- Angola State Prison in Louisiana has been called one of the most notorious maximum security prisons in the country. Lee Cowan finds that for some inmates, a break in the monotony of doing hard time comes from performing in a prison rodeo.
If J.B. Mauney ever commits a crime you know this warden is going to turn into the warden from the longest yard 😂
I'd pay to see that movie
Look up the history of this rodeo and watch the movie Cadillac Jack Favor with Clint Black in it
Yeah
He gonna be the most popular rodeo criminal
I’m dead 😂😂😂
6:24 did that guy just suplex that bull 😂😂😂😂😂
Ramiro Rico That is a steer, not a bull.
Ramiro Rico that’s a steer and it’s called bulldogging
Yes, Yes it seems so.
@@spencerott2481 chute dogging bulldogging is from a horse
If you watch videos on people actually doing it that’s not how it’s supposed to be done really
I worked with inmates rebuilding over grown parks. They were the best workers I ever had working for me. They learned skills, teamwork, respect and were able to get work after their sentence.
"we want nobody hurt just a good time"
throws prisoners to the animals and laughs
oh yeah the poor child rapists and murders. better than getting raped in your cell
@@Aqua.man045 What do drug offenders deserve?
What do you care?? The prisoners love it and get to have an awesome day. They don’t force any of them. They all want to go do it! So shut up.
@@mizzouranger134 It´s just absolute hilarious how bad prisoner a treated in the US and i would be against extraditing any of our citizens to you as i don´t think there basic human rights should be violated even when they are criminals.
While this situation is just ridiculous as for this people this is the only possibility to get at least a little bit money in a not prohibited way while there prison "jobs" are so badly payed it´s a simple joke and get´s them less in a month than MC Donald's would pay in a day.
Sure this is a rather funny part of the US prison system and not even a massive issue but the situation is still rather messed up and has also has somewhat of a Colosseum flair to it.
While i also heard prisoners say they simply won´t get enough to eat while the quality is so bad you hear also about insects in the food also need money to buy overpriced food in the prison shop.
Besides the most important thing is that the US prison system seems just to be on of the worst working inside the western world when you look at any stats. From having like 10 times the drug deaths per person then we in Germany to insane differences in rehabilitation rates and general prison population per person. Whit a far more human system we pay less for as we for example rather threat than punish drug addiction hoping somehow they will get more socially integrated when you pay them to let them be attacked by a bull.
It´s sure some great entertainment but i don´t get how people are rehabilitated, maybe when you cripple them for live so they can´t commit any crimes but that´s just a bit medieval.
NO one threw them to the animals. They threw these innocent animals over to murderers and rapist to let them take their hostilities out on innocent animals.
Cannot believe this is real. Disgusting for State of Louisiana to treat people like this.
dude it’s prison
To all the people commenting "Poor Animals" I say this... These Bulls, Horses, Calves, and whatever else they use for this show, are some of the most Spoiled animals in the country. They get to live in animal luxury and only work for about 10 seconds or less, then go back to being spoiled. Oh no, they have to support the weight of a 200 lb person on their back... Guess what, They're a 2500 pound animal. They probably barely feel a difference. Grow up a little and realize that animals in captivity like this, are the owner's livelihoods and therefore are not going to abuse them.
BassFishin243 so true
BassFishin243 preach🙏🏻
100% correct. This is coming from a kid who grew up on a steer ranch. You could not have been more accurate. 👌
BassFishin243 you are so naive.. these animals are whiped, smacked, kicked anything to abuse them. Why? Horses do NOT respond to anything like that but only if there in INTENCE pain
Good joke city boy i rode and owned horses all my life and i am now 28and have never not once abused my horses or like rodeos before you comment stuff you don’t know about study it stupid
I had actually really enjoyed this report, but one part made me mad. And I am honestly confused why Sunday Morning would allow such ignorance because this seems to be a fairly pleasant program. The warden is quoted saying "corrections means correcting his deviant behavior...not torture and torment." As someone who is majoring in criminal justice and pursuing a career in the field I understand this fully. That these people did do something bad worth punishable, but doesn't mean they are bad people. Yeah some probably are, and most likely all of them deserve to be there. But just because they're prisoners doesn't mean they aren't people, don't enjoy human interaction, and that's where a comment from a lady at 5:50 really offended me. She says "Have somebody actually talk to them as if they're human again" and then she smiles about it like she thought that was a great thing to say. As if they're actually human again. Wow. The ignorance of some people blows me away, and I just couldn't believe I heard that on this program, because I feel like that one comment ruined the whole story.
