Those are some Smooth Criminals..

[@Ben-nu7qh]

+Kshitij Duraphe i hope not

[@TheFadedMalee7]

I can honestly say I am happy that inmates have ways to entertain themselves and have fun.

[@Smoothasbutta1]

Without a doubt...one of THEE best ones ever! Amazing and funny enough PROFESSIONAL...more! Dance to Rehabilitation Videos.

[@barneslx]

LOL, Bravo! they had it tight, not a flaw. This is hysterical!

[@doloresdsmith]

Came here because of the Netflix series “Happy Jail”. Loved this, outstanding job!

[@greenhorn0125]

ang galing mangisay nung mga nasa coffin! hahahah...gets me everytime!

[@madegg18]

woah! his moon walk was soooooo SMOOTH!!!!

[@boozhoojikewe]

You guys should ignore the haters. What you are doing with dance and cooperation is wonderful! and besides that...you are good! I have seen shows of all types and yours is good. And about doin', Drag is a valid style of theater. I have seen many drag shows and the entertainers have much talent as do all of you.I wish you all well in your futures. Keep dancing, it is good for the soul! :)

[@jmateo8]

man this was just great. THE PHILIPPINES IS PURELY AMAZING.

[@carolyngames7705]

Awesome dancing from the beginning to the end.

[@glasswings21]

[@BrigitteDishin]

MARAVILHOSO ! fiquei encantada ! :))

[@richdreamsnow]

I think its fantastic they are doing something productive !

[@babettegirl1993]

totally amazing thats all i can say just blows me away

[@EliiDulce]

Bravo mucha creatividad y es una buena inversion de tiempo buena forma de distraerse y de aprender de forma interactiva..

[@ellaundead101]

For some reason, I find it hilarious when they(the 'zombies') start spilling out of the little doors. XDDD

[@takumitsubaki922]

that one way to keep inmates entertained and busy

[@dennishayslip419]

music is the key to tapping into ones soul.

[@laurenrl84]

This is wonderful. "To dance is to live" Isadora Duncan

[@rfickel]

I watched this in 2022. Still looks cool!

[@greenhorn0125]

first!!! yes!!! lol...i've been a fan of the inmates since first sight! thanks for the upload and please keep them coming!

[@ashestoroses018]

^This person has obviously never been to a dance class before in his/her life. Dancing is actually a very effective boot-camp-esque thing to do to inmates. It promotes productivity, work ethic, good health, and...well...epic dance moves. (Which is totally something we need more of in society. Obviously)

[@hayimemaishtee]

Bravoo, what a good perfomance!!!

[@nataliesunday10]

nice naman...pinatutunayan lang nito na nilagay cla ni God sa jail para may matutunan cla at may mapatunayan sa lahat..God is so good...kahit na sa loob cla naging makulay at masaya cla doon kahit papaano..

[@lynessamarie]

This was a great use of time!!

[@idontseemtohavealife]

I agree, dance teachers are like drill instructors! and this is very constructive and it along with what you already said, it also promotes team work! And i'm sure that a lot of these people are here because they weren't so hot at dealing with others.

[@PrisonbreakSPNheroes]

Do these guys not kick ass at this or what? Excellent job they did.

[@angelaviolet]

Its excellent how people from all walks of life are into Michael Jackson and want to emulate him, very entertaining.

[@pur8warrior]

i agree with the stressful part but also it is fun its like singing with your body everything seems to stand still as u dance

[@dt129]

dope choreography. REST IN PEACE MJ!!

[@mangledinal]

OMG, how many men are in this prison? Look how MANY earned 3 years of good behavior here. Thank you for uploading this video.

[@B-GURL88]

The dancers are really good.... but the person who choreographed it did an excellent job..... I mean to have that many people in sync and on Q is absolutely great.

[@marysunshine8371]

great female imitation ...........go gal ;-)

[@ButtonzKing]

The prison, a 1600-inmate facility,[1] became well known for its rehabilitation program in 2005-2010 based on a program of choreographed exercise routines for the inmates. Known as CPDRC Dancing Inmates, the recordings of the various routines of the prisoners online supervised by the head of the prison Byron F. Garcia rendered them an international online celebrity sensation and phenomenon.

[@mihoskie]

im proud that im a filipino :) like them nice !!

