Since beauty pageants like this are being held at prisons in several countries, why not a Universe Miss Penitentiary pageant?
Having been to Brazil a number of times, I am dead certain that most of the competing inmates were every bit as beautiful as the Miss Universe contestants.

With her exotic good looks and svelte figure, the winner of this beauty pageant looks to have the world at her feet as she accepts a bouquet and waves to her audience.
But while it is undoubtedly Raira Passion’s big moment, the day will end with her returning to her cell at the Women’s Prison of Brasilia.
Passion is one of nearly 100 female prisoners who entered the jail’s third annual Miss Penitentiary Pageant.
Out of 12 finalists selected by a modeling agency, Passion received the highest number of votes, earning her the right to wear the sash and crown - whilst under armed guard.
The prison hosts the yearly event because it believes it gives inmates goals, pride and steps towards improving their self-esteem.
Prison beauty pageants are becoming increasingly popular with competitions taking place in jails from South America to Russia and Lithuania.
