- 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.
Cannot believe this is real. Disgusting for State of Louisiana to treat people like this.
dude it’s prison
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
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.
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!
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.
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
stay strong tank
America is a weird place.
Well If I was getting away from Prison definitely would do this am I right?
Now you know why slaves in the old days stayed on the plantations and defended their slavitude!
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
"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.
@Jenny clark If you cry a river with pure enough tears the beautiful oppressed animals of the world can drink from it and become blessed. if that's not true than you are basically just whining ineffectually. Write a letter to Sarah McLachlan if you want someone to have a good snowflake, tofu fueled cry with you.
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
This is messed up on many levels.
Your Honor Season 2 episode 1 brought me here….. I had to see if this is real myself……😂😂😂😂😂
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
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
“3:36” rodeo training. I don’t think you train for playing cowboy poker 😂
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
3:29 I BELIEVE I CAN FLYYY
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
I feel bad that all the men have wasted there lives
At least most men have common grammar..
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
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

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
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.
@Jenny clark stfu
Those poor animals :(
Have you ever seen Death Race
This is disturbing is so many ways...
How? It’s completely voluntary?
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.
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.
Something about this doesn’t sit right with me...
I kinda have mixed feelings bc of the animals
This is a great thing for inmates but the way they treat those animals makes me sick
These poor animals.. so cruel 😢
If only you knew more about the sport of rodeo than you actually do
Judge: if you can ride that bull for more than 10 seconds, you’re free to leave prison
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.
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
1:13 holy cow, that guy got launched!
They do barrel racing here too and they let regular people inter I’ve ran in this rodeo before!
Your Honor brought me here...
No get hurt, wow ur doing such a good job
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.
@jennyclark6183 who else is going to get food on your plates?
Omg but those poor animals
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!
That fool went flying at 1:15
Abuse stooooooooop pls !!!!!
Clearly sounds to me like you know nothing about the sport of rodeo at all!
omg they brought some heifers from angola radio to amite livestock they tore the auction up
1:15 😂 WEEEEEE
It hurts my soul to thing these men had missed a chance to become the men YWHW had meant them to be.
tbh this is kinda heart warming, prisoners get a chance to be free for once
Except that guy who killed his wife
This is modern day slavery. This is sad and anyone who supports this is questionable morally and ethically to say the least
None of those animals look comfortable to r happy
Maria Logman ik it’s just wrong
Poor animals
Anya Cipolla How? This doesn't cause any pain it's just an annoyance to them which makes them mad but that's all they do and there treated amazingly.
This is awful to the prisoners and the animals
Why
2:05 that is a real event
Yes it is.
Ah yes lets now abuse animals in prison too.
If only you knew more about the sport of rodeo than you actually do!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
Pero yo preferia una lucha de FULL CONTACT SWORD FIGHTING.
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
You can clearly see these people have no clue how to ride a bull😂
Idk how to feel about this. I guess I feel a little bit of everything. On one hand, these are humans and they also could be innocent in rare cases. On the other hand, I think of the victims and their families and the fact that they're agreeing to it. So idfk
Whoever thinks this hurts the animals the you should realize that god put animals on earth for us to eat them.
Good joke. Does God text you or is he more of a DM guy?
No so agree
Rodeos are already horrible places they beat the animals horses don't act like that!
Wtf are you talking about? They don't beat any of the animals. They put a rope around their stomach and the tightness makes them buck. You're ignorant
It's not abusive. Those bulls are breed and trained to fight and buck. The worst that happens to them is that the get a little kick because the bull doesn't want to get in the trailer. But the bulls and horses are taken care of. They buck because of a flank strap that is placed in front of the back legs and it is uncomfortable to them but it doesn't harm them in any way
I agree. The so called “wild” horses in rodeos are often tased and beaten to the point that they are horrified of people. It is horrible
@@flutterwhyy idk what rodeo you're talking about but I guarantee no animals are tased or beaten.
Something about this doesn’t sit well with me…
It's a even bigger crime making them abuse animals
Poor animals
I just feel bad for the animals that are abused for this
Ditto too much too long
this is f*cking animal abuse
No it's not. Please be a smart person and learn about something before opening your mouth and talk about something you know nothing about.
Cruelty
No animal should be like that
This looks so much fun
We dont want anyone to get hurt. Bruh really this is messed and prisoners are getting hurt.
Tell me your joking
I mean yah they deserve to be in PRISON but not be forced to be hit by bulls and be clowns for peoples amusement. So yes and no.
Atleast they get to do some type of sport instead of sit in a cell all day
A painful sport
@@sammyaasa8490 that aren't forced to do it. Did you listen to the warden. He said they volunteer to do it
It's the white in the knuckles gold in the buckle that makes these men do rodeo
American Welder I'm actually seeking a bull riding clinic to go to to start doing this for profit and fun. scared shitless of course.... but I can see the addicting glory and stuff
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!
2020 is that man being launched in the air by that bull lol.
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
I really don't see how it counts as volunteering if it is their only real opportunity to make money. How are they going to afford calls with their family, medical care, or other necessities on 2 cents an hour? This is the Irish and indentured servitude all over again. Just because someone agreed to do something does not mean that the underlying context that led to that decision is just.
They used to have that in Oklahoma but they stopped it
Rodeo is more prison to the bulls and horses.....
I thought this was going to be about the imprisonment of rodeo animals
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.
Wait, horses do rodeos?
Yes. There are bucking horses in rodeos.
this dudes just suplex some bulls
"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 seems inhumane
What do they do to the animals
Welcome to the west
I think I saw joe exotic
