Because he was a high-profile inmate, Plaxico Burress was placed in a protective-custody unit at the upstate Oneida Correctional Facility, which has 930 inmates, 20 in protective custody.
While in prison, he completed an aggression-management program and worked as a lawn and grounds laborer, according the state’s Department of Correctional Services.
He violated prison rules three times: He lied to a guard about having permission to use the phone; gave another inmate a pair of black and silver sneakers that were deemed contraband; and had too many cassette tapes and an unauthorized extra pillow in his “filthy” cell.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, “Inmate Burress’s room was filthy. I found opened bags of food on the floor, under the bed and under dirty clothes, books and paperwork, mail scattered throughout the room.” The report continued, “Burress was told to clean his room.”
