THE UNSUNG STORY OF THE LEGENDARY ESCORTS

After cutting a hit record behind bars at an infamous, maximum-security prison a young man becomes a beacon of hope and a legend among inmates.

REGINALD PROPHET HAYNES spent his days singing in the stairwell, and his nights sticking up liquor stores. Charged with armed robbery, he plead guilty and was sent to Trenton State Prison to serve nineteen years - a sentence one year his senior. He knew his life was about to change but could not have fathomed the direction it took.

Two years later after being transferred to Rahway State Prison his fate would cross with that of renowned Motown producer George Kerr, setting the course for a record and history to be made.
