Hey there. This is really amazing to see. Im directing a documentary on The Escorts, a soul group that formed and recorded two hit albums in the 1970s while incarcerated in rahway prison. They actually inspired programs like the lifers group and the subsequent hip hop acts. Would love to chat more with you about your experience there filming this...

I still rock wit it 2021 . There's 2 versions of Short life as a gangsta, I got the one with the trumpet being played.

[@ernestocaro9802]

True, I prefer the video version

[@Moletastic69]

Hi Corbett Jones, your documentary sounds great. I think music has always been a way for people to deal with adverse conditions. We can chat, but I was really just an intern for Flashframe films for one day! I needed college credit. One thing I do remember is that the guards would take a polaroid photograph of everyone on the crew, all visitors, and tell you a number. When you left Rahway, you had to remember your number. I still remember my number; 16.

[@corbettjones611]

thanks for the reply. I sent you a PM but not sure if it made it through. Wanted to ask you a few more questions via email if possible. Would you mind sending me a note at [e-mail]?? Thanks!

[@Moletastic69]

sure, I'll email you right now
