Jailhouse rock

A video of over 1,000 prisoners, clad in orange jumpsuits, gyrating in synch to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" has created a stir on the Internet. Canada.com.

"The Thriller sequence, complete with zombie moves, is the biggest hit, attracting over one million views since it was posted last wee on YouTube.

Byron Garcia, who oversees the jail and introduced the dance routines last year, loaded the videos onto the Web.

"I want the prison system to learn from this," Garcia told Reuters. "The inmates are after all human beings and the inmates after all, once inside, know that they have committed mistakes, let them enjoy their stay."
