Lil' Wayne taped a music video at the closed 108-year-old Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, which has become a popular backdrop for videos and movies.

About 30 teens showed up earlier this week for a glimpse of the 21-year-old rapper during taping for the song "Go DJ" from his album Tha Carter.

The Mansfield Reformatory Preservation Society charged Lil' Wayne about $2,000 for the use of the west cell block, which has five tiers and 250 cells. The group needs $10 million to $20 million to renovate the site, society administrator Ed Meehin said.

The prison was used in the filming of 1994's The Shawshank Redemption. Several years later, it appeared as a Russian prison in the movie Air Force One.

Two other films and a 2000 music video for the group Godsmack also were made at the prison. Besides regular tours of the site, the society offers a "Hollywood" tour where they point out movie props and sites where famous scenes were filmed.

The prison, which closed in 1990, was built as a reformatory.
