Inmates inside the prison where disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried is to be held during his trial have previously been stuck in freezing cells with limited power for a week.
The Metropolitan Detention Center houses more than 1,600 inmates and is situated near the waterfront in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
As well as new inmate Bankman-Fried, the prison had previously held high profile individuals including R. Kelly, Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Martin Shkreli.
