I’m now very curious as to how something like this comes to exist:
Apparently, the CPDRC, (Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center) a prison in the Philippines, does this sort of thing a lot.
I found some articles online about the CPDRC, and the impression I get is this is part of the prison’s strategy to reduce the influence of gangs and drugs. Making them dance is supposed to keep them out of trouble, I guess.
I wonder how these things are organized. How much is left to the prisoners to plan and choreograph? Who decides who is going to play the Michael Jackson part? The administration? The other prisoners? Who picks the songs?
