Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the former head of the International Monetary Fund, was released from jail on Rikers Island and taken to a downtown Manhattan residence, where he will be under 24-hour private armed guard.

“Inmate Dominique Strauss-Kahn has been discharged from the custody of the NYC Department of Correction to the custody of the security company, Stroz Friedberg,” Sharman Stein, a spokeswoman for the department, said yesterday in an e-mail. “Mr. Strauss-Kahn is no longer on Rikers Island.”
