Sean “Diddy” Combs, currently behind bars as he faces federal sex crime charges, is incarcerated in the same area of his detention facility as disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried.

Since Combs’ has been denied bail by two different judges, he has been in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Sources tell PEOPLE that the music mogul is now housed in a dormitory-style area with Bankman-Fried.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons declined to provide information on where in MDC Brooklyn Combs is being held.

“We do not discuss the conditions of confinement for any individual in our custody, including housing quarters or cell assignments,” a spokesperson for the agency tells PEOPLE.

Combs was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution on Sept. 17 and pleaded not guilty. His attorneys proposed a $50 million bail package, which was denied by a judge. The denial was upheld on appeal.

“He is being treated like any other detainee awaiting trial,” a source previously told PEOPLE. “As with all public figures in his position, he was placed on suicide watch upon admittance to the facility as a precaution.”

Combs’ attorney Marc Agnifilo argued in his bail proposal that MDC was “not fit for pre-trial detention,” calling the facility’s conditions “horrific.”

Bankman-Fried, who was convicted on federal fraud charges in 2023 and sentenced to 25 years in prison, has been in MDC since last year.

If convicted on all charges, Combs could potentially face up to life in prison. He is accused of having organized what prosecutors have called “freak offs,” in which he allegedly forced or coerced women into participating in highly orchestrated sex performances with male sex workers.

Prosecutors say Combs would sometimes electronically record the “freak offs” and masturbate during them.

Combs denies the charges. His attorneys tell PEOPLE that he is “strong, healthy, and focused on his defense.”

The Bad Boy Records founder is due back in court in early October.
