A former inmate has been accused of
sneaking back into New York's notorious Rikers Island prison disguised as a
Department of Correction officer.
Yonkers resident Matthew Matagrano is charged with impersonating
an officer and officials claims he used a badge and ID card to get into Rikers
and roam the jail for at least a week.
The 36-year-old has a spate of convictions including sexual
abuse that means he is on New York State’s sex offender register.
