real answer is boring; i worked as a pd before quitting bc fuck that job. diddy has been fighting to improve his conditions; but when we have a high-publicity case in the pipeline, that person cannot be exposed to any threats as it would undermine our prosecution. think of it like this: > defendant meets jury, doesnt say anything to the but they observe body language heavily  > they see the defendant, who has not been granted bail looking disheveled > jury builds empathy for defendant and even worse; if he does get hurt, the entire trial is fucked as we argued to keep him in there, he gets hurt and now his abuse in the incarceration system is overshadowing his actual crimes
