In this video, inspirational speaker and Edgerton's group travel host Charlie Adams takes you inside Angola Prison, once called America's deadliest prison by Time Magazine. Charlie Frazier, an inmate who ran with Pretty Boy Floyd as well as Bonnie and Clyde, had murdered two guards in the cane fields where the inmates work. They put him in the last cell on the left and the door and window were welded closed. He was welded in for 7 years until he became ill and died. In this video, you will see the area where he was welded in.
Since Burl Cain became Angola's warden in 1995, Angola has used faith based programs to help turn the prison into a model program.
This video starts with the American Queen - the world's largest steamboat - powering up the Mississippi River from New Orleans to St Francesville, Louisiana. You will go onboard to see some of the steamboat and then hop onto a bus to drive to Angola prison.
This was part of the American Queen steamboat trip from New Orleans to Memphis that Charlie hosted in November of 2013. The trip was a big success with the group of travelers. Charlie will host another steamboat trip for Edgerton's Travel in August of 2015 that will go from St Louis to St Paul. For information you can contact Edgerton's at 1-800-643-4604
