Weekend Relapse: Thousands Of Prison Inmates Performing ‘Thriller’

By MATT STROUD

“[T]hese guys look dangerous.”

A little weekend fun — some added obituarial icing to glop onto your MJ death cake. I know this video is a couple years old (and renowned), but it seems oddly — even creepily — appropriate considering this blog’s stated purpose, and resurfaced grumblings regarding the King Of Pop’s odd inner-child.

If you’re curious about the prison depicted in this video, here’s more info on Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center. If I had my druthers, the prison’s name would forever be emboldened with a tagline: “Where terror takes the sound before you make it.” But I imagine that’s out of the question.

    About Me

    The Prison Dilemma is a collection of links and other stuff I stumble across while writing and reporting for the Innocence Institute of Point Park University -- an organization that investigates claims of wrongful conviction in Pennsylvania's State Correctional Institutions. If you have tips, thoughts, ideas, requests -- or if you know someone with a wrongful conviction claim -- contact me here:

    What I'm Up To

    About The Prison Dilemma

    The Prison Dilemma is about incarceration, justice, prisons, and prison reform. If you’re interested in any of these things, and your thirst for information isn’t fundamentally and in all ways quenched by the information you find here, I recommend that you explore volunteer opportunities with your local Innocence Project. If you’re like me and you live within 100 miles of Pittsburgh, PA, the Innocence Institute of Point Park University is your best option. That’s where I work.

    I also work as a staff writer with Trib Total Media.
