A group of inmates could face punishment after recording a rap video that was eventually uploaded to YouTube. The video was filmed in the DeKalb County Jail near Atlanta and uploaded to YouTube on Oct. 24.
In the video, inmates dance and rap along to Future’s “Where Ya At?” They take off their shirts and one inmate pulls out a lighter, and strikes a flame. Correctional officers can’t be seen in the two-minute video.
The video was recorded on the visitation device that allows inmates to speak with others remotely. Inmates have since been banned from using the device. The inmates involved could also face more punishment.
In South Carolina, several inmates recently received over 20 years of solitary confinement for recording a rap video in the jail. Another prisoner in South Carolina received over 30 years for creating a Facebook account.
