LIFERS GROUP “Living Proof” dropped 28 years ago. This group was made up of all men serving serving life sentences. Prior to this in the 70s they started the "Scared Straight" program. The group was started by Maxwell Melvins. “The group wanted to demythologize the romanticism of prison”(that was a quote from the LA times) This was probably one of the most important shoots I had the honor of capturing. I learned recently that Maxwell Melvin had been released in 2011 🦾#mikemillerphoto #LIFERSGROUP #maxwellmelvins #rahwayprison #disneyrecords #1993 #film #scaredstraight #hiphophistory #hiphop (at Rahway State Prison) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQs_GO8nRYPYpOUv58TmJvwarXtZVph5P-AuQ80/?utm_medium=tumblr

Spring cleaning find of the day. Lifers Group 1991: a Hip-Hop crew consisting of inmates serving time at Rahway State Prison in New Jersey. They were trying to deter our youth from a life that would land them in prison. #springcleaning #hiphop #cassette #LifersGroup #rap #prison #scaretactics #1991 #rare #music

Record 1760. #LifersGroup #BellyOfTheBeast #TheRealDeal #12inch Lifers Group were an early 90's Hip Hop crew made up of actual prisoners serving time in Rahway Prison New Jersey. Their stories told tales of how they ended up in the Belly of the Beast so that others could learn at the expense of their sorrows. I wonder how many of them are still in there. In the house of pain where you can go insane. #hiphop #rap #vinyl #records #nowspinning #vinyljunkie #hiphopvinyl #hiphopwax #vinylcollection #recordcollection #vinyligclub https://www.instagram.com/p/BsVP4FcASrp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=90b2gq9dg984
