Celebrity Thanksgiving Dishes: What Ghislaine, Diddy, and Luigi Are Enjoying

Thanksgiving 2023 marks an unusual experience for celebrity inmates, including Ghislaine Maxwell, Sean “Diddy” Combs, and Luigi Mangione. Each is spending the holiday in federal prison, facing unique dining circumstances this year.

Key Details about Their Thanksgiving Experience

This year, Maxwell is observing her fifth Thanksgiving behind bars. She is currently serving a 20-year sentence related to her involvement in sex trafficking. Diddy is completing his second Thanksgiving in prison, with a four-year sentence for transporting sex workers. Meanwhile, Mangione is experiencing his first holiday in custody, awaiting trial for the shooting death of healthcare executive Brian Thompson.

Meal Timing and Dining Conditions

All three will have their Thanksgiving meal at 11 a.m., the standard time for the main hot meal in federal facilities. However, their dining experiences will differ based on their respective prisons.

• Ghislaine Maxwell: Recently moved to a lower-security Texas facility, Maxwell will enjoy a turkey meal with plastic utensils.
• Sean “Diddy” Combs: Dining conditions remain unspecified, reflecting the standard for more secure prisons.
• Luigi Mangione: Details about his meal aren’t publicly available, but he shares the same situation as Combs.

Thanksgiving Meal Preferences

Each facility offers different menus. While Maxwell and others at her Texas location will receive drumsticks with their meals, those in higher-security facilities will settle for pre-sliced turkey, known as “turkey roast.” This term reflects a less appealing preparation method.

According to prison consultant Sam Mangel, camp inmates receive the privilege of enjoying intact turkey on the bone, which includes drumsticks measuring between six to nine inches. Mangel explained that these drumsticks are seen as a sign of trust, though they often contain more tendons than meat.

Thanksgiving at Federal Facilities

Inmates at lower-security camps enjoy better dining experiences with more substantial meal options compared to those in higher-security settings. Despite the upgraded dining conditions, Mangel noted that the turkey served is far from top quality.

As Thanksgiving unfolds, the contrasting circumstances of these celebrity inmates highlight the various experiences within the federal prison system. Each individual will partake in this traditional holiday meal, albeit under the constraints of their respective environments.
