<p>An unauthorized rap video was being filmed Thursday night at the Fulton County Jail, the same night an inmate escaped for several hours.</p><p>Parts of a video for rapper Clifford Harris, whose stage name is T.I., were being filmed around the same time as the escape of Cara Williams, 23. Dressed in medical scrubs, Williams slipped out a door for employees.</p><p>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.</p><p>Fulton County Sheriff Jackie Barrett said she had no idea a rap video was being filmed inside her jail. Deputies apparently allowed "four or five" men up to the seventh floor with a hand-held camcorder, Barrett said.</p><p>They filmed Harris and other inmates, then left with the camcorder and video.</p><p>"I am very bothered about it. For the deputies involved, discipline will be meted out as quickly as we can," Barrett told reporters.</p><p>The rapper, who served time in the Fulton County Jail previously, is now in the nearby Cobb County Jail on a work release program, said Cobb County Chief Deputy Sheriff Lynda Coker.</p><p>He was checked into Cobb County's facility on March 31 on a probation violation stemming from a 1997 drug charge, Coker said. He was sentenced in April to one year.</p><p>Harris requested a leave from jail on Monday to film "an introduction to his show," Coker said, and he told Cobb County he would be shooting the film at the Fulton County Jail.</p><p>"We felt that the Fulton County Jail was not an inappropriate destination for him to be," Coker said on the request being approved. It was not immediately clear what the show was or what the film would be used for.</p><p>Harris reported back at the Cobb County Jail at 6 a.m. Friday, she said.</p><p>Harris' second album, "Trap Muzik," was a best-seller on the charts last year. The best-known song from that album, "Rubber Band Man," includes the lyric, "Call me trouble man/ always in trouble man." Harris' first album, "I'm Serious," was released in 2001.</p><p>An Atlantic Records spokesman for the rapper did not immediately return calls for comment.</p><p>Barrett insisted the video shoot didn't help Williams escape. Williams was being processed on a probation violation and was already wearing blue scrubs when she entered the jail.</p><p>"They were absolutely not related," Barrett said.</p><p>Acting on a tip, police recaptured Williams around 2 a.m.</p><p>Williams is the latest in a number of escapes and accidental releases from the jail _ her escape is the tenth such incident during the last 16 months. It also comes after a monitor released a report last week saying conditions at the jail were becoming increasingly dangerous and unhealthy because of overcrowding and inadequate security.</p><p>Fulton County Chairwoman Karen Handel, who has long been critical of Barrett, blasted the sheriff for not knowing a rap video was being filmed in the 3,200-inmate jail.</p><p>"You're going to have a video crew roaming around the jail? I don't understand why that was even remotely considered," Handel said. "I don't care whether she knew or didn't know. The buck stops with her, and this should've been an automatic 'No.'"</p><p>Barrett is not seeking re-election this fall.</p>
