The Philippine Penal System Vacation: Free Song, Dance and Meals!

The only thing worse than dying while traveling abroad is getting thrown into some third-world jail--unless, that is, you happen to be in the Philippines.

If you break the law in this tropical paradise, you might find yourself incarcerated at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center. And, if you behave well while doing your time here, you may end up the star of the CPDRC talent show.

The above video features 1,500 inmates from this fine institution performing a little Michael Jackson dance number.

This, folks, is organize crime at its best. Can you imagine the damage these criminals would inflict on society if they were this organized and disciplined in the outside world?

Wow. Take a moment to check out this video; it almost makes you want to travel to the Philippines, commit some larceny, get locked up, and join the show. Almost.

Bonus points if you can spot the Prison B****!
