- Musician and songwriter Antony Ablan got to thinking about how crime suspects can spend years awaiting trial inside the Cook County Jail, and came up with an idea — a program, really, to help detainees learn a skill — that he thought might be met with eye rolls.
He floated it to officials anyway: Put a professional music recording studio inside the sprawling jail complex on Chicago’s Southwest Side.
The music teacher and frontman for a local band, Antony and the Tramps, said he found a receptive audience in Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, who runs the jail, and others.
“I thought it was a bit of a pipe dream to build a studio in a jail. And I start calling places and they say ‘sure,’” he laughed.
The only problem? There’s no money in the sheriff’s budget to do it.
Well thank goodness he won't be wasting taxpayer money on that. Unfortunately, there appear to be enough bleeding hearts to fund it, so Dart's jail guards will be listening to mix tapes and rap tunes and Big House Music (pun intended). So if you want to cut a tape to assist you in landing that big record contract, all you gotta do is rob a bank, beat a little old lady or maybe just grievously wound someone and you can be dropping tracks next month.
At least until all the equipment gets jacked or sticky from masturbating inmates.

Now they can have an open mic night to go with their pizzas!
“...everybody on the whole cell block, was dancing to the jailhouse rock...”
In the meantime,
at least three sheriff's deputies were recently attacked at Cermak Hospital.
But let's put officer safety ideas on the back burner to stupid bullshit like this.
I was in a band called “ The masturbating inmates “.
im sure someone will do a cover of Billy Idol "dancing with myself"
Just wait until they start a jail feud over a dis track!
Damn you SCC😂
On patrol in Hartford ct @ 0330 & almost wrecked my car when I read the last sentence , I was laughing so hard
Keep up the humorous repartee, it keeps me going
In order for a man to masturbate, he must get an erection. How the hell can a group of guys achieve this? I’m certain I could not stand in a crowd of ugly ( or handsome ) males , get a hard on, and rub one out. Just sick ,disgusting, low life, perverted scum. The worlds gone to crap. Nice jail.
Seems like an efficient use of space and resources to me. After all, most aspiring rappers can be found at county so this way they merely need the one studio instead of a bunch of local ones that just get shot up anyway. The jail's new role as the center of the Chicago rap scene will also give Tommy Boy an excuse to serve Hennessy, Cristal, and other fine beverages along with the pizza. There's no way that this can possibly go wrong!
I know the real reason Little Tommy wants that recording studio. He used to flirt around the bathhouse singing MY WAY. I'm sure he wants to cut a demo.
Now, Kees me you fool!!!!
What if they build a movie studio in the jail? It can be used to film porn starring the inmates. Thus solving the constant whacking off problem.
SCC> You wouldn't believe the problems Darts pizza delivery service is causing or actually you might. The inmates who get pizza either have money in account or act out and Darts staff attempts to bribe them (masturbators or those who attack staff). The poor inmates who don't act the fool get noting. So now its causing issues where the once behaved inmates are acting crazy to get the pizza. I only have one year left to retire and say goodbye to this insane asylum Dart created. THANK GOD>
The toupee wearing Sheriff is desperate for positive media coverage when even his pals in the press realize what a buffoon he is. He even botched Burr Oak Cemetery investigation, evident by the WGN report last night where Burr Oak is worse now than ever. Hell, we always thought that was the one thing he got right. This guy will go down as the most incompetent politician in Cook County history. Just wait until the merit Board debacle hits and taxpayers have to dig for another 150 million thanks to another blunder by Toupee Tommy.
Make sure to buy lots of extra microphones. Every time one of these aspiring stars
completes a track, he will add a little bit of drama by doing the obligatory "mic drop".
The Masturbaters & featured by Tom Dart
Just when you thought you heard every asinine program the sheriff comes up with, he outdoes himself with bullshit like this. When is this jag off up for re-election.
Yesterday's post about all the self gratification by inmates makes more sense today. With all the cutbacks in the jail, the only instruments that inmates can practice on is the skin flute. Others have taken up organ lessons.
Using codes to pass along information and instructions.
They are stealing the idea from Johnny Cash.
If they want to record in county lockup then they need to pay something. Maybe they got evicted from there studio and this was the only place they could think of that would let them record for free. The county should get a cut.
Wow, Pizza and open Mic night, followed by a nice circle jerk. Makes me want to go directly to jail ...
This asinine stuff is getting too CRAZY...take down the Chicago Flag and raise the WHITE ONE...
Seems like a great way to get recorded confessions of crimes.
Everyone needs to remember the Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of a jail.
