[ICYMI] US prisoners compete in unique Louisiana rodeo
An inmate competes in Bareback Horse Riding during the Angola Prison Rodeo.ANGOLA - At the sprawling Louisiana prison known as"Angola," inmates clad in black and white stripes go toe-to-toe with horses and bulls at a unique rodeo event now in its 57th year.
Like a typical fair, children in attendance can take a ride on a merry-go-round or trot around on a horse, but this outdoor area is surrounded by barb-wired fence and watchtowers. In addition to traditional rodeo fixtures such as bull riding, the Angola Rodeo also includes more daring challenges such as"Convict Poker" -- in which four inmates sit around a table with a wild bull set loose. The last man remaining seated wins.
In the competition, several inmates attempt to be the first to grab a poker chip that's been tied to the"meanest, toughest Brahma bull available."
