Michael Jackson's This Is It - They Don't Care About Us - Dancing Inmates HD

Filipino, Philippines "Dancing Inmates" from Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC), a maximum security prison, were treated to a visit by Michael Jacksons long-time choreographer Travis Payne and dancers Daniel Celebre and Dres Reid to learn performances from THIS IS IT.

[@jacluv7862]

The guy in the front is Travis Payne, MJ's Choreographer. So this is awesome the inmates are dancing w/ him.

[@micfail2]

You can certainly tell that he and the two guys behind him are pros. I love this video, but I am uncomfortable with the fact that inmates were used...it seems very likely that they were "convinced" to take part by unethical means.......in other words, it seems like they were essentially used as slave labor to make this epic video. I hope I'm wrong.

[@jenpiccirillo7312]

1. they were sentenced to prison not death and they are still human beings. 2. you dont know what they are in for. obviously the warden and guards felt they earned the privilege of participating in the program 3. privileges and programs help the prison keep control of the prisoners. If they have nothing to work toward earning that's when riots and behavior problems crop up. someone with absolutely nothing to lose has no leverage to hold onto.

[@henrymerrilees9066]

Kind of messed up when many of these prisoners have said they did this at threat of violence.

[@jenpiccirillo7312]

Except that if violence is threatened into doing it imagine the violence for saying something like that. I doubt they would be allowed to speak out about if it were true.

First I was like this is neat. Then as the started the words "They don't care about us" it gave me chills. In most countries prisoners live in poor conditions and do not have their health issues properly addressed. This is a well made statement on how we treat one another.

[@janeyre49]

A nurse who worked in a man’s prison told us that prison is man’s welfare while having babies is women’s. I am sure that is much too simplistic but she got tired of men committing crimes for health care and to be taken care of. Depending on their particular crimes they didn’t care very much for whom they hurt as well as their own families.

[@billsullivan1199]

Wow, this is amazing. I mean they are prisoners so they struggled with following the societal norms set for all people, but clearly they have capacity to follow some guidelines and work together for a common goal. What I love most about this is that in spite of their behavior and consequences, someone found a way to provide an opportunity for dignity and self worth. They should be applauded for their efforts here.

@APPLIANCE me yes I would believe it...and furthermore..I honestly do not believe he is dead..too many inconsistencies...and if he is dead..His spirit still lives on but his legend is still being tarnished...If he is alive, he is enjoying it more as he should have been able to do. 💜

[@robbievee4829]

@Mondo Duke He is referring to the old man in MJs video called Ghosts. Have you seen it? There are a couple of videos where MJ has surfaced as an old man. He did a few videos to SHOW he dressed up as an old man, just to go outside and take a walk, go to the beach and no one realized it was him! That being said, in people's hearts He is still alive! Always and will be never forgotten..Conspiracy theorists believe he death was a hoax..If he is still alive, may he enjoy LIFE now and be free to go wherever he desires without a bunch of security...If he isn't..May he rest in Peace..One day, because his name is still be tarnished to this day💜

[@YYC403NOYP]

The three foreigners at the front were from the US. The inmates' THRILLER dance video went viral, and MJ's choreographer, the one at the front and center saw the video, and decided to flew to the Philippines with his other 2 dancer friends to shoot a music video in honor of MJ. The regular dance routines that the inmates were doing was instituted by the prison director as a form of therapy and were uploaded on KZbin. Reports were made that clashes in the correctional slowly went down and have become almost non existent.

[@Outspoken.Humanist]

I have never seen this before and it blew me away. I felt like crying at one point. It is tempting to think of max sec prison inmates as scum and impossible to rehabilitate but it took dedication and patience to learn this routine and it must have given them a sense of pride.

[@enelmartodoesfelicidad]

The fact that they are good dancers does not make them better people. they committed a crime they must be paying not dancing. I have 6 months without dancing and I work every day and I am a good person. someone is proud of me ?? I could learn a rutine if i had they free time also

[@Outspoken.Humanist]

@@enelmartodoesfelicidad I totally agree. Dancing does not make them better people, nor does it mean they shouldn't pay for what they did. I did not suggest otherwise. But prison rarely rehabilitates people. It is more likely to lead people to more crime by associating with other criminals and making life hard after release. It can only be hoped that some of those dancers had a sense of pride that helped them to change. In your case. You claim you are a good person but you are in prison. I don't know you so have to believe what you say. if there is no-one who is proud of you, perhaps you can be resolved not to commit crime in future and be proud of yourself. Ultimately, we must all live up to our own standards and expectations, not those of others. I wish you well with the rest of your sentence. I hope it goes quickly, safely and easily and that, after release, you do nothing to take you back inside and that your life goes better than before. If you want someone to communicate with, perhaps a different perspective on things, or just a new voice, feel free to write again. i will answer you. Good luck

Just watched their story on SBS and how this came about. Absolutely brilliant. 70% are murderers and rapists who'd had no hope of rehabilitation. The prison was a violent gang riddled world with corrupt guards, plenty of drugs etc. To go from that to this....outstanding.

[@JennRighter]

People should be rehabilitated when possible, not shut away. This gives prison a purpose. I’m sure many of these men had no idea they could dance. Instead of spending every day wasting away, learning this dance and routine gives some sort of meaning to what is otherwise a terrible existence, the life of a prisoner.
