Foxy Brown Gets Out of Isolation
November 27, 2007

We know there's a joke about a foxhole in here somewhere, but we'll avoid it and just say that Foxy Brown has been allowed out of solitary confinement and has rejoined the general population at the Rose M. Singer Center for Women on New York's Rikers Island. Inga Marchand, the real name of Foxy Brown, spent 40 days separated from the general population. Foxy was placed in isolation last month after she reportedly got into a fight with a fellow inmate on their way to the dining hall, according to E! The fight wasn't the only problem for Foxy Brown, who allegedly also refused to submit a urine sample for a drug test. Foxy also reportedly berated corrections officers.

Originally, Foxy Brown was sentenced to 76 days in solitary compartment while her fight-mate only got 11 days. During her 40 days apart, Foxy Brown spent 23 hours a day alone in a cell, including the recent holidays. For that one rare hour a day, Foxy Brown could meet with her lawyer and other visitors or visit the library. 36 days were cut off the sentence due to the cooperation of Foxy Brown. Because of her celebrity status, Foxy Brown is still receiving protective custody as a safety measure in general population.

On September 8th, Foxy Brown was sentenced to a year behind bars because she violated her probation. In 2006, Foxy got three years of probation for an altercation at a nail salon but she left the state without permission, failed to complete an anger management program and had other assault allegations. Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Melissa Jackson ordered Foxy Brown behind bars for a year and, even there, Inga can't seem to control her anger.

It won't even be over when Foxy gets out as she still faces multiple counts from an incident where she reportedly threw her BlackBerry at a neighbor. Last month, Foxy Brown pleaded not guilty to assault, attempted assault, and criminal possession of a weapon. And that's not it. There are also two misdemeanor charges from an arrest in Fort Lauderdale last February. Foxy Brown needs to learn how to behave both behind and in front of bars.