[@TORRESBUEHL]

Very good tribute to their idol!....Remy

[@joelchummel]

2:25 Oh look! They're doing the Thorazine shuffle!

[@blair902101]

OMG!I LOVED THIS TRIBUTE!

[@KalElKentPhoto]

I think that it's a great form of rehabilitation for them. And dancing at this level IS hard work. I took ballet lessons when I was in my late teens to help me with my martial arts classes. And it certainly did help. And my ballet teacher was every bit as strict as my martial arts instructor. I'd like to see the # of repeat offenders at this prison, compared to one in the U.S. of the same size.

[@MandyLovesRock]

LMAOOO omg if i ever went to prison, i would pray and beg that i could be sent here so i could dance with them :D RIP MJ- King of Pop. He will always be remmebered as the amazing singer and dancer that broke down the colour barrier for blacks.

[@KaiserSoze679]

While I don't disagree that it's hard and stressful, as somebody who's dated a serious dancer for almost 2 years, you can tell that for people who have the passion (which is pretty much the only people who do it, outside of a prison scenario) they do it BECAUSE they have fun with it. Maybe not every second, but overall they do, so you can't just write it off as never being fun.

[@itsmeivan]

@Jaimeclown Brilliant discourse! Your parents must be proud!

[@Kihmo]

This was great. As for people who "dislike" Micheal... doesnt matter what you say, he made amazing music and before he was accused of whatever you loved his music and who he was. People just follow others when something goes bad and dont know the truth cause they cant make up their own minds. People who always on his side are his true fans. not some follow the leader idiot. So with that said. R.I.P. Micheal, We will always be listening to your music for generations to come.

[@darrellsadler215]

This is AWESOME!

[@saralhandley]

This is from wiki about the prision.....CPDRC Dancing Inmates or the CPDRC dancers is a collective of prison inmates in Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC), a maximum security prison in Cebu, in Cebu Province, Philippines where the prisoners perform dance routines as part of their daily exercise and rehabilitation, and many of their performances are filmed and released online, making them a popular feature among fans and veritable online celebrities.

[@idontseemtohavealife]

These guys earned it. to be allowed to dance they have to have at least 3 years of good behavior in the prison to participate. and this takes a lot of hard work, team work, diligence, and they get to do something constructive with their time and have something in the end to be proud of. I bet they've never gotten that in their life which is why they turned out they way they are. prison should fix people, not brutally punish them so that when they're released they do something worse.

[@armstrongbuttonsging]

Haha nice, this is what we need in America some activities that unite inmates

[@ichigoism12]

Dude, this is what I think would happen if zombies would start invading... LOL!

[@saralhandley]

pt2..Byron F. Garcia, the official security advisor to the Cebu government, is credited for starting a program of choreographed exercise routines for the inmates. He was appointed head of the prison by his sister Gwendolyn Garcia, governor of Cebu Province.[1][2] The prison is best known for its rendition of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video.[3] The prison management has also released a video explaining the concept behind the prison management at CPDRC

[@lokishadownerd]

its nice that SOME prisons give the inmates something to do besides stare at the walls of their cells

[@waterbabylove]

this was amazing

[@OoLooAdventureTime]

Mom: Honey, are you okay? What did they do to you? Released Inmate: It was horrible mom. Just...just awful. Mom: What happened? Did they hurt you? Released Inmate: Worse. Mom: Well what did they do? Released Inmate: They...they made me dance

[@348449sierra]

Everytime i hear the song "Thriller" i think of the movie "13 going on 30" lol

[@mcLominero]

Hell they are having more fun Inside than i'm having Outside :(

[@premoroza]

You miss the point.. There are many reason we put them to bars 1.) So that they cannot "harm" anyone - But that doesn't include fellow inmates / 2.) So that they learn from their mistakes and realize it / 3.) That prison is also called rehabilitation center - Why not make a peaceful effort to change a person even though they had done mistakes before. It is called recreational activity - We don't want our prisoners or convicts recreational activity to be a gang war "Killing Each Other".

[@1gh5]

if they make that show i would soooo watch it!!!!

[@SuperGameGenie]

the one in the orange suit was my favorite

[@lakielotz]

Excellent 100% awesome!!!

