Prison Beauty Pageants

Beauty can be found anywhere in the world, but there is a growing business when it comes to beauty pageants behind bars.

More and more women's prisons are turning to beauty pageants as a way to boost morale. The pageants are mostly held in Latin America and Russia.

Pageants with names like Miss Prison and Miss Captive won't get you any time off for good behavior, but prison officials say they actually do reduce violence and get women to think about what they want to do when they get out.
