Even notorious criminals and high-profile inmates get a taste of Thanksgiving behind bars, including accused UnitedHealthcare CEO slayer Luigi Mangione, convicted sex offender Sean “Diddy” Combs, and Jeffrey Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
These famous inmates, along with other notable figures in federal custody, will have the option to enjoy traditional Thanksgiving fare Thursday at three federal facilities offering holiday-themed meals, The Post has learned.
At Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, home to Mangione, accused sex-dungeon operator Howard Rubin, and alleged sex traffickers Tal and Oren Alexander, the menu will include roast turkey, mashed potatoes, and brown gravy, officials confirmed. New Jersey’s low-security Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix, where Combs is serving a four-year sentence for transporting prostitutes, will serve roast turkey, cornbread dressing, baked sweet potato, mashed potatoes with chicken gravy, whole wheat bread, and a choice of fruit or holiday dessert. In Texas, minimum-security Federal Prison Camp Bryan—housing Maxwell, “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” fraudster Jen Shah, and Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes—will offer an extensive spread including turkey, ham, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes, green beans, dinner rolls, cranberry sauce, gravy, and assorted pies.
All three facilities also provide vegetarian and plant-based protein options such as tofu, soy chicken, and vegetable stir-fry.
At MDC and Fort Dix, the holiday meals are scheduled for lunchtime. The serving time at FPC Bryan has not been specified.
Mangione, 27, is awaiting trial on federal and state charges in the Sunset Park facility related to the December 4 slaying of healthcare executive Brian Thompson in Manhattan. He has pleaded not guilty and could face the death penalty if convicted on federal charges. Since his arrest at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania, Mangione has been held in Brooklyn, a facility previously plagued by power outages and reports of maggot-infested food.
The Alexander brothers are also awaiting trial at MDC on charges of using wealth and influence to drug and sexually assault dozens of women over more than a decade. Rubin, a former NYC financier with ties to George Soros, was arrested in September for allegedly torturing women in his Midtown penthouse BDSM dungeon. MDC has previously held other high-profile inmates, including Maxwell, R. Kelly, and convicted crypto fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried, who have since been transferred to other prisons to serve their sentences.
Combs, 56, is serving a 50-month term at Fort Dix and is scheduled for release on June 4, 2028. He was convicted in July of two counts of transporting individuals to engage in prostitution but was acquitted of more serious sex-trafficking charges.
Other notable inmates at Fort Dix have included “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Joe Giudice, who served 41 months for a 2014 federal fraud conviction. Meanwhile, Maxwell, Shah, and Holmes are at FPC Bryan, nicknamed “Club Fed” for its amenities, including service dog training, a full gym, yoga classes, music programs, and social events.
Maxwell, 63, recently lost her bid to have the Supreme Court review her conviction for grooming and sexually abusing young women at Epstein’s direction; she is serving a 20-year sentence. Shah, 52, is serving a 6½-year term for a telemarketing scam targeting elderly Americans and is scheduled for release on December 10. Holmes, 41, was convicted of fraud in 2022 for misleading investors about Theranos’ blood-testing technology and is serving an 11-year, three-month sentence.
