Inmates Make Rap Video Inside Atlanta Jail


Ok folks, now I can say that I have officially heard/seen it all!

Somehow a few East Atlanta inmates managed to brush up on their street cred & make a rap video while locked up inside the DeKalb County Jail!

This really happened.

The video “Thuggin Live from Dekalb County Jail” was shot to Future’s, “Where Ya At”. 

Join the discussion.


According to Channel 2 News, the investigation is underway after inmates posted a rap video shot inside the DeKalb County Jail.

Someone later posted the video called “Thuggin’ Live from DeKalb Jail” on YouTube.

DeKalb County Sheriff Jeffrey Mann says the inmates recorded the video from the jail’s video visitation system.

Mann told Atlanta’s Channel 2, Tom Jones he hopes they enjoyed their 15 minutes of fame.

“I don’t see any crime right here,” said Shy Cole after Jones showed him the video.

Jones also showed it to former corrections Officer Devontae Thomas who says the video is a serious security breach.

“They doing something they really not supposed to be doing,” Thomas said.

The 2 minute 27 second video shows the inmates wildly performing to a rap song. One man sprays some sort of liquid. Another takes off his shirt.

Then you see flames from an inmate’s lighter.

“That lighter can be used to light a fire. It can be used to create a diversion,” said former jail Lt. Kyle Jones.

He is currently running for DeKalb County Sheriff.

“At some point and time somebody’s eyes should have seen that and some action should have been taken,” said Jones.

Mann confirmed the video was shot inside his jail using the video visitation system.

The video visitation system allows callers to see one another without having to be in the jail.

He says the inmates will be disciplined and prohibited from using the system.

Jones wants to take it one step further.

“The system has to be overhauled to prevent this from happening,” Jones said.

Thomas said what’s even more disturbing is the video shows the inside of the jail.

“The layout of showing the building is just not a good thing,” Thomas said.

The sheriff says the system is only supposed to be used for people who have been registered and approved to use it.

Brazilian Woman Becomes Drug Cartel Boss After Sold Into Sex Slavery

Child prostitute. Brutal drug cartel leader. Cocaine addict. Popular author.

That’s the unlikely path taken by Brazilian woman Raquel Oliveira, a former cocaine boss in the Brazilian slum of Rocinha in Rio de Janeiro.

“If you ask anyone here if I was a bandida [drug dealer], they will say yes,” Oliveira, in her 50s, told Vice. “People still respect me.”

It wasn’t always that way: when Oliveira was just a child, her grandmother sold her to a gang member who forced her to work in a brothel, The Daily Mail reported.

Oliveira, who details these events in the new semi-autobiographical novel A Número Um, wouldn’t see freedom from that life until she turned 11.

That’s when the gang member gave her a gun, setting her down a violent path.

Oliveira told the Mail that she made her first kill when she was 15 when a man tried to rape her.

“To kill a man aged 15 meant nothing,” she told the Mail. “The guy wanted to rape me.”

According to Vice, Oliveira led the organization after the 1988 death of Ednaldo de Souza, the organization’s leader and her lover, during a shootout with police.

The news outlet reported that Oliveira soon became a cocaine addict, but became disenchanted with her murderous and addictive lifestyle — leading her to quit in the early 1990s and seek therapy.

This year, Oliveira published A Número Um, the first in a planned trilogy based on her experiences.

A Facebook page associated with Oliveira appears to show significant crowds showing up to book signings and readings.

“I don’t think I could have done anything better. There were no alternatives. I had nothing, I knew nothing,” Oliveira, a mother of three, told the Mail. “I’m even impressed with things I’m learning today that are things I should have known a long time ago.”
