Plaxico's New Home -- Stark Reality

We've learned Plaxico Burress has arrived at his new temporary home -- the medium-security Ulster Correctional Facility in Napanoch, NY.

This isn't his final destination -- he'll stay at Ulster until processing is completed -- anywhere from a couple of days to a few weeks.

Plax got standard clothing issue, a department ID card and he'll get a standard haircut and shave. He will also be strip searched and fingerprinted. He can make only one 10-minute phone call today.

Plax will be separated from the general population ... confined to a single cell. He gets to leave his cell for an hour in the morning and two hours at night.

For now, it's three meals a day and lights out at 11:00 PM.

3. This guy accidentally shot himself. Chris Brown beat the hell out of Rihanna and he gets a slap on the wrist. WTF is going on? Let Plaxico go! He is NOT a criminal and he in NOT evil. Chris Brown is evil and he is a criminal! BTW Kanye West shot himself in the foot verbally send him to prison too.

6. UH SO. He shouldn't be in prison for 2 years for this, but he is now. Why is this newsworthy that he is in a jail somewhere that is not Riker's Island. Again I say SO. I'm a Giants fan by the way.

7. Yeah, he accidentally shot himself but COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE ELSE with his ILLEGAL handgun! What is so hard to understand here? He should feel fortunate that he didn't hurt anyone else & isn't facing a big-ass civil suit for doing it! He'd be out MILLIONS for that. Could have had a plea deal & gotten 6 months but like so many other pampered celebrities who think they are going to get away with their BS, he opted for a trial & crapped out! People are sick to death of gun violence so I say; get in line, get your little duffle bag with your toothbrush, comb, soap, & your prison jammy's & suck it up!!!! Hope to see more sentences like this for these little pr$ck's in the future!!

8. This guy should definitley be set free...I agree 100%....they need to switch him with Chris Brown. This is bull.

9. Dam, it doesn't pay to shoot yourself in the foot. I wonder how many people are behind bars for doing this? Excessive time I think.

10. Plax was sentenced to prison for a relatively minor crime because he is black.

Chris Brown got a slap on the wrist for a violent crime because he's ... wait a minute! Is it possible that (gasp!) maybe race DOESN'T have anything to do with the sentencing of black people???

13. Can we please stop glorifying these criminals? Following them like they're on a rock star tour? Chris Brown, Plaxico. He carries his baby yesterday so people get photos of him. Should have been thinking of that baby when he decided to carry that gun into the club.
