October and November.
The scene was changed. The company now presented the appearance of a Catholic procession. One bore in his hand a cross, another a reed. And as they approached, the one carrying a reed made a circle around the house, saying three times: “This house is proscribed. The goods must be confiscated. They have spoken against our holy order.” Terror seized me, and I ran through the house, out of the north door, and found myself in the midst of a company, some of whom I knew, but I dared not speak a word to them for fear of being betrayed. I tried to seek a retired spot where I might weep and pray without meeting eager, inquisitive eyes wherever I turned. I repeated frequently: “If I could only understand this! If they will tell me what I have said or what I have done!” 1T 577.2
During the eight-week trial, U.S. Marshals transported Combs to and from the courthouse in Lower Manhattan each day from the facility in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park neighborhood, which has also housed former cryptocurrency entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried and Luigi Mangione, accused of killing a health insurance executive.
The calamities by land and sea, the unsettled state of society, the alarms of war, are portentous. They forecast approaching events of the greatest magnitude. The agencies of evil are combining their forces and consolidating. They are strengthening for the last great crisis. Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and the final movements will be rapid ones.—Testimonies for the Church 9:11 (1909). LDE 11.2
Bankman-Fried has since been moved to a low-security prison in California and is appealing his fraud conviction and 25-year sentence. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to murder charges.
A jury found Combs not guilty on Wednesday on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, sparing him a potential life sentence, but convicted him on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution that could land him in prison for several years. He had pleaded not guilty to all charges.
[17] He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: [18] Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: [19] Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. Psalm 105 : 17-19
Combs’ defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo said in court on Wednesday that Combs had been housed in “a very difficult part of the MDC” where there have been fights. His lawyer Alexandra Shapiro said in a November 2024 court filing that frequent lockdowns at the facility had impaired Combs’ ability to prepare for trial.
For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor. Ecclesiastes 4 : 14
On Wednesday, Combs’ lawyers praised MDC staff, who they said had facilitated their access to him during the trial.

“Despite the terrible conditions at the MDC, I want to thank the good people who work there,” defense lawyer Teny Geragos told reporters after the verdict.
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.John 5 : 17, [39] And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. [40] When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?Matthew 21 : 39-40
