But when the prison dance video and creative photos came out in 2007, they became an instant hit, and many people and other prison directors were scratching their heads in bewilderment, wondering how Garcia achieved such results in his prisoners dancing Experiment.

Participants in the Philippine version of the show «Celebrity Big Brother» personally came to Cebu dancing inmates to share their skills and experience with this interesting project.

Jeremy Bentham made a circular prison in 1785 where the public could watch the imprisoned; moreover, inmates themselves were unaware of the fact that they were being watched. In the twenty-first century that function was perfectly replaced by You Tube. Some experts have criticized this Cebu dancing inmates method of recovery, while workers of Philippine prison claim that it is an ideal way to encourage prisoners to perfect both physically and morally.
