NEW YORK, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- Rapper Foxy Brown, who is serving a year in a New York prison for repeated probation violations, has written a letter begging a Manhattan judge to let her out.

Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, said she is worried for her safety after the batteries on her hearing aid failed during her stay at Rikers Island, the New York Daily News reported.

"I am terrified of not hearing a fire alarm go off, or being locked in a cell, and someone not being kind enough to let me out, since not everyone understands the severity of my condition," Marchand said in the four-page, hand-written letter to Judge Melissa Jackson, who sentenced her in September.

Marchand's attorney also filed papers in Manhattan Supreme Court requesting Marchand be let out in time for a Jan. 30 exam at the House Clinic in Los Angeles because there are few places that do cochlear implant adjustments and Marchand wants to properly repair her "progressively deteriorating hearing loss," the News said.

"Her condition is worsening in jail since she cannot obtain at Rikers the proper treatment," the lawyer said in the papers.
