The rapper, born Shawntae Harris, reportedly got permission to throw the event - labeled Showtime at Alto - after brainstorming ideas that would allow inmates to discover their talents and possibly cultivate them during their sentences.

Brat colleague and friend DJ Nabs will handle music duties, according to the Web site. Should the effort prove successful, Brat plans to push for prison authorities to make the showcase an annual event.

The Chicago-born rapper is in the second year of her sentence for attacking an Atlanta Falcons cheerleader in 2007.
