- Men work in the fields in the sweltering Louisiana heat, watched over by armed guards and wolf-dog hybrids. This is the biggest maximum-security prison in the United States - and one of the most dangerous.

How do you feel about the treatment of these prisoners?
This is so horrible and inhumane, the best way to avoid going to prison is by not getting into trouble with the police.
@@tobiojo6469that’s not true! There are folks in prison that haven’t gotten in trouble with the police! I’m certain you know this.
@@Chattingwithsamamen. Not everyone belongs there.
@@LBowen-wg5rn😂😂
Alot more humane than other countries
Damn! Dangerous felons not being treating well. Breaks my heart to think they are treated like they treated their victims.
Okay time for a bit of clarification. Yes Angola is a harsh, horrible, and heinous place, however, there is exactly one hybrid wolf dog and it is not used to guard prisoners. It is a failed experiment not fit for purpose and is kept well away from prisoners. The dogs on site are Malinois, German Sheperd, and Bloodhound. The fields the prisoners work in are vegetable crops used to feed inmates. There is a processing plant on the grounds where the veg are washed, processed, and flash frozen. There is not a metal can or can opener on the premises. When it was a plantation the predominate crop was cotton, no cotton is grown there today.
Angola is also the largest prison in the United States. It encompasses 18,000 acres bordered by the Mississippi River on three sides and the Tunica Hills on the fourth, which are full of every kind of stinging or biting bug one can imagine and then there are the snakes, Ground Rattlers are most common with Moccasins (pit vipers) thrown in for glee. It is also the only prison in the world without a perimeter fence.
South Louisiana is a brutal climate, especially in the summer months.It is extremely hot and very humid, making the heat index well above 95 degrees F throughout the summer into the fall months.
This is a monstrous system created by the 13th Amendment that will likely never be repealed because there is too much money involved. Private money, making the rich richer.
Don't do the crime if you don't like the consequences.
The lesson here is to behave yourself in Louisiana.
Or, hear me out, we actually focus on rehabilitation and not JUST punishment?
How about I just not go there
@@vitalityfoxexactly. Why would anyone wants to live here lol
Too much racist heritage in the south for my pleasure.
@@clockspacefilms3025Louisiana is a good place in most parts,, but some areas hell no,, new Orleans, Bastrop, Shreveport,, parts of monroe ect ect,, I live in north Louisiana close to ruston,, a pretty safe area,, drugs are getting worse here like everywhere in the usa,, but your ass goes to jail here unlike some states lol,, the incomes are lower but also the cost of living is lower in most of Louisiana ,, so it works out even
Poor old bad boys. Angola is not there to be a Sunday School.
Sounds like what a prison should do…
I know a man who served 25 years here came out with a education and a different out look now is a successful business man yeah he was young when he went in
Was it when Burl Cain was warden?
“The facility houses violent criminals but we should make it for comfy for them”
The. Humidity in Louisiana is. Stiffling.
I take it you neva been tuh South Florida 🧿
@@ronikatjonesor North Florida during the summer
@@ronikatjoneslived both places and Louisiana os much worse
everyone cries about harsh treatment of these prisoners, take a look at the things they have done to others if you want to think about harsh
Yea they didn't get there by selling lemonade
If you cannot do the time, do not commit the crime.
I think you could have looked more thoroughly into this prison. Approximately 1,500-2,000 prisoners attend church regularly there. A special prison ministry featuring the work of Henry Blackaby has worked miracles there. Many prisoners have gotten an education there while opening their hearts to God. This video does not mention it this success there. Pity.
Burl Cain brought in the religious environment and much of the clean up and reform when he was warden. Yes I live in south Louisiana.
One would think that the state with the harshest sentencing guidelines and the highest incarceration rate wouldn't also have the highest murder rate year after year, but that's exactly what Louisiana has somehow experienced.
U would think ppl would be scared to commit violent crimes
Preach preacher
Turns out harsh sentences, high incarceration rates and cruel and unusual punishments don't have an effect on the reasons that people commit crimes.
@@transvestosaurus878 Google El Salvador.
Definitely the worst state I'd say
2:30 P Diddle getting used to those bars.
Same thing i said bro😂😂😂
Don't do the crime if you don't want to do the time.
"Wolfdog hybrids"
Beware the loup-garou
65% are serving life sentences? Sounds like most are violent and a danger to each other and guards.
Southern slave owners had an invested economic interest in keeping their slaves somewhat healthy. The Louisana Department of Corrections does not.
Why is there a museum there? It’s a prison.
before it was a state pen it was a working plantation
Because it is a very historical place.
It was one of the first slave plantations
"It is a prison not a vacation resort" 🤓🍔🍟🍕
is The background music really nessacary 🙄
Necessary... Jesus yours was a horrible spelling.
