Living It Up While Locked Down

Now this is favor from the Lord. If you haven’t paid your tithes this month you may want to break out your wallet after reading this.
Foxy Brown received the star treatment while incarcerated, being allowed to sport Gucci sneakers and a Fendi scarf – - and when they got dirty, new ones were brought to her. Owww! Puts a whole new twist on pampered pets, right?
Not only was Brown allowed to do an interview and photoshoot for XXL magazine, but the paper went as far as to insinuate that prison officials acted as if they were a part of her entourage, catering to her every need.
“City prison officials acted like an entourage of fawning valets for rapper Foxy Brown when she was locked up on Rikers Island, hanging out in her cell, bringing meals and makeup, giving her unlimited TV and phone use, and toting her bags when she was released last April,” the paper’s report read.
The Post alleges that the prison’s top rabbi Leib Glanz, his boss Imam Umar Abdul-Jalil, played a key role in Brown’s star treatment, going to bat for her when she wanted something special.
“Umar would call the warden, and the warden at the time would comply,” one insider said.
“They were in her cell day and night,” a department supervisor added. “Whatever she wanted, Sister Aisha would talk to warden [Michelle] Mack and get it.”
Since the report, the New York Department of Corrections, released a statement, claiming Foxy’s treatment was “within normal guidelines.”
“Inmates were entitled to wear their own clothing. That’s her choice,” Correction spokesman Stephen Morello said. [source]
