It looks somehwhat peacefull in that prison, considering that they probably had to rehearse for the song as a group and get along , if i where to go to prison, this is my first choice.

Ian MacKinnon, south-east Asia correspondent
Friday July 27, 2007

It began as a fitness routine for old lags, but inmates in the Philippines have become a worldwide phenomenon and added a whole new dimension to jailhouse rock.

Hundreds of prisoners decked out in orange jail-issue jumpsuits are the latest stars of the internet with video clips of their routines going down a storm on YouTube.

More than 1.3 million viewers have downloaded the prisoners' performance of Michael Jackson's Thriller, one of nine clips posted on the video-sharing website.

Article continues
Another classic in the inmates' repertoire is Queen's Radio Gaga, with Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" slated as a forthcoming attraction at the Cebu detention centre.

The surprise internet hit is the result of an unusual programme designed to keep the inmates in shape and banish boredom as they await trial or serve out their sentences.

All 1,600 inmates - apart from the elderly and infirm - must take part. It started last year with marching to Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall and has grown to include a whole series of dance routines.

It was the brainchild Byron Garcia, a security consultant for Cebu's provincial government, who saw it as a way to improve inmate behaviour.

"Using music, you can involve the body and the mind," he said. "Inmates say to me: 'You've put my mind off revenge, foolishness or thinking how to escape'."

Mr Garcia posted the first clips on YouTube to share with colleagues in the penal service, but they quickly became popular around the globe.

Now the inmates find a huge source of pride in the dances and are always eager to know the YouTube viewing figures for their latest efforts.

The warden probably searches for the most ridiculous shit he can make them dance to, and then just cracks up at them all.

LOL hellrazor that is so true, my best friend is Filipino and when I go over to his house most of the time his grandparents are doing karaoke, pretty entertaining after a while it gets annoying.

About what the_hater222 said, I cant wait to see them do the "Ice Ice Baby" routine.
