A law enforcement source says the 54-year-old music mogul — who has beencharged withsex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution following his Sept. 16 arrest — is no longer onsuicide watch.

A source also says Combs has visited with family while at the detention facility, where he is currently in custody before his court appearance in early October.

“He is focused and very strong," a lawyer for Combs tells PEOPLE. “He is concentrating on his defense and preparing for his trial.”

Earlier this month, sources told PEOPLE that Combs had been placed on suicide watch for preventative measures following his arrest, given that he was in shock and his mental state was unclear. At the time, it was not known if he was suicidal or how long he was on suicide watch.

Suicide watch is the “supervisory precautions taken for suicidal inmates that require frequent observation,” according to the U.S Department of Justice National Institute of Corrections.

On Sept. 24, sources also said that Combs and disgraced FTX founderSam Bankman-Friedare in custody in the same area of the Brooklyn detention facility, which houses 1,600 inmates. The facility, as previously reported, is known for being dangerous and understaffed.