We took field trips here as kids lol
Did u get to see camp j? Cool u got to see angola
Warden cain seems cool to inmates in shows ive seen
What school you went to
cain is as corrupt as they come@@matthewburgess6076
I've done the same thing in Alabama at a prison called draper in the 90s it's now shut down because of inhumane treatment imagine that
2:31 i see diddy right where he need to be🤣🤣🤣
No 🧢
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing.😉.
Burl Cain is no longer warden, thus it is a dangerous place.
The Warden is Tim Hooper who was brought up under Burl Cain. Angola is still the same as when he left years back. It's not dangerous as it was in the 1980s before Burl. His sin in law Seth Smith is also the Under Secretary for the Department of Corrections. So don't comment if your dumbass has no clue what your talking about and definitely if you haven't done time under any of these men.
If you don't like the accommodation, don't do the crime.
I was sent to Fort Polk, Louisiana. It was more than hot, it was suffocating. No judge was protecting our rights.
me too , after a week we got transfer to fort leonard wood , mo. very happy . horrible food and really humid .
What did you do to someone else to get there ?
@@paulbrungardt9823 how much would it matter tho? Everyone’s a person that has feelings and rights, even the worst of the worst. We gotta realize that if we wanna get better as a society
@@JoeBoat0T A person has to pay for his crimes. We will get better as a society when the criminals know there is a swift, certain & severe consequence for crime.
I didn’t know Ft. Polk had a prison I lived on the army base
I am reading many comments that say it isnt supposed to be a holiday camp and "dont do the crime if you cant do the time", but consider this - as infamously inhumane as a Angola is, not one of those convicts were dissuaded from the criminal act they did because they feared doing time there. Desperate people will do desperate things.
That says everything about our current government. Sickening
I've never been to the museum (or the prison!), but I've explored the Tunica Hills along highway 66. I might visit the museum if I get back to that area.
Funny how they show a clip of P Diddy behind bars as a sample of prison lifestyle.
You treat people worse than animals , you can only expect the worse kind of out come .
Back in the 70-80 people. Got killed every week including guards
According to the Daily Beast, Angola has been called….
A citation AND the passive voice. A twofer.
2:32 i swear that looks just like puffy p diddy😂😂😂
Said da same thing i said😂😂
It is p diddy. Movies called monster ball it was filmed at angola
Is it the Prisoner or Staff that makes it dangerous?
Yes.
Both!
Both
That’s why it’s called prison not vacation resort.
You go to prison AS punishment. Not FOR punishment.
Highest revisitation rate in the world. Oh say can you see
😮 I assume that you don't know, personally, nothing about it. I haven't been to prison but I have been in jail. Jail is bad, but I agree that it's not supposed to be a vacation resort and shouldn't be. That prison is no place for young people. Hardened criminals who will never have redemption,
I can see if they are murderers, rapists, etc...

This place is only an hour away from where I live, the Angola Rodeo is amazing 😊
Girl who cares?

"modern day slavery is ok, as long as I get to watch a bunch of cows run around." May The Creator have mercy on your ignorant soul.
Fr I loved going there and I got on this small Ferris wheel and the merry go round
Gee, it's tough serving a life sentence when they only have themselves to blame.
@ 2:35... That aged well.
WTF??? you can't send kids to ANGOLA...
All those “kids” were 16 and 17 year old violent offenders who were tried as adults for committing murders, rapes, car jackings, etc. They were given lengthy sentences. They were kept away from general pop. They were basicallly serving their sentences in segregation until they turned 19-20 and reclassified into the adult prison system, whereas many of them will spend decades at Angola. The juvenile prison was overcrowded and outdated, so the state decided to take the worst offenders out of that facility and send them to the maximum security former death row where they’d be safe and to keep them away from the other low level juvenile offenders. These aren’t ordinary “kids”. They are hardcore violent offenders who have been in and out of the system most of their youth. There should’ve been some context included with that segment.
If you are from Louisiana you know about Angola. Angola is not a prison it is a penitentiary. There is a big difference. Some of the Penitentiary camps are miles from each other.
My priest works at Angola, and he says he feels the safest there
The Breakfast Club sent me here (Boosie Interview)
But the angola prison rodeo is quite the spectacle, so at least there's that!
Moral of the story is, don’t commit crimes so you won’t end up there.
Maybe stop coming the crimes that get tou thrown in Angola ??
Yet my school took us there for a field trip. They actually take them every year.😅 We got to walk through the quarters and everything.
This prison needs to be on #60Daysin
nah
@@jasonfoley6502 what they are doing is not right.
@@vanessastegall That's harsh reality and there are prisons in the world far worse than america's
These inmates are the worst of the worst they are a danger to the public. Thank God for Angola. These inmates are not choir boys.
I’m pretty sure prison is supposed to be a miserable place.
This must be where they moved the Alcatraz prisoners to when it shut down.
Nope. This is a Louisiana state prison. Alcatraz was either federal or California. Nobody from Alcatraz would have been sent there when the rock was shut down
Here is the issue... You need to obey the law in Louisiana... This is a PRISON! Everyone of these CONVICTS have a VICTIM in their WAKE!