[@maribonmv1955]

So who's the woman? The warden's daughter?! Seriously, great job and I agree, better they be rehearsing and learning a dance than some other nasty things that go in prisons. Bravo gentlemen!

[@taylorswiftfanmay]

deja vu, this feels like "Victorious: Locked Up" all over again

[@planetrockford]

Best zombies I have ever seen.

[@gypsy4191]

I think these are a great idea and should be implemented in the western prisons...

[@aldeeoink]

wow, moonwalk in a stone floor, the floor is not smooth but moonwalk is so smooth!!

[@ZeoCobra]

Paying their dept to society one dance number at a time.

[@KitKatCato]

The zombie apocalypse has started... CPDRC is just quarantining them.

[@Synysterdevil]

This reminds me of Lets Go To Prison when the main guy is organizing a dance, he should have totally done this one

[@bulgin18]

Thats a good way to pass time xD

[@datbabymagic]

the p on the back of their shirts stands for prozac...thats why they are all dancing and happy

[@InuyashaBAAKA]

That dude can moonwalk like a badass.

[@MikeNelson216]

the guy wearing the letter p was the best

[@MrJeanWilson]

prisons zombies such a good name for a movie :)

[@taylorsgirl248]

Thank you guys. keep it up! lol

[@Scuzy97]

Those are some smooth criminals. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH.

[@sineadasurus]

This is a really cool prison! Full of dancing!

[@Hnewton1988]

their having a lot of fun for some solitary confinement lol

[@jxaurora]

2:04 the greatest escape vehicle

[@2012Germandougie]

Yes, dancing inmates are more fun in the Philippines. :D

[@Cup2myCak3]

if i were to ever go to prison, its this one!

[@basbeest]

but nobody knew that this was just a ruse for 2 lucky prisoners... thriller 2... the thrill of a lifetime

[@WalnutPencil]

@MaybeBitterBlue Cause they're Filipino and all have similar hair color. They all have kind of the same build, too.

[@djsinai]

Before you criticize this program, read the Wikipedia discription of Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center and why they do what they do.

[@Courier_S1X]

at 2:37 i want one of the inmates to shout "yeh i got the fence open lets go!"

[@thelittlemind]

that awkward moment when one of them is a real zombie

[@LukeSWErrthing]

Dude, obviously you've never even danced before and you're ignorant of how things work in prison. Dancing is not fun when it's at that level, it's tough, it's hard work, it's determination and it's teamwork... stress levels far beyond any other discipline except martial arts and gymnastics. What they're doing is pro-level choreography, not some fun disco. THIS is a mark of honor and of someone who can work well with others, not "entertainment". READ and LEARN before you start typing comments.

[@crismcastillo35]

Me parece excelente que ocupen su tiempo así y no molestando a la ciudadanía como pasa ak en mi paiz

[@khadi3]

That was amazingg!!! =D

[@TypeOneg]

I LOVE THIS!!!!!

[@TimothyRobert93]

I wanna go to prison now, please arrest me. never thought I'd say that

[@tommytrillfiger5302]

Wow,I didn't know people in jail could dance,but I guess that makes time fly

[@AmethystiaBloodraven]

@donalham No... they're Phillipino. CPDRC = Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center.

[@IIJacksonMichael]

You would think that in a maximum security prison that there would be more guards

[@TamakiSouh210]

i like the orange one! :)

[@Gangs3250]

I think it's awesome... much hard deserved honors...

[@itdoesntmatter56789]

Hey a Scooter. Do a search and find out where this prison is. If you pay taxes..which is highly unlikely...the .30 cents you pay towards prisons in the U.S. does not include prisons in a foreign country.

[@millseynick]

I sure as hell wouldnt walk through them!

[@PoisonedUnicorn]

This is amaizing, its so cool!!! :D

[@pugakattugak]

they might have committed at one point in their lives but you, as someone who is free, should not judge those who have been serving their lives inside the confines of this four walled prison. I am honestly glad that they could still do something worthwhile in their lives. Before you say those things, try to put yourself on their shoes, let's see what you will feel if you're in their places.

[@DiscoFrisc0]

I always knew zombies looked better in orange.

[@pinkeyegasms]

this is freedom for people who have nothing to look forward to ... it makes their time fly ... shhhh don't tell the warden

[@88killswitch88]

nice moves.. im proud of them..
