Atlanta - Georgia authorities are investigating how a group of inmates in an Atlanta jail were able to make a rap music video using prison equipment and then get it posted on social media.
The two-minute and 27 seconds video, called Thuggin’ Live from DeKalb Jail, was posted on YouTube on Saturday.
It shows a group of inmates dancing, with several taking off their shirts and waving contraband, DeKalb County Sheriff Jeffrey Mann said.
It shows inmates with a banned cigarette lighter.
The inmates used the prison’s video visitation system, which allows callers to see inmates while they talk remotely, Mann said.
It was posted online by a person who received the video call, he added.
Authorities were reviewing how the system is monitored to make sure this did not happen again, jail officials said.
