Woman escapes from jail same night rap video filmed

An unauthorized rap video was being filmed last Thursday night at the Fulton County (Ga.) Jail, the same night an inmate escaped for several hours.
A video for jailed rapper Clifford Harris, whose stage name is T-I, was being filmed around the same time as the escape of Cara Williams, 23. Dressed in medical scrubs, Williams slipped out a door for employees.
Embarrassed jail officials said the video shoot was unauthorized and that it had nothing to do with Williams' escape. She was found six hours later at a gas station.
A spokesman for Fulton County Sheriff Jackie Barrett said she had no idea a rap video was being filmed inside her jail.
Lt. Clarence Huber said he didn't know how many people were in the jail filming the video, or who gave permission for the shoot to take place.
Harris had been in jail since April for violating probation for a 1998 drug conviction.
He recently released a second album, "Trap Muzik." A hit song from that album, "Rubber Band Man," includes the lyric, "Call me trouble man/ always in trouble man."
Huber insisted the video shoot didn't help Williams escape. She was being processed on a probation violation and was already wearing blue scrubs when she entered the jail.
The video "doesn't appear to have affected this," Huber said.
