Strippers put on a show for inmates in Puerto Rico prison . . . but had to make do with dancing on truck outside jail's fences

Prisoners caged within one Puerto Rico jail were treated to a Labour weekend surprise yesterday.



But rather than the prison perks they may have expected - longer hours outside or tastier food - the inmates enjoyed a show from scantily-clad strippers.



As the dancers were not allowed inside the prison, they performed for the inmates on a flat-bed truck parked just beyond the facility's fences.

Putting on a show: Three lingerie-clad strippers put on a performance for prisoners inside Puerto Rico's federal prison, the Metropolitan Detention Center, yesterday

A photo uploaded onto Reddit shows three women, who are wearing lingerie and high heels, gyrating and dancing provocatively on the back of the truck.

It is not clear what warranted the performance or whether the women were hired to entertain a particular inmate.



The internet user who uploaded the image speculated that the women had been hired for a man celebrating his birthday or bachelor party within the federal prison.



The snap also shows that the dancing trio distracted drivers, causing a build up of traffic on the public road outside the Metropolitan Detention Center, which is situated six miles west of San Juan.

One driver who witnessed the performance posted on Reddit: 'I drove by while it happened. Not what I expected to see that day...'



Officials at the federal prison refused to comment about the incident to the MailOnline.



Last year, it was reported that strippers were getting into prisons to entertain drug kingpins by posing as paralegals.