+jonah snyder was thinking the exact same thing
no-one deserve this modern day slavery
jonah snyder
So, let's get this straight. You' made it to college and you can't understand what she meant? Well, good luck with that....
fomoco300k quit being an idiot john doe
I do believe that our criminal justice system has serious issues and that most of it should be done away with in its current form. That said, I can’t help but feel like you’re choosing to be offended by this comment which was OBVIOUSLY not meant in the literal sense. Maybe not the right major for you if you’re offended by an innocent comment made by an ignorant person.
Your Honor Season 2 episode 1 brought me here….. I had to see if this is real myself……😂😂😂😂😂
Me too, I was criticizing the series until I made a short investigation! This is so bizarre !
Nobody gets hurt go back in the video a bull sends a guy flying am all like BRUH
Original MMP man if the clown never save me i would be dead by now
The dude said he doesn't WANT people to get hurt hahahah so in a way he isn't lying
1:13 though it was like a doll
“3:36” rodeo training. I don’t think you train for playing cowboy poker 😂
Well, at least the interviewer was impartial enough to not skew the story with his opinion😐
Nice sarcasm, you know the New York boy was triggered and didn't let his wife sleep with another man for a few days!
I was annoyed by that hahah.
Journalists should try and report stories that give a complete picture. He did a good job. If you don't appreciate how free journalism works, then that's really your personal problem.
1:15 It’s amazing how high that prisoner went from that bull!
dont u think he is hurt after that fall??
@@SAJ.GAMING right!?!?!
It is
This is disgusting
Other prisoners wish to have this freedom don't criticize please
People who have committed no crimes wish to have this freedom.
Melania MoneyPenny I haven’t committed any crimes but I have this freedom
@@silverkitty2503 Freedom to abuse animals? NO ONE should have that freedom.
Jenny clark how is it abusing animals
@@beastm0de51 using them for entertainment, but, your not really hurting them so it's not abusive. But I still find using animals for entertainment is kinda sad, but hey I can't change that.
born and raised in mcalester ok one of the most famous prison rodeos in the nation and all the prisoner's are in fact volunteers, they are not forced.
Mental illness is a helluva drug.
It’s not even mental illness. To ask any incarcerated person to do anything like this is being forced. If a toddler says yes to taking cocaine, do you think they have adequate ability over what’s right and wrong to reject it? It’s still exploitation even if they say yes.
Because they volunteered to be incarcerated just to volunteer to do this?
I attended a rodeo in Huntsville never again it’s so depressing seeing all those guys who made bad choices and will spend the rest of their lives locked down for things they may have done or didn’t do Lord have mercy on them
Didn’t they stop those ages ago
Barbaric. laaand of the Freeeeee .. and the Hoooome of theeee .. ack!
Barbaric, no words to describe this behavior by the American government
It’s completely voluntary lol…
@@flipflops4528 voluntary as oppose to the other harsh treatment they normally get? Usa talks abouts human rights 😂😂
@@freepalestinelonglivegaza9416 oh I see you have Palestine in your RUclips name. And you have the audacity to speak about our human rights. Look up a photograph of a U.S. jail cell, and compare it to an image of a Palestinian jail cell. Your countries cells look like the rat cages at pet stores. Your countries military kills its own people, in the streets. At least we cover up a majority of it. At least we don’t fear being bombed every night. Congratulations on a stupid comment.
savage...this is like how death race started. the entertainment IS the hurting of the inmates. its okay though because they are not even human and deserve this for our entertainment.
@@skysheep747they’re murderers and criminals they’ve forfeited their right to be a human
It hurts my soul to thing these men had missed a chance to become the men YWHW had meant them to be.
It must be great for the inmates.You get a few cuts and scrapes,maybe a broken bone.The audience gets entertained.The inmates get out of the prison environment for a while and get a hold of whatever contraband they can get their hands on.Not to mention see their families outside of the prison.This must open up a whole new pipeline of communication and supplies.
Made me chuckle!
🙂
Yeah, possibly. I can see you're one of those guys that wants to stop all crime and for all the humans to live in harmony. 😂 don't worry make sure you go to sleep on the 24th so it's Santa Claus can bring you some gifts. 🙄
@@oska592 I am not sure that you are targeting the right guy? He did just advocate gladiatorial prisons but sure buddy, he is the one with a morale problem here.
