We've learned Plaxico Burress arrived at Rikers Island jail in New York at 1:20 PM ET, this according to Deputy Commissioner for NYC Dept. of Corrections Steve Morello.
We're told Plax's stay will be a short one -- he'll be shipped off tomorrow to his next destination ... Fishkill Correctional Facility.
While Plax is behind bars at Rikers, we're told he'll be staying in an individual cell -- meaning no cell mate -- which includes a mattress, sheet and blanket, drinking cup, faucet, toilet, toilet paper and soap.
Also, we're told Plax will shower separately because of his celebrity status -- so he can drop the soap all he wants.
We're told Plax's meals will be delivered to his cell -- for dinner tonight he'll have hot dogs, beans, whole wheat bread and fruit. For breakfast tomorrow he'll get fruit, grits, whole wheat bread and his choice of coffee or tea.

TMZ has learned where Plaxico Burress is expected to serve part of his 2-year prison sentence -- a place more than 100 years old.
Plaxico is currently in the Manhattan Detention Complex, but Plaxcico's lawyer, Ben Brafman, tells us Plax is expected to be shipped to the famous Rikers Island correctional facility and then quickly moved to the Fishkill Correctional Facility in upstate New York.
We're told Plaxico will spend a total of 4-6 weeks going through the Rikers and Fishkill systems -- while authorities determine where Plaxico will spend the bulk of his sentence.
FYI -- Fishkill, which was constructed in 1896, was originally used as a hospital for the criminally insane.

Turns out Foxy Brown's jail stay was nicer than your last vacation.
Ms. Brown, who did nine months at Rikers Island after beating two nail-salon manicurists, was allowed to wear Gucci sneakers and a Fendi scarf, according to a great story in the New York Post.
When the stuff got soiled, the sycophantic jailers just replenished her supply. As the story goes -- the jailers also facilitated a photo shoot for Foxy.
The jailers were constantly in her cell. According to one Post source "they were in her cell day and night" -- whatever she wanted she got.
