This is the moment a twerking dancer wiggles her booty to a dirty beat in a Brazilian prison after inmates reportedly hired her and another woman to perform for them to celebrate the festive period.

Three inmates have reportedly been transferred to other jails and an employee has been fired after footage of the illicit Christmas Eve prison party went viral.

The footage was filmed at the Public Prison of Goiana in the town of the same name in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco on Friday, 24th December.

The footage shows an attractive bare-legged young woman gyrating her hips to a ‘favela funk’ (a Brazilian hip hop style) beat.

The camera later pans to an MC rocking the mic and another young woman performing identical dance moves while inmates leer and cheer enthusiastically from the sidelines.

Another man, possibly an inmate, can also be seen in between the women trying to imitate their raunchy dance moves.

It is believed the inmates hired the MC and dancers, whose identities were unknown at the time of reporting, to perform for them at their illicit bash to commemorate the festive period.

However, the jailbirds at the prison, which houses 105 convicts, inadvertently incriminated themselves by filming the jamboree on their mobile phones.

A public sector worker was sacked from his job at the prison after the authorities identified him as one of those involved in organising the bash. His identity has not been divulged.

An inspection of the facility was said to have taken place yesterday so that any illicit materials could be seized.

The local police will reportedly look into the incident and determine whether any other employees were at fault.
