Feds investigate prison where Diddy is being held, which lawyers called “horrific.”

The federal government launches an ‘interagency operation’ at the Metropolitan Detention Complex in Brooklyn, the prison where Sean “Diddy” Combs is being held, which his lawyers previously called “horrific” in a lawsuit.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons tells PEOPLE in the statement that the agency is conducting the operation in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Justice, the 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 agency said.

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

Combs, who is that? charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitutionis being held at MDC Brooklyn after two judges denied his bail request.

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

After an Oct. 10 court appearance, attorney Marc Agnifilo was asked what the mogul’s biggest adjustment has been while behind bars.

“I think the eating is probably the roughest part of it,” said Agnifilo.

Housed in the same part of the facility as Combs Sam Bankman-Friedthe convicted fraudster who founded FTX, sources previously told PEOPLE.

“(Combs) is treated like any other inmate awaiting trial,” a spokesperson said said source. “Like all public figures in his position, he was placed on suicide watch upon entry to the facility as a precaution.”

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

The interdepartmental operation comes a month after nine MDC prisoners from Brooklyn were indicted following a series of attacks Associated press reported.

The sex crimes charges against the Bad Boy Records founder revolve around what prosecutors have called “freak offs,” in which he allegedly coerced or forced women to participate in highly orchestrated sex performances with male sex workers.
