Another Hot Felon Named “Prison Bae” Just Got A Modeling Contract Thanks To His Mug Shot And Heterochromia
Mekhi Alante Lucky is only 20-years-old and had been arrested a few times already. Last time it happened in April, 2016, for speeding in a stolen vehicle.
His mug shot went viral and caught the eye of Demanti O’Bryant, manager of Atlanta-based St. Claire Modeling. Since Mekhi managed to avoid jail time, he has signed a contract with the agency and started a new life.
His Instagram account has already over 25,000 followers.

Although it's be good if anyone can straighten their life out, it is a shame - this not being the first mugshot to fame in recent times - that a good honest guy out there with good looks can't get the same exposure. Do these modelling agencies trawl on line for criminal mugshots? If the guy has issues that have brought him to crime, is the high fashion world going to be any better a place for him?
There are lots of opportunities for a good honest guy out there, and very very few for someone with a criminal record. While I agree that crime shouldn't pay, I do worry that the prison system occasionally traps people into the very life we want them to get them out of. Things like this alleviate that somewhat, and if it works (of course it may not work) then one less criminal in the world improves the lives of more people than just that criminal.

I agree. This lifts him out of that bubble where he thinks he can only be one thing. Through this he will see so much more of the world and see broader opportunities.

Absolutely stunning! He seems a natural at modelling too. Hope it turns his life around.
For all the geniuses who keep commenting about his eyes being "swapped" in one photo - that's very clearly a selfie, and "selfie mode" flips the photo into a mirror image. With all the selfies people take these days, one would think this was common knowledge. Or do you people ONLY take selfies, and therefore not understand how a camera works otherwise? Sheesh.
Look thru all of the the one of him at home his blue eye is on the other side
Photo is probably flipped, or taken on "selfie mode" - which gives it a mirror image. You can't change DARK brown eyes to blue with a contact very easily, so it's much more likely the image that's different (not his eyes).

He cleaned up well. He is gorgeous. And to whomever said he looks like a jerk, look in a fashion magazine. They all look cold, aloof, even snide.
I think it's cool. What a way to get discovered. I bet he's an a*****e though. He looks like he thinks he's the s**t. I still think it's great that he got a contract though. He's a really good model!
Sorry but at least part of this is fake all of these pictures but 1 his right eye is blue and left is brown. The first picture on the 2nd page his right eye is brown and left is blue. If thse guys can truly change for the better then great this world needs that but not based on lies
Sorry but something on this is fake in the first picture on page 2 his blue eye changed sides. Every other picture his right eye is blue and left is brown that one the right is brown and left is blue. Its all hype. Would be great to see these guys change for the better but not based off lies
all black men get in the noteworthy line if you have light eyes or even just one. the rest of you forget it.
That's great he got a job. So that means that one less prisoner we have to pay for their 3 hots and a cot. I don't see what is so hot about this guy, so he has bi-colored eyes, that means 2 different colored eyes, so what. I can do that too give me 2 different colored contacts.
Bit annoying that he is almost being rewarded for his criminal behaviour but maybe he will straighten his life out
He's not being rewarded for his crimes - he's being rewarded for his looks.

Load More Replies...It looked like it was taken on a phone camera and lots of times phone cameras have the picture flipped. Like looking in a mirror.
Load More Replies...You'd rather have a life-ruining prison record than a modeling contract? I think we can agree to disagree on that.
