I never been to the Angola rodeo, I am not really a rodeo type guy, but I know some people who can't wait for it.. I just don't get it..

Overall, I think it is a good thing for the prison. There are people who are in their for life because of a huge mistake they made when they were young. I'd share a story with everyone, but it would end up being another huge post by me, but at the same time, you have people in there who has nothing to lose. What is the risk for them, if they get caught raping someone? Continue to live in jail for the rest of their life?

With that said, while the rodeo might be a good time and it is all fun and games, they still have prisoners around. I am sure many of them are not the most mentally balanced. I would think a parent of a 13 year old, would be a little more protective of their child at a place like Angola. While there is security so the sharks don't get out of hand.. You still dealing with sharks, like anything else, if someone really wants to do something, they are going to find away around security and that's why you have to take your own precaution.
