Well, he is still in prison serving his two year sentence. And just yesterday, the NY prison system denied Burress' second request for a work release. (Only 2% of work release requests are granted.) Burress is unable to reapply until June 2011 when his sentence may be up for good behavior.
Although I would love to see Burress on the field for the NY Giants this season (we all know that the team needs him), it is nice to see the prison system treat a celebrity like the rest of the public. Aren't we all sick of hearing about the Lindsay Lohans and Paris Hiltons of the world who get special treatment in our prisons and never serve their full sentences? Yet, in Burress' case, it is tough to argue that he has not learned his lesson at this point, because just suffering through the embarrassment of shooting yourself is likely tough enough.
