Inmates dance to Michael Jackson’s “They Don’t Care About Us”

300 of these Filipino inmates are awaiting trial for murder and the others have been incarcerated for three years or less. Sure… why not make them famous. I understand that this formalized recreation has improved conditions in the prison ten-fold, but I am not sure I like the fame attached to it all. Still… the video is kind of amazing.

See more videos (oh, and there are a lot more videos) and explanations about how this all started on Byron Garcia’s You Tube channel.

  1. If only something could be done before they get to prison to make them productive members of society. Or am I being too optimistic? They should have had more responsibility, I guess. I hope they realize that they can be part of something greater than just themselves from the dancing. It should be so much more than just a dance.
