Have you seen this?

sOk so this is my kind of prison. Apparently, there is a jail in the Phillipines in which detainees learn and perform enormous dance numbers as a way to exercise and keep their mind off other things while they are incarcerated. The productions are huge - more than 900 inmates are involved in the routines - and though a small group of dancers makes up the core of the routine, every prisoner has a part and each one seems completely absorbed in the performance.

I'd love to explain it myself, but the quotes from this article I found are too priceless not to share.

"Hundreds of inmates at the prison in Cebu, Philippines, have taken to performing large-scale dance numbers to such classics as Michael Jackson's 'Thriller,' Queen's 'Radio Gaga' and several songs from the 'Sister Act' films to help pass the time while serving sentences or awaiting trial."

"If they say laughter is the best medicine, how much more for dancing?" (Tu che!)

"While the goal is to keep the body fit in order to keep the mind fit, such may not happen if it is done in a manner deemed unpleasurable," Garcia told Filipino's Sun Star publication. "Music, being the language of the soul, is added to that regimen."

"Filipino detainees try to make their life less difficult by engaging in such activities," said a Filipino police officer working in New York. "Music and dancing is so much a way of life in the Philippines, and Filipinos have this tendency to sing and dance their way out of even the most complicated situations."

"As a jail officer, I got worried when I saw it," Rubio told ABCNEWS.com. "I know that the Cebu Provincial Jail is undermanned like some of the city jails, and securing those vast numbers of inmates poses a big problem. Inmate dancing is not prohibited in our Operations Manual, but the one performed by Cebu Provincial inmates was a disaster in waiting."
