This facility is going to be on national TV. All day there has been a film crew here for the show CHASE, that is on NBC. None of the filming, that I know of, was done inside the unit, but they used our rec yard and truck dock. Most of the afternoon a helicopter was doing stunts and what looked like an escape scene on the rec yard.
This isn't the first time filming has been done here. The movie Bottle Rocket was partially filmed here in the 90's. And I'm sure the inmates were inconvenienced back then, too. School was canceled and everything shut down except the kitchen. They made special food for dome of the crew, which there were more of than I imagined was necessary.
Their trucks were parked side-by-side, were at least 100 feet wide and they seemed to move like ants, always moving things around. What was funny to watch were the sergeants of the prison trying to help but just getting in the way. I hope they were humbled a little.