The first part is the lowest bar. The second part is pure propagandized stupidity.
Your Honor brought me here. This is the most bizarre thing I have ever seen. In my opinion, saying that the inmates volunteer doesnt help. Ofc they volunteer, its time away from their cells. Anyone would volunteer for a chance of freedom. This is exploitation and humiliating. I also read somewhere that the money they win isnt given to them completely. Anyone know if this is true?
Good for them. No animals hurt, and no prisoners seriously hurt. For a few hours, the inmates forget about being inmates, and the inmates have the opportunity to talk with citizens. For me, I don't see any negatives. I'm not going to be the first to cast stones against these men and women. If they want to participate in this opportunity, let them.
The animals are hurt,, you idiot. If they were happy they would not be bucking. Do you think it is fun for them to be pulled to the ground?
So, what I'm wondering is why we still have slavery. I mean, to say someone is "building skills" is some real BS given the reality of how getting employment actually works. Just PAY THEM.
3:29 I BELIEVE I CAN FLYYY
Now THAT is an ethical dilemma if I've ever heard one. Wow. Going to be thinking about this one for a long time.
Well your opinion is completely irrelevant.
Learn to observe. Things will be easier.
is the person who replied above me so dead inside they think that no one's dissenting thoughts make sense, or so cruel that they think that they shouldn't?
@@sidoniegabrielle269 Lmao. They have nothing going on in their brain so they assume nobody else does either. Astute observation my g!
sorry but the horses get abused when it comes to bucking broncos.
Yes they do, the bulls do too. There balls are tied together to make them buck
Something about this doesn’t sit right with me...
For all the people that think this is abuse to the animals, bucking bulls/broncs, roping calves/steers get taken care of like royalty. There is a large business in keeping them in good shape and taking good care of them. Most of these animals are most likely treated better than the prisoners themselves
Reid Bankert Finally someone understands, I go through comments and people are dumb. They don’t know what it’s like to live on a farm
What happens when they get too hurt or old to be profitable?
Livestock are balm to a mans soul. Prison Rodeos were started in Rawlins, Wyoming and there was real talent within those walls! They also grew their own foods, milked cows and had chickens. For many a real cowboy, it was their saving grace. Don't know if they still do it or not as they have moved and upgraded the prison there. But, I knew men who came to work at the ranch who were good men, and great cow and horse hands. I totally support the prison rodeos of that time period (1950's and 1960's). Today, we have as a society, lost touch with that way of life.
That way of life should be gone.
@jennyclark6183 who else is going to get food on your plates?
You’re so close to empathy
people who can’t start a lawn mower and never been around a horse saying the horses and bulls are scared🤣
For the inmates on the other hand… this is horrifying- they have no choice if they need money… the cowboy poker is sad with that look on their faces
This is the best thing about prison in America I have ever seen. Anyone who thinks this is cruel needs to realize how much this does for the prisoners as a growing person. This is a good thing.
That says more about the US carcaral prison system’s depravity and dehumanization than anything else
This is messed up on many levels.
Judge: if you can ride that bull for more than 10 seconds, you’re free to leave prison
So many things about this disturb me.
it bothers everyone in America if don't something is very wrong modern day slavery
+Mrs. linda george how is this modern day slavery? they volunteer to do this...
Brianna Gordy shut the fuck up.
Mrs. linda george You made my day with your joke on how you think this is slavery
+Brianna Gordy Why does it disturb you? These prisoners get to do something else besides sit in cells all day? And also make the prison tons of money so the prison doesn't have to be funded by Tax dollars only? I think its brilliant.
That was touching to watch. I saw the rodeo back in 95'. Glad they still do it.
the guy at 1:15 hahahaha😂
Bill Timmons I believe I can flyyyy
Me: that must have hurt!!
My sister: (laughing)
Te kibaszott trágya szar ember
william timmons24 yeet
That fool went flying at 1:15
Have you ever seen Death Race
They do barrel racing here too and they let regular people inter I’ve ran in this rodeo before!
1:13 holy cow, that guy got launched!
If an inmate dies is the prison held responsible
Green Rocker2.0 e
Nope. Because they volunteered to do it
Green Rocket2.0 Pretty sure they have them sign liability waivers, just like in the outside
Accountable to who? For what? What are you even talking about?
America is a weird place.
Worse than weird
This is a great thing for inmates but the way they treat those animals makes me sick
2:05 that is a real event
Yes it is.
