MOMBASA, Kenya — Film star Nicolas Cage has visited a Kenyan prison holding suspected Somali pirates awaiting trial to highlight the problem of piracy in the Indian Ocean.

Inmates danced for the movie star and shook his hand as he toured the Shimo La Tewa prison in the Kenyan coastal town of Mombasa. The prison has become a model for other jails in the country because of the reform work of its chief warden, Wanini Kireri.

At least he is doing some research before spouting off on the topic but, like all entertainers - stick to your day job!

Do you have some problem with him doing this? It is his time and his personal safety. he can do with it as he sees fit. I give him credit for doing something. Have you any plans to contribute any of your time or efforts in this matter or are you simply going to criticize others that choose to try to help?
