Rapper Foxy Brown has received 76 days in punitive segregation after getting into an altercation with a fellow inmate at Rikers Island jail, authorities said Tuesday. Stephen Morello, deputy commissioner for public information for the city’s correction department said that she was separated from other inmates on Oct. 16th. Foxy and the other female inmate got into cat fight earlier this month, said Morello, adding that he didn’t know what the fight was about, but that neither was injured. After that incident, Brown was abusive towards correction guards and then refused to take a random drug test. The combined violations, resulted with more than two months in punitive segregation, where an inmate can spend up to 23 hours a day in isolation. Foxy is serving a year at Rikers for violating her probation when she got into a fight with manicurists in a nail salon.
Authorities said Foxy, whose real name is Inga Marchand, did not attend her required anger management classes and traveled out of the city without permission.
She also refused to attend court in Brooklyn Oct. 12 after she was accused of throwing a cell phone at a neighbor who complained about the volume of her car radio last August. Four days later, she appeared in court and was arraigned on charges of “assault, attempted assault, menacing and criminal possession of a weapon — the cell phone.” She has pleaded not guilty.