I feel bad that all the men have wasted there lives
At least most men have common grammar..
Your Honor brought me here...
An old Bandido, John, used to be in there. He was in for 40 years for killing a cop. He’s probably dead now. He used to make some great leather saddle bags and belts for the club.
I cried for the horses and the bulls💔😭
Happy Horses that literally happens in every rodeo there fine
I'm not trying to argue but maybe u like rodeo's but I don't to me they are so abusive and cruel I hate Western so I ride English I just think Western is so abusive and that's just my opinion
Emma Equestrian read up on English horse breaking history your discipline has plenty of skeletons in its closest
They like there job
Why
GET YOUR "IN BEFORE 'WHY DID RUclips RECOMMEND THIS TO ME?'" TICKET HERE
tbh this is kinda heart warming, prisoners get a chance to be free for once
Except that guy who killed his wife
Free to make animals suffer? They should be in prison for animal abuse, on top of what they are in for.
This is modern day slavery. This is sad and anyone who supports this is questionable morally and ethically to say the least
If the inmates are ok with it, and it provides them an income, trade, and something to focus on other than prison violence, I’m ok with it.
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! HOW CAN ANYONE ENJOY THIS? THOSE POOR ANIMALS THIS IS SO CRUEL HOW WOULD THEY LIKE TO HAVE A ROPE TIED SO TIGHT AROUND THEIR GUT AND HAVE SOMEONE RIDE THEIR BACK! THOSE ANIMALS ARE SO SCARED THEY WILL LITERALLY DO ANYTHING TO ESCAPE? ABSOLUTELY APPALLING!
Sounds like you know nothing about the sport of rodeo at all!
This seems inhumane
those poor horses are so badly treated all they need is a good home :(
These horses are trained to buck there is a box that simulates weight on thier back when they buck it comes off after they are done in rodeo they can be broke or they live in a pasture for the rest of thier life
Sinister and brutal indeed
Sinister and brutal indeed
How is this legal ... ? Lol
Peter Lopez the prisoners volunteer
@Shannon Rothwell I agree with you because what if you and all of us were in that animals position but I makes me sad watching the animals get hurt
crazycatlady unipop Humans are animals to dipshit. They get hurt too. You have no idea how it is to live on a farm. They don’t get abused there’re already wild, we don’t abuse them at all
I dare you to go to a wild bull and tell him how much you love and care for him and how sorry you are for the way people have treated them for decades. Pet him on his head and give him a hug.
@Shannon Rothwell You must not know much about the rodeo
Closest we could get to a real life Deadman Wonderland. Looks entertaining.
XTheCrystalBeastGuyX i was just thinking that
Awesome deal. I want to support it as soon as I can
No get hurt, wow ur doing such a good job
That last one where you take the chip😬 I have a calf and when he steps on me it’s hurt like crazy😝
1:14 my man went flying
You can clearly see these people have no clue how to ride a bull😂
Those horses dont have trust, its sad, they are not broken but still ridden without training or trust scared. Its sad and shame on you horrible people
And shocked with a device to make them buck
This is cruel just for the horses and cows there arnt made like this they get hurt amd trained to be like this its cruel
Lol no they dont get trained and they dont get hurt the humans get hurt
This is disturbing is so many ways...
How? It’s completely voluntary?
The rodeo is a prison
For animals
Idk about any others, but our local rodeos dont harm the bulls. They have wild bulls, and actually, they arents crazy acting until they enter the ring. So i think they treat them extra special every time they knock a rider off
Agreed...so sad :(
It’s animal abuse
Its true is like abuse
its animal abuse, at the end, we slaughter cows everyday to get some meat. so theres no difference at all, other than the cows actually will have a life as a rodeo cow, instead of being made into roast beef.
1:15 😂 WEEEEEE
It's the white in the knuckles gold in the buckle that makes these men do rodeo
Don't do it if you seek glory. You'll only get hurt. I promise you.
+The Daily Ginger amen to that after 22years of riding bulls. it takes a few minutes to unfold in the mornings
So true! Garth brooks look him up u and listen to the song rodeo! The best. My favorite song!
Your honor brought me here 🤣
Same, never even heard of this...
@@jasoncloer3792 me either. Couldn’t believe it was real!
Can’t believe this is a real thing. Had to look it over after see it in the series Your Honor !🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
This is cruel to the bulls you may think they are vicious and angry but they are doing that to the bull
No. Those bulls are trained to fight and buck. They are breed for it.
