Jailhouse Rock




From the DailyReel.com...The 1500+ inmates of Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Cebu City, Philippines, do a lot more than just languish in a cell. They have livelihood programs and personal savings accounts, allowing them to earn and save money for legal fees or the families they left behind. Perhaps even more impressive is what they do with the rest of their time: rehearse and perform elaborate parades and dance numbers, like the recreation of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" seen here.

LMAO!!

First off, was that a man in drag? ha!! Talk about rehabilitation

My baby sister's marching band did the Thriller routine and even though she wasn't even thought of when that album came out, it' one of her favorites of all time.

This is crazy. I guess it gives the inmates something to do. LOL. I love how they are all in sync. I wonder how long it took them to learn the routine? Or if there were fight over who got to play Micheal? I am imagining it was quite a coveted position. Heh.

Does anyone else find it disturbing that the jail encouraged the inmates to think as one and get along...I'm just waiting for the riot to start.
