Before Sean “Diddy” Combs was transferred to New Jersey’s FCI Fort Dix to serve his four-year (50 month) sentence, he did time at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. It was reported that Combs dealt with some “horrible” elements during his stay at the MDC, though it’s since been revealed that he also used the time productively. As part of that, he also taught an entrepreneurship class for inmates. Now, a formerly incarcerated attendee is speaking out about what kind of teacher the Grammy winner was.
The 56-year rapper and New York native launched the “Free Game With Diddy” program while serving time at the MDC. Former pupil Raymond Castillo shared positive thoughts on the course while speaking with Us Weekly. Castillo said Diddy’s intention was to show inmates “how to make a realistic, successful plan and the sacrifices and the steps we had to take to see it through.” He also said the “impactful” class showed him and others “become successful in life and how everything in life has value and purpose and meaning to it.”
