An inmate named Uriel Whyte was stabbed to death in June while in MDC custody awaiting trial on gun charges. NY1.
Another inmate, identified only as Eli, told the newspaper that stabbings were happening “at least a few times a week” in the prison, which he called “very violent.”
He said: “One man was stabbed in the eye with a makeshift knife.”
This was stated by the former director of the MDC, Cameron Lindsay TMZ Diddy’s life could potentially be in danger there, as some inmates may view his murder as a “badge of honor.”
