Prisoners in the Phillipines do "Thriller"
According to AP, up to 1,500 prisoners participate in the exercise yard of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center, and their version of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" had been watched nearly 4.4 million times on YouTube as of Thursday.
Crisanto Nierre plays Michael Jackson's role in "Thriller." "Before the dancing, our problems were really heavy to bear. Dancing takes our minds away from our problems. Our bodies became more healthy. As for the judges, they may be impressed with us, seeing that we are being rehabilitated and this could help our case. We are being rehabilitated in a good way."
