GORONTALO: A group of Indonesian inmates celebrated their early release over coronavirus fears in a video that shows them dancing out of prison to a remixed version of music from Spongebob Squarepants. Swaying back and forth with smiles on their faces, dozens of inmates formed a makeshift dance line as they exited the Gorontalo Correction Facility on Sulawesi island last week. A remix of tunes from cartoon show Spongebob Squarepants and hip-swivelling traditional music known as dangdut plays in the background. The group were among more than 30,000 inmates recently granted early parole to prevent the spread of the deadly respiratory illness inside Indonesia´s overcrowded prisons, which are routinely criticised for their deplorable conditions. Corrections officials recorded the release of about 30 prisoners which was later uploaded to popular video-sharing app TikTok, where it went viral. “One of the inmates asked me to record it,” said prison official Muzkiratillah Mampa.
