A team of Italian prisoners won the "World Cup 2010 Behind Bars" event yesterday at Bangkok's infamous Klong Prem prison, ahead of the FIFA World Cup final, being played early tomorrow Thailand time.
At the half-time break, former singer Worayos "Power Pat" Boonthongnoom, who is serving time for drug charges, per-formed a short concert.
Earlier, officials brought a guinea pig named Paula to pick which team would win (like octopus Paul in Germany). Paula chose Italy, they said.
Over a dozen teams, each with seven inmates from various countries imprisoned in Klong Prem, competed for the "World Cup 2010 Behind Bars" trophy from June 10.
