For every 16 hours of pedaling the inmates of the Santa Rita do Sapucaí prison have their sentences reduced by one day.

 

Perhaps they can tackle the TdF when they get out...

Classic! "Pollsmoor Cycling Institute" What a novel idea.

Eskom can do away with load shedding and Zuma would wanna keep them in prison and not give them a pardon. It's a win win situation :clap:

Flip, I'd get my sentence down by a day - every day. I'd half my sentence. And you'd be MOER fit when you get out.

And they will be good for the SSWC 2013 or 14 or 22 (Pending sentence period :) ) as they are riding SS bikes!