Definition of jail
1 :a place of confinement for persons held in lawful custody; specifically :such a place under the jurisdiction of a local government (such as a county) for the confinement of persons awaiting trial or those convicted of minor crimes — compare prison
It's not "serves pizza" or "recoding studio" or any other reward or rehabilitation ideas. It's a jail. Nothing more. Treat the prisoners properly and fairly while in the jail. Those that don't follow jail regulations while there will remain in jail. It's not that difficult of a concept. Other jails across the United States seem to be able to successfully operate.
There was a punk band from L.A. called the Circle Jerks.
In light of recent articles about the jail, the public defenders and inmates should collaborate on a musical project and call their band....

Anything that isn't nailed down will be stolen or made into contraband. Not a good idea.
Will they be teaching music theory? Fundamentals ? Intro to music ? Or will it immediately be center stage for rap music and all the venom it spews.
Just axin
may I remind all the left wing bleeding hearts that
The Constitutional right does not put an exact number on the speedy trial right, but the Illinois Statute does. The Illinois statute states that a defendant in custody must be brought to trial within 120 days of the date they are taken into custody.(in custody) and 160 if out on bail unless the defendant requests a continuence
Sounds like the exploitation of black and minority musical talent for white privileged financial gain to me.
Now they can "beat off" to music. When did the nut take over the nut house? Lol!
Dart, I can't even take a shit with all these guys on my tier moaning as the rub one out.. and they offer me pizza with out washing their hands. Plus I was arrest when I did nuffin. I am gonna leave a bad yelp review of this place
Bring Rod Blago here to train them:
Jailhouse Rockers Try To Help Former Gov

Then we have cara she be the director, who is says that being kind to the animals err inmates makes them be better behaved! Then if any so called investigative reporters attempt to disparage tommy and his crew he immediately hires a family member at 6 figures+ to shut them up,then they go into "praise tommy" mode! What kind of insane thinking is this? The democrats are everything wrong with this corrupt city-county-state and country,no wonder they are doing everything to try and destroy President trump to keep taking the billions and ruining the USA! God bless the police!
On another note has the ballerina made any plans to repel the terrorists coming in here Saturday? The best case scenario is for police to take a "knee" that way the democrats will really like us seeing how we "keep it real!"
Please remember especially you young coppers your freedom-career-family-everything depends on you not engaging the savages coming here,rahm will give them "room to destroy" right?right! Only goal is to protect BLUE!
Hmm wait a minute will Leo use the ISP thug escort team who escorts the anti-American,anti-police,anti-military football teams and many more to bring the pos punks to locations safely?
True what next movie night with new movies? Maybe movies in a park-like setting for the inmates,free condoms and ky? then over here we have some happy great news:
ESPN Can’t Afford Monday Night Football Any More
https://www.outkickthecoverage.com/espn-cant-afford-monday-night-football/
Wonder why?:What’s a deteriorating business look like? In the month of October ESPN lost over 15,000 subscribers a day in October per the latest Nielson estimates.
15,000 a day!
Think about this 15,000 per day gone! Gee could disrespecting the police-flag-military and lying have anything to do about it! Looks like another "Make America great again" moment is back! This is fantastic and phenomenal soon football will go the way of the dinosaur and no one will miss it! Is Leo still escorting the busloads of these anti-American anti-police thugs taking that "knee" bullshit to the games? Still using scarce troopers and equipment with lights and sirens blaring moving people that pay the taxes out of the way disrupting their movements for thugalicious?
I know ISP says they pay a pittance for these services, but think about this only the President normally gets this treatment and heads of state, these clowns get the same? Why don't say doctors unite hey rahm call your doctor brother Barry buddy and have a bill passed so doctors who are needed to use this service to save lives! Bet business people would pay for this "express uber" service why not advertise on state squads with a number to call, wait a second do it on CPD squads also we could make some money and dedicate all of it to the underfunded police pension funds that would be "change we can believe in!"
Where's Winston Moore when you need him!
The inmates are running the jail just like the nfl
more salt peter on those pizzas.
Oh goody. Musical Instruments will be provided for the inmates.
Great idea Einstein, I wonder what a Guitar String will fetch in Maximin Security?
Note to future Assassins: Never use anything lighter than a Guitar's G String for your garrotes. The B and E strings are just too light of a gauge to hold up under pressure. If they do, they could slice the neck more than strangle.
And that gets messy -- ask OJ.
ps: I'm ashamed to see in that photo that this bonehead musician plays a Fender Stratocaster. Oh well, at least the moron knows what the best electric guitar is ;-)
I thought Obamas library was going to have a recording studio---but no books or presidential papers.
Trying to rehabilitate a bunch of uncivilized circle jerkers is a waste of time and resources.
This Sheriff's acceptance of the idea is more than enough proof.
J.J.