Great! I LOVE when people abuse their horses. UGH. They only do this for money. FUN FACT: They don't care about their animals.
Abuse horses? I am guessing you ride English saddle.
Zoe The Equestrian i agree i have horses and have never abused am a vegetarian and love them so I have been roasting people who think it is ok for the last 5 minutes
@@lexihauck674 Only a delusional believes that this is fun and game for the horse too, you are right, roast those idiots who want to defend this abuse, I hate rodeos too.
The “prison stripes” show everything you need to know about why this is entertainment to the people watching
6:51 Who's gonna tell him the 49ers aren't good anymore?
Samuel Knox there good now
stay strong tank
2 things to say: 1:the only reason why the dont stop kicking and bucking is because the tied a rope near the rear end and it hurts them 2: that bull just went yeet 01:15
We also have a place called the DCI Correctional facility where they break and train horses. The horses that participate in the rodeos are ones that people give up because of them being insufficient for their needs.
No one should be breaking wild horses. They should be allowed to just graze. Making them into slaves for humans should be against the law.
@George Jungle Yes, the way it is now it is a sickness.
From a bull rider, and a Louisiana native, this is pretty cool.
hey is it cool that they hit whip and taze there horses and bulls to rear buck kick ram and go craze. The horses have a tight girth that goes around there shoulders that pull tight and cases the to go into pain! I know it looks cool but they hurt the animals for there pleasures. for the bulls and stears they take there hats and and hit them on there head to anger them and taze the bull to freak out.It doesn't feel good to be hit wiped or even hit in the head nomorisurs times with a hat.The animals are im pain and scared! I'm not saying that you don't have to watch this just thought you no EVERYONE should know the true story behind the rear
Case Robertson I like your dog in your profile picture
They just said it was pretty cool
Case Robertson ahh I see, you like abusing animals
urfgrd
Very cool. Deer lodge prison in Montana lets their inmates make stuff then sell it in a store
2020 is that man being launched in the air by that bull lol.
That is probably the best thing i have ever heard a prison do to change their prisoners for the better. I am glad they are doing it, and i love entertainment and bull riding, so yeah.
Why is this legal ?
Why is it sad?? They absolutely love it! They all volunteer and want to be there. Just like people who aren’t in prison do! So be quiet!
@@mizzouranger134 I mean the animals , they shouldn’t be subjected to this.
Boa iniciativa ! Good initiative !
I thought this was going to be about the imprisonment of rodeo animals
First date goals 😆
omg they brought some heifers from angola radio to amite livestock they tore the auction up
You can go to any Rodeo in the country and find the same thing play play bull poker with people just right out of the audience this is just a rodeo works if you can't take it Cowboy Up
Ah yes lets now abuse animals in prison too.
If only you knew more about the sport of rodeo than you actually do!
This is awful to the prisoners and the animals
Why
I have big BIG issues with this. Holy crap.
The soul of a true Cowboy is always free loved it.
Those poor animals :(
1:14 when you use an impulse grenade
Right treatment for the inmates, not for the animals. ANIMALS ARE NOT THERE TO BE USED LIKE THIS. These animals are shocked, and hurt to be forced to act the way they act.
If only you knew more about the sport of rodeo than you actually do!
What are you saying about the incarcerated humans? I agree about the animals, but it sounds like you have vile disregard for incarcerated people.
It's a even bigger crime making them abuse animals
Good job letting the inmates build the arena...they can take pride in that.
"We don't want anyone to get hurt, we want everyone to have a good time." *Literally brings prisoners probably against their own will to ride shocked bulls and horses while being smiled at and laughed at by people who pay money to see both HUMANS and ANIMALS suffer.* Yea no crap they are gonna get hurt bozo. ;-; society
Actually they volunteer.
What are you even talking about?? They absolutely love it! They all volunteer and want to be there. Just like people who aren’t in prison do! So be quiet! The guys work and want to be there. Maybe instead of shoving your opinion on the inmates try listening to their words instead! They say they love it! They work on their crafts and get to hang out and sell their crafts to people. It’s awesome.
This is the craziest idea I ever seen
Something about this doesn’t sit well with me…
I live in south Louisiana and I need to go to this. Even though I am a English rider.
Morgan Claire book your tickets now !! For next October! They sell out really fast
6:33 try doing that to a big bull
Well If I was getting away from Prison definitely would do this am I right?
