A pair of inmates who filmed themselves dancing inside their cell and posted the clip to TikTok have had their phones seized after the footage went viral.
The inmates at Lithgow maximum security prison in New South Wales recorded the video on a contraband mobile phone.
Footage shows the two men wearing facemasks as they danced in sync to Drake’s Toosie Slide, which became popular on the TikTok app.

As they followed the steps in the tiny space in front of their bunk-beds, the two men ended the dance with thumbs up to the camera.
The video, which circulated on social media last week, was captioned with: ‘proud big sister they pulled it off’.
A NSW Corrective Services spokesman said authorities were investigating how the inmates had access to the mobile phones, which led to a raid of the cells.
‘Three mobile phones were located and seized as a result of the search,’ the spokesman told Daily Telegraph.
‘Inmates will face disciplinary action.’
