Studying Time: 4 minutes

Somebody almost slit the throat of disgraced rapper Diddy.

It’s potential that Trump might commute or pardon the rapper any day now.

Barring that, he’s headed to a jail the place his 50-month sentence will likely be a bit safer than his present, infamous jail.

Both means, he got here awfully near demise behind bars.

Diddy almost had his throat slit in jail

Charlucci Finney instructed The Every day Mail in regards to the alleged knife incident involving Diddy.

One of many nights throughout which the disgraced rapper was sleeping at MDC Brooklyn, he awoke — with a bladed weapon pressed in opposition to his throat.

He was simply seconds away from having his throat slit, in keeping with the report.

Finney was unclear on the main points of how his pal survived.

Even Finney is fast to notice that the intention might not have been murder.

It’s potential that, significantly at such an notorious jail facility, the assault was random.

However nobody appears to consider that. Notorious rappers on trial for sensational crimes can simply turn into targets.

And, Finney famous, folks going through trial for heinous intercourse crimes are at added threat whereas incarcerated.

Although Diddy and Luigi Mangione are each at MDC Brooklyn, the character of their fees reportedly makes Mangione as in style behind bars as he’s in in the remainder of the nation. The identical, in a a lot darker sense, is true for the rapper.

Will he be getting a get-out-of-jail-free card? Perhaps

As we’ve got beforehand reported, Diddy will serve a 50-month sentence in federal jail.

For no matter purpose, the jury convicted him solely of the lesser fees — and never on intercourse trafficking or racketeering.

Even this previous summer season, the rapper hoped for a pardon from Donald Trump, who has made broad use of the manager clemency powers of his workplace.

(None extra controversial than pardoning the attackers who stormed the Capitol on January 6, however he’s come shut — flirting with the thought of pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, for instance)

And, as we reported earlier this week, the rapper may very well be on the receiving finish of this flagrant abuse of energy, too.

Notably, it was TMZ who first reported that Trump might situation a commutation of the rapper’s sentence as early as this week.

Curiously, the White Home has publicly denied that that is the case.

TMZ is standing by their reporting — like them or not, the tabloid is diligent in terms of confirming their sources.

A pardon signifies that the recipient’s conviction is undone. Sure, a jury of their friends convicted them, however proof apart, they might go free. Trump did this for Todd and Julie Chrisley.

A commutation signifies that the conviction stands. Nevertheless, the sentence is changed by a lesser one — typically with the recipient going free. Trump did this for disgraced former congressman George Santos simply final week.

Incidents like this are unhealthy, even after they occur to Diddy

It’s so tempting to shrug off this near-death expertise as a result of it was Diddy.

Why, it’s simple to marvel, ought to we care what befalls an evil man?

However not everybody in jail or jail is evil. Some didn’t commit the crime for which they’re behind bars, and others did commit the deed however shouldn’t face incarceration for it.

And everybody behind bars — sure, even essentially the most evil scum alive — ought to be secure whereas incarcerated.

Why? As a result of each jail, each jail, could have harmless folks, could have respectable folks, could have individuals who don’t deserve violence, concern, or ache.

As a society, we have to craft our prisons — from cells to showers and past — as we might if we knew, with out a shadow of a doubt, {that a} good and harmless individual would spend years of their lives there. And we do, in actual fact, know that.
