Remember that Wedding Thriller Dance video I posted back in January? Well, here’s another one featuring over 1,500 Filipino prisoners. That’s right, every dancer is an inmate of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Cebu, Philippines. I wonder if making them do the dance was a punishment or a reward?

    Yes they are real inmates! I’m from the Philippines, the prison director asked them to do it as part of their daily exercise, it just shows that though they are inmates, they are still humans that can be disciplined.

    I saw it first here on Johnchow dot com and then recognised it when it was showed on
    TV prime time news too, here in France. The presentator said that it was seen 2,000,000+ times. That’s a viral social video. Web 2.0.

    They are all not bad. Some are jailed even if they are innocent. If you have the money, it’s hard to put you in jail. Cebu, Phils.

    i’m sure you haven’t read the full story

    it’s actually a pretty effective scheme in terms of improving the inmates behavior

    2 of the inmates have become dancers after getting out

    if you know it all, you’d agree that it’s pretty cool

    Looks like prison is a lot of fun!

    I mean aside from the daily anal rapings and dungeons…. and did you see that girl??? she was hot!

    Perhaps the Phillipines will be the new model of rehabilitation….

    Hmm not really something I would expect from inmates.

    Were they promised some kind of reward if they performed this dance?

    no, it’s compulsory to do the dance routine, and it’s had some good effect on the prisoners

    Filipino Inmates Need Music and Dance Too!

    This video of Filipino Inmates has been making its way around the internet. It’s their rendition of Michael Jackson’s Thriller video…

    Hey, who says that Filipino inmates can’t have their 15 minutes of YouTube fame?
