Harrison David checks into Rikers Island
Harrison David, SEAS ’12, began serving his 3 1/2 month sentence at Rikers Island this morning, the New York Post reports. On July 19, David plead guilty to criminal sale of a controlled substance in the third degree, making him the first of the Columbia 5 to be convicted for the group’s alleged crimes. According to the Post report, David gave “an emotional courtroom hug” to his father before turning himself in, even though the two feuded publicly after the initial arrests.
David was sentenced to 6 months total, but will be able to leave in mid-December thanks to to good behavior and the time he served prior to his conviction.

though i’m glad to see he seems to have learned his lesson. hopefully it’s not too tough in there
kateb375 July 30, 2011 I wish I was miakng some of this stuff up, really, but it actually did all happen. These are dates that I went on in late 2008 but, between my memories and emails, I think I have the truth pretty well nailed down.
When you get there, figure it out who’s who. Find the man nobody’s protecting. A man without friends. And beat him until his eyes bleed. Let them think you are little bit crazy, but respectful, too. Respectful of the right men.
the 25th hour too.
drop the soap.
I heard Harrison likes sports…..I bet he comes out of Rikers a “wide receiver”……they will eat him up like yesterday’s news…..
