Odaily Planet Daily News Reuters reporter Luc Cohen tweeted that Bureau of Prisons records show that SBF is currently being held in the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn. Ordering SBF to be jailed a day earlier, Judge Lewis Kaplan admitted the prison was "not on anyone's list of five-star facilities".
It is reported that the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center is located in New York City, USA, and currently houses more than 1,600 prisoners. The detention center is controversial due to poor supervision conditions and medical and health issues. In 2019, New York State Attorney General Leticia James filed a friend-of-the-court brief in a lawsuit against the Bureau of Prisons, calling living conditions at MDC "unacceptable and inhumane."
Prior to the news on August 12, the US judge revoked SBF's bail, and the SBF lawyer team subsequently appealed.
