The girls attending, who ranged from four to 18-years old, were invited to attend the event which was restricted to prisoners deemed minimum security, non-violent offenders.
The prisoners dressed in tuxes and performed a choreographed dance for the girls to The Temptations’ classic My Girl.
Federal Bureau of Prisons Director Charles E. Samuels Jr told the young women:
“You are a key to the success of your father.”
One inmate, Michael Rangel, told the Miami Herald:
“I haven’t been there for so many special moments. I talk to them and email them all the time, but it’s not the same as being there.”
Rangel’s daughter also told the paper:
“I wanted to dress up to look pretty for my daddy.”
According to the paper, the evening cost $600, which was apid through an inmate trust at no cost to the taxpayer.
The Miami dance was the first event held in a federal prison in the states.
