Rikers Island’s warden Emmanuel Bailey was forced into retirement after having an extramarital affair with a female correctional officer. Bailey is also well known for giving special treatment to hip-hop stars while they served time at the NYC prison complex. Bailey has even been held responsible for an increase in violence at the facility, after he allowed rapper Papoose to perform in 2006, angering rival gang members. All Hip Hop reports:

The Hip-Hop loving warden of Rikers Island has been charged with assault and harassment, over an affair with a female correctional officer.
