Background

Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC) is a jail facility in Cebu, in Cebu Province, Philippines. It is a maximum-security prison with a capacity for 1,600 inmates. The prison 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 made them online celebrity sensations.
