Indonesian Prison Karaoke Singing Contest 2022

Flashback to the Inmate Karaoke Extravaganza! On January 26th, the prison's activity center turned into a stage for our very own inmate karaoke singing showdown. Amidst the competitive vibes, the air buzzed with lively moves and infectious inmate melodies. Picture this: laughter echoing through the halls as each inmate belted out their chosen tunes, turning the competition into a musical spectacle. It wasn't just about winning; it was about the power of music to uplift.

Fourteen brave inmates took the spotlight, each leaving their unique mark. The top three even scored some cool prizes, turning the competition into a celebration. And because every tune deserves a tasty backdrop, we threw in an extra special treat – a western meal box for every inmate. Because who says you can't have a feast behind bars?
