Inmates of Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center Dance to Sister Act





Inmates of Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilition have already become internet famous due to their rendition of Thriller. And they are very skilled at choreography. One only has to wonder about the greater purpose of these dances. This is better than Broadway, I believe! Perhaps the Phillipine government believes dancing can exorcise people's criminal tendencies.

Well, there is a slough of YouTube videos devoted to these inmates' dancing. This rendition of Sister Act is so peaceful and delicate. They're almost like gentle butterflies. And the guy in the nun outfit seems so spiritual.

But it's not all about gentleness. This is a Whoopi Goldberg musical, damn it! That means when the time comes, it is time to get down. These prisoners got the soul to get their bodies moving.

Someone's got to give these guys their own TV show. Or, at the very least, donate set pieces.

I love it.

kinda looks like a Ted Haggart nightmare..

"OH GOD! the PEACE ACTIVISTS ARE COMING!!" oooh, but the choreography is FABULOUS!

oh that's right, he's "cured of what ails him"...

just say'n...
~~~~~~

but seriously: they could have, & were CLOSE to rioting from their housing & crowding conditions...

but they got smart: they knew how to GET PUBLICITY...

& the Warden got what he wanted: better conditions & less dangerously angry prisoners.

Spread Love...
... but wear the Glove!