Yep
Tell him about the gun line Boss !!!!😂🤣😂
Don't do the crime if you can't handle the time.
Some get it confused not a rest home
It is for some who are elderly. 100 wrongfully convicted in last 20 years, and that is only the ones who were exonerated
The youth offenders wasnt on the same unit eith the adults
All i have to say is. What beautiful horses. Nice
The narrator sounds as if this place if packed full of great people!😂
they are criminals. dont commit crimes if you dont want to e treated like a prisoner
Yeah but what are you going to do and they make having a small dick illegal? Riddle me this Batman
ignorance
Former plantation 🤔
You mean farm. The whole place is a farm.
@@mah7961 yeah right
A plantation is another word for farm. But the prison for the most part is a farm. Even from the google maps you can see the fields.
That's why I always have a shake on, everyone dies in the end rapper's singers actors, R.I.P. my fam.
Don't do the crime
Taking it off over here boss
Like wotking in s. Graveyard. Yhree miles. Down
Is that diddy 2:31
Stop committing crimes.
You're just ignorant
March 13 2024 7:16 pm
Who cares about the conditions?! They put themselves there.
When serving Prison time one should NOT be subjected to inhumane, unsanitary and cruel treatment.
Most have it better there than on the streets robbing and killing
No pain grain
I think ALL prisoners should have to work a daily job.
I work here.
That is what prison should be hell on earth
If they only make 2 cents an hour, do they take out income tax withholding from that?
lol! They’re actually paid like $1.75 but the state takes room and board out of their check.
Every October the prison at Angola hosts the last inmate rodeo in the country. Tickets are cheap at $10-15 each. Go see it if you get the chance.
State with the highest crime rate + worst prison in the country = prison doesn't work.
What would you suggest
@@arthurbrumagem3844Treating the disease and not just the symptom, by fixing the things that cause people to turn to crime.
@@transvestosaurus878 noble thought to be sure but in so many cases you won’t solve the problem. Most of those lifers are there because they ruined someone’s life. If you can’t control a persons emotions they will still kill in a fit of rage whether it be jealousy or some other trigger .And don’t use poverty as an excuse as I grew up poor with others as poor as I and committing felonies wasn’t on our shopping list. Granted poverty can trigger some but it’s not a catch all excuse. Hard core gang members are never going to change imo
@@transvestosaurus878 since I live in louisiana let's face honest facts , most of that crime you speak of is in heavy black populated areas , new Orleans, Shreveport, monroe Southside, bastrop,, ruston Eastside, so how come blacks can't learn from a lesson in life,, like it's cool to go to prison., I'm white and got put in jail for drunk driving in 2015., no way in hell I'll get another one , I can only imagine what a penitentiary is like..
Neither does enabling criminals
My father was a guard in Angola prison he died in 1985 a tractor fell on him
damn. may he rest in peace
@@tre_4 thanks

i wonder how the Prison faired during the thick of the Pandemic?
Wolf dog hybrid man stop i been there you dont know what your talking about
They thinkin of Russia Lol
Hello and good day to you Ladies and Gentlemen watching this video 💯💎💲 Jail and Prison is not a nice place to be....The food is Horrible.....The Extreme Violence is Everyday......And the Sex is Sometimes Volunteer and Sometimes Involuntary 👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️ Worst experience of my life...Yes I did the crime and did the time in Joliet Illinois 🇺🇲 State Prison 🏆
Sounds like the best prison in USA
If it's that bad why commit crimes to go there?
Death row is 120 degrees in the. Day and. Cool st nite 93 degrees
Its prison. They are there for a reason.
Sounds like a place that sucks.
So actual punishment for once...?
NICE!!!
How is this reblitating ?
If you treat them bad enough they'll think twice before committing another crime the states with day care type prisions reentry into the system is close to 80%
But can rub elbows with prisoners at the Angola Prison Rodeo. Every Sunday in October.
Prospective
I blame the demographic. Why doesn't North Dakota or Wyoming have these issues? Hmmmmm - LOL
I think we both know the reason. The elephant in the room that nobody wants to see.
Angola is a prison, and prison aren't meant ne nice.
❤❤
Do you like the high recidivism rate? Because this does not lower rates of recidivism.
Also, do you really believe there aren't a few innocent people there?
I would like to live there for awhile….
😂
It’s a prison not a vacation resort. 😊
Highest revisitation rate in the world. Oh say can you see
Davidjones9518 ❤❤
Say families live there
It’s like the warden Burl Cain said” every other convict you see here there’s somebody in the ground because of them “. Those killers and rapists have a 3 meals a day and a roof over their heads. They have to work? So what?
Agreed.
If you really want to see inhumane treatment and conditions in prisons look no further than shows like lock up abroad. Places in the 3rd world. Where prisons are lucky to get a bowl full of rice for one meal.
