Former Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress has been denied work release by the state of New York. The development could keep him behind bars until at least next spring. The state Department of Correctional Services said the nature of his November 2008 crime merited turning down his request for a work furlough, which would have let him spend some portion of his time free and working.
