Louisiana State Penitentiary

Every Sunday during the month of October, the general public is invited to witness the "Wildest Show in the South" for a small fee. In addition to the rodeo performances, spectators can purchase refreshments, meals, hobby craft items made by the inmates, and be entertained by the Angola Rodeo inmate band. The first spring Angola Prison Rodeo was held in April, 2001. The spring rodeo has also become an annual event.
