Sean Combs spent his first Thanksgiving behind bars after a judge denied his third request for bail. Judge Arun Subramanian rejected Combs’ $50 million bond proposal on Wednesday, Nov. 27.
The NY Post’s Page Six obtained the Thanksgiving menu for inmates at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
According to Page Six, the music mogul’s breakfast consisted of fruit, breakfast cake and cereal with skim milk.
For lunch he had a choice of turkey roast and mashed potatoes with gravy, mixed vegetables, cranberry sauce and dinner rolls, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
For dinner Combs had the option of turkey roast with vegetables, or hot and sour tofu, 2 dinner rolls with margarine, as well as assorted holiday pies and a beverage.
The dinner menu also featured 2 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on whole wheat bread, fruit and potato chips for those who don’t eat turkey.
Prosecutors claimed Combs paid 8 other inmates to use their phone privileges. He also used a banned app to make phone calls to people he should not be talking to.
The feds insisted Combs was a danger to witnesses and his accusers.
The government also said Combs used his social media influence to sway the jury pool by posting a video of his children wishing him a happy birthday.
Combs’ legal team asked the judge to place him on house arrest at his luxury three bedroom apartment overlooking Central Park on the Upper East Side.
They argued that the apartment would be more restrictive than the jail because he would be monitored by security 24/7.
But the judge denied the motion for bail, citing “serious risk of witness tampering” as a factor in his decision.
Combs, 55, has been locked up since his September arrest at a hotel in Manhattan. Combs flew to New York a week earlier to turn himself in.
Sources say Combs believed he would be released on bond if he turned himself in.
Now Combs’ fans say he should have flown to Bali, Indonesia where his friend Russell Simmons is hiding out after multiple women accused him of sex crimes.
Bali is a safe haven because Indonesia does not have an extradition treaty with the United States.
Combs’ celebrity pals who don’t trust the U.S. government have already fled the U.S. for safe haven in other countries.
