A Rikers Island corrections officer is being investigated for possibly helping an accused cop killer try to escape from custody. The unidentified guard may have passed a handcuff key to Lee Woods, one of the men accused of gunning down Officer Russel Timoshenko a year ago during a traffic stop. The key was discovered in Woods' digestive tract when he was passed through a metal detector at the jail. Two other guards have been fired......

Earlier this week it was announced that Foxy Brown would be released from prison after serving a drama-filled eight months behind bars. The first stop on her own personal freedom (publicity) tour, she said, was church, where "I've got to get on my knees." But what really came first was shopping in Harlem, followed by a trip to her mother's home in Prospect Heights. Her Rolls Royce also carted around the VH1 crew who are......

Parents of the woman accused of killing real estate broker to the stars Linda Stein have been championing her innocence to news stations. Natavia Lowery's mother Lottie Lowery-Walsh and her stepfather Daniel Walsh spoke to WCBS 2 and WABC 7 about the 26-year-old's inability to have committed a crime. Lowery, who is being held without bail at Rikers, is accused of bludgeoning Stern to death in her Fifth Avenue apartment. Police claim that Lowery confessed......

Last we heard, rapper Foxy Brown, who has been on Rikers for about 8 months now, was trying to get an early release because of her "hearing problems". Deaf or not, something worked, and this week she'll be a free woman once again. After violating probation last year by attacking a couple of manicurists, she was sent to the slammer -- and even spent 40-days in solitary confinement for a confrontation with officers there. Now......

Remy Ma, who is possibly more famous now for what landed her in jail than for her music, is still managing to make headlines from behind bars. A little first-degree assault and weapons charges aren't going to stand in the way of her dream wedding, to be held later this month on a little island off the coast of the Bronx. She and her beau, Brooklyn rapper Papoose, plan to get married on Rikers as......

The family of a possibly insane killer who butchered a doctor now wants him to be reexamined. Last week, a lawyer for David Tarloff, who killed a psychiatrist in her Upper East Side office and attacked her colleague with a variety of knives in February, mentioned his client's problems and now a motion reveals their extent. Tarloff's family believes he has stopped taking medication that stabilized him enough to be fit for trial when he......

David Tarloff, who is accused of slaying an Upper East Side therapist with a meat cleaver, is apparently getting some bad treatment himself on Rikers Island. Reportedly he isn't receiving his medication properly, or at all. Tarloff was arrested on February 16th, and moved from Bellevue Hospital Center to Rikers (under protective custody) on March 14th. Now his (new) court-appointed attorney, Bryan Konoski, has said, "we're extremely unhappy with the way the hospital suddenly released......