Liberals never cease to amaze with their stupidity. We have enough aspiring rap artists out there that are not sitting in jail. We don't need any more rapping about the same bullshit.
It's an elaborate way of denying that rap empowers them to commit crime in the first place.
They want to play with themselves.... not play an instrument👍🏻
Here comes another 10 directors on the payroll...
screw that idea. put in a Jonestown kool aid stand.
F! It! Cut'm all loose on the bracelet and close the jail!
Solved!
Tomas! Eat A D¡@£!
What's the over and under on how many new escapees this will generate?
Every track will be remixed with "Fuck The Police".....
What a wonderful Idea Dart, right?
Doncha love how these fools view COLLEGE and JAIL as like items?
Maybe they are more right about that than many people realize.
Education and reeducation, eh?
On Second thought.....pizza, jacking off, drugs, now music too? Hell just install taps hooked to a rotating beer truck and Cook County Jail will be the best Party Bus in the Greater Chicago Area!
THEN ya cold charge admission and they would PAY IT!
(Rahm considers revenues gained.....)
Just a thought. Lets just say an inmate does cut a demo and one day a record company pics it up. Who’s property is it? This is a perfect reason to remind victims to sue their attackers for any future revenue they may aquire. Wouldn’t it be awesome for a police officer to make millions from the rapper/inmates future career?!
What a great idea. Taking a bunch of violent, angry, entitled, people who think the world owes them a living and teaching them a "skill" that has a limited practical application in the outside world. One that promises riches, fame, and bling the likes of which even a camel commander could not offer. Once released, this will probably have a .01% chance of actually helping anyone get gainfully employed. So rather than looking for a real job (or preparing them for a real one) we will end up with thousands of "artists" who are just trying to get by until their music career takes off. Music that glorifies violence, gangs, thuggery and crimes. So what happens when they are not the next rap superstar? Most likely they will get by through criminal enterprises and becoming angrier and angrier as their career and dreams go nowhere. This is what is referred to as setting someone up for failure.
At least chain gangs properly prepared prison populations for work that they were qualified to do once released for those not taking advantage of educational programs.

more like “...everybody on the whole cell block, was jerkin' to the jailhouse rock...”
This city/county is officially fucked in the head.
And little does the public know the inmates can afford their own start up costs of recording as well. They spend month/years in county and put lawsuits in for everything and anything. Those law Liberians that hand off the paperwork must be getting some kind of cut in it. An entire tier puts in individualally for mold in the bathroom/shower area and one by one they get $500 or less added to their books. The sheriff doesn’t fiight these they just settle on a number. Comes out to less but still for eating, sleeping that isn’t a bad pay out. The amount of law suits they put in for and get paid for are ridiculous. It’s gotta be coming out of someone’s pockets...
reminds me of the movie Hustle & Flow
So plucking the one-string banjo isn't enough to bide time?
Not using the cells, heck let's put in two turntables and a microphone.
Nothing says lockdown like a Battle of the DJ's.
Bullshit it won't cost taxpayers a cent.
What CC budget will they tap to make some dat noise?
As PrickWanker and KimmJongFxx doubling up as talent scouts, who knows, the next Chauncé the Wrapper or a Stoop Dowg is lounging at Darts County Club waiting for a big break.
As a taxpayer, can the Jail just stick to the incarceration business and leave music and performing arts (or lack thereof) to Quincy Jones...when they get out.
> ... When I hear that Cook County tax bill singing, I hang my head and cry.
With them letting so many out because they can’’t afford the bond amount, who is left to be recording any music
Good idea... gather funds, donate time and effort to help teach music to fuckheads in county jail. Don’t donate money and time to give poor children access to these resources, makes perfect sense.
Well they have some real fine players of the skin flute.
That reminds me...
I was coaching in Omaha when Eddie Shore sends me some guy. Horrible masterbater! He would get deliberate penalties..and I'd be damned if he wouldn't
Gives a whole new meaning to singing
In the shower.
A recording studio! Imagine the possibilities... spirited sea shantys from the Anglo,Scotch and Irish inmates. The Italians will dazzle everyone with aria after aria. The Norwegians and Swedes will sing their noble epics and of course the Greeks will cast a reverent spell with their Kyrie Eleison. Truly a multi-cultural marvel. I'm not leaving anyone out am I?
Make sure you put a fully-stocked bar in there too, and maybe a stripper pole. Also, how 'bout removing the window bars . . . as they're such an eyesore.
"But I can't be released yet! I gots 4 mo album tracks to cut."
Talk about a captive audience.
No reading...No writing....rapping? Another reason why certain segments of society will always be behind.
What happened to stamping out license plates? Now the jackoff's can jerk off to music or what passes as music now days.
SAD
