KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Inmates at the Lansing Correctional Facility are getting into the fashion business with a line of clothing called "Brak Outt."

Its creators say the clothing line is designed to change lives -- not get them out of the big house. Convicted felons who remain behind bars, including James Anderson and Kohler Jeffries, worked together to design and create the clothes.

With the help of former University of Kansas basketball star Alonzo Jamison, who is orchestrating things from outside the prison walls, the men have created a marketing campaign and even a music video to push their product.

Jamison said he was looking for a way to give back to the community when he decided to help the inmates.

1. i saw this on all hip hop.com

that's pretty slick. A good message from the inside. Prision is never glamorous. Being a convict or ex-con is not a badge of honor. Luckily, I'm lucky and smart enough not to get caught up behind gates, but a lot of friends of mine aren't.
