Is the Hip Hop Industry Dirtier Than the Dope Game?

According to the New York Post, Foxy Brown has been placed in solitary confinement on Rikers Island for various jailhouse violations.

Sources told the paper that Brown was placed in solitary confinement beginning Oct. 16 for 76 days following three violations at Rikers Island this month.

The first incident is said to have occurred Oct. 3 when Brown was on her way to the dining hall for a meal. She and another inmate began shoving each other prompting prison officials to intervene. Then the very next day reports say Brown was verbally abusive to prison officials and refused to take a random drug test.

The three cases were reviewed by the Department of Correction and Foxy was sentenced to 76 days in "punitive segregation". In her new holding area, Brown is expected to spend up to 23 hours a day alone by herself in a cell.

For one hour each day Brown is allowed to see visitors, meet with her attorney, go to the library and work out away from general population.

Foxy possibly faces more disciplinary charges when another case is examined in which she refused to board a Rikers Island bus at least twice to go to a scheduled Brooklyn court date on Oct. 12.

Foxy was sentenced on Sept. 8 to a year in jail for violating her probation after several arrests.
