Literary Reportage >>> Prison Rodeo
Literary Reportage
The Angola Prison Rodeo takes place at the Louisiana State Prison every April and October. Not only is it one of the last surviving prison rodeos in America, it's one of the biggest.

Prisoners earn on average 2 - 4 cents an hour while working prison jobs, but on rodeo day they can win up to $500 in two short minutes. All they need do is be the last person sat at a mock poker table, cards held high, while a 2000 pound bull charges through. Needless to say, there is rarely am empty chair in the 7500 capacity purpose built stadium.
