Its a fun watch but i also saw a video about why they do this. It's basically like the boss of the prison is untouchable because of his family position or something and he forces the inmates to practice each day, the conditions in the prison are horrible and if they don't perform whenever him and his guests want them to they get punished and stuff.

I don't see whats so bad. There are a hell of alot worse prisons around. The things that video list don't seem that bad at all compared to what they could be.
They don't get comfy beds: News Flash they're in prison
They're forced to practice their routine: They learn to dance keep fit, and get fresh air.
They get blisters from practicing so hard: you can get blisters from anything after a couple of weeks their skin will be toughened up to it...sounds less painful than some showertime activities.

I'm not saying that the conditions there are great but I've seen far worse things on TV about prisons. And if you watch the video, the inmates are all pretty good at their dancing (well fed, fit and healthy) and they'll come out of prison having learnt something that isn't going to wind them back up in jail.
If our prisons taught leasons like this one we'd probably have alot better reformed prisoners. Rather than ones that go to the EU courts complaining they don't have access to all the best TV shows. They're in prison for a reason.
