Got a lil` documentary for y`all to check out by Troy Reed, he`s also done “The Larry Davis Story”, “Game Over” & “The Guy Fisher Story” to name a few. Anyway this doc` focuses on Rikers Island -- for those that aren`t from planet Earth, it`s known as New York City`s most notorious correctional facility. Troy exposes the viewers to some brutal inmate slashings, police corruption & everyday Life on 'The Island' during the late 1980's & early `90's...
This doc` includes interviews with former inmates & officers, what ya hear will definitely make ya want to stay up out of prison! Check out Pistol Pete`s interview (he put in somethin` like 17 years there) & Charlie Rock LD`s interview, he did 10 years. In an interview with AllHiPHoP.com (you can read it here) Troy explains how "Scarface 4 Life" came to be; "A former correction officer Lorenzo Steele presented me with these pictures of guys that got cut in Rikers Island & we decided we were going to do something"...
