I think certain inmates should play golf. It would be a great program for a select small group of inmates that were deserving. Other prisons could follow suit. A new kind of PGA. Prison Golf Association.

@-RedEnoz- 5 лет назад

Agreed. Everyone saying that they shouldn't play, well what about basketball, gym equipment, and watching TV?

@northernyankee11 4 года назад

too bad i think it would serve as rehabilitation, health, and acquiring skills and civility, they could earn rounds of golf for days worked. that aligns with how society functions. its an opportunity to bond with a sport and love something which is attainable on a low wage outside of prison.

@northernyankee11 4 года назад

@Ol Hornytoad where is the rehabilitation aspect in all of our prisons, and in the world there are prisons that allow a lot of activities, it would be beneficial to know what promotes less repeat offenders. any insight?

@ActingLikeABoss 5 лет назад

As a Louisiana resident, I’ve visited Angola plenty of times for the Angola Rodeo. I’ve never gotten to see most of the golf course, but the few holes I’ve seen along with just the landscape of the prison itself is beautiful. And a side note, the prisoners sell a lot of the artwork they make throughout the year at the rodeo, and it’s crazy how talented most of them are. Probably spent over $1000 just in woodworkings, wallets, and other stuff they’ve made over there.

The greenskeeper's dilemma

@jon8348 5 лет назад

I think the Golf course should be used as an incentive for good behavior. Examples, prisoner gets their GRE let them play a round, if the prisoner works a job in the prison and has stayed out of trouble since being there let them play once a month or something. I'm sure its been thought of already, and I sure as hell don't know how to run a prison better than a warden. Just my 2 cents

@coreyoudman6870 5 лет назад

Jon eh man your 2 cents are worth a lot, 1 prisoner working hour to exact

Let’s say a dude kills your parents, gets life sentence. Then you hear a few years later he plays a round of golf every month. I’m sorry but this is a punishment and the reward is you get to go out side and not be locked up. Sounds like a win to me
