Mills takes a cast of 14 of the world's most masculine men, including six TitanMen exclusives, and spins a vision of prison life reminiscent of a hardcore fetish version of the HBO series OZ.

Leading the cast as the corrupt guard running the prison, TitanMen exclusive Tony Buff turns in a performance that will shock and amaze! Powerhouse performer Diesel Washington as the wrongly imprisoned convict turns out some of the hardest and most aggressive fucking ever captured on film. TitanMen exclusive Rick van Sant is the corrupt attorney willing to trade freedom for a fist up his ass, and Alex Baresi as the prison mule smuggling contraband internally!

"We are very proud that Folsom Prison is the first gay adult film released simultaneously on standard DVD and Blu-ray™ HD," says director Brian Mills. "Folsom Prison is one of the finest hardcore fetish films we've ever made, and is the perfect genre for high definition. For the first time, fans of hardcore fetish will get to see the all the action up close and personal. With Blu-ray™ HD, you can see every single drop of sweat, piss and cum glistening on the hard muscular bodies of the performers. You feel like you could almost lick it off the screen!"

Folsom Prison is the fourth film in the co-branded TitanMen/Folsom line of hardcore leather/fetish films that have been designated the "Exclusive Leather/Fetish Films of the Folsom Street Fair". A portion of sales from these co-branded DVDs goes to the TitanMen/Folsom fund benefiting non-profit gay men's health organizations. Due to the overwhelming success of the films, Titan Media was able to contribute $25,000 to Folsom Street Events for 2007.

"TitanMen promotes fetish and leather play as safer and morally responsible alternatives to the growing trend of bareback within the gay adult entertainment industry," says Keith Webb, Vice President of Titan Media. "By portraying and eroticizing safer sexual alternatives, TitanMen hopes to lead by example. While other studios promote and sell bareback films that portray and eroticize high-risk unprotected anal sex, TitanMen will hold firm in its steadfast commitment to the community by portraying and promoting condom-only and safer sex in its films."

Folsom Prison-1080 High Definition Blu-Ray™ Directors Edit will be available online at www.TitanMen.com, on May 27th and released at wholesale on June 24th.
