Sean 'Diddy' Combs bankrolled a Thanksgiving feast for his fellow inmates, who were expecting bran flakes and prison sandwiches, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The disgraced rapper's reps claim he spent two days preparing the dinner after he and other lags brought food from a commissary called Bankroll Bosses.
Cooking Up A Feast
Combs hoped the meal would lift morale behind bars where 'everybody is missing their family.'
They distributed the meals to every housing unit in Fort Dix, the New Jersey prison where Combs now resides.
Speaking via his reps, Combs told TMZ: "Thanksgiving, to me, is about making sure other people eat. Everybody misses their family."
B.I., a former gang leader who helped organize the initiative, says, "We cooked the food and sent it to all the buildings. Enough for about 200 people in each building. It took two days to prep everything. People get depressed during the holidays. We just wanted to come together as a family and do our own thing."
Prisons usually provide a "bare bones" Thanksgiving.
Fort Dix Thanksgiving Meal Revealed
Combs wanted to ensure fellow lags had filled stomachs on Thanksgiving.
The menu at Fort Dix was set to offer inmates a 6.30 am breakfast including bran flakes, whole wheat bread, bananas, and two jelly packets with margarine, with a side of skim milk.
Lunch, served between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m., resembled a more traditional Thanksgiving meal, with prisoners getting to choose between roasted turkey or soy chicken and vegetables with a side of cornbread and dressing.
Sides included baked sweet potato, mashed potatoes, corn, chicken gravy, and whole wheat bread, with margarine provided. Inmates can also choose fruit or a holiday dessert, accompanied by a beverage.
Dinner, served at 4:30 p.m., offered the inmates the choice of a deli meat and sliced cheese sandwich or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Side options included potato chips, fruit, dessert, or whole wheat bread and jelly.
Getting Used to Life Behind Bars?
The disgraced rapper has got a job at Fort Dix, working in the media library at the prison.
Combs appears to be acclimatizing to his new surroundings, where he’ll see out the remainder of his 50-month sentence after being found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
He said: "There are a lot of misinterpretations about prison. There is a strong brotherhood. We all look out for each other. It’s nothing but a positive thing, it's like a little bit of home in a dark place."
Combs has a new job working in the media library at the prison, as RadarOnline.com reported.
