REUTERS/David Dee Delgado/File PhotoNEW YORK, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Sam Bankman-Fried will prepare for his fraud trial from a Brooklyn jail where inmates ranging from convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell to Honduras' former president have complained of subpar conditions.
In recent years, MDC has been plagued by persistent staffing shortages, power outages and maggots in inmates' food.
Earlier this year, a guard pleaded guilty to accepting bribes to smuggle in drugs.
It is now the jail housing detainees awaiting federal trials in New York City, after the Manhattan Correctional Center closed in 2021 for improvements.
