Why Louisiana's Angola Prison Is So Dangerous 

How do you feel about the treatment of these prisoners?

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 This is a monstrous system created by the 13th Amendment that will likely never be repealed because there is too much money involved.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.

The lesson here is to behave yourself in Louisiana.

Damn! Dangerous felons not being treating well. Breaks my heart to think they are treated like they treated their victims.

Don't do the crime if you don't like the consequences.

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

Sounds like what a prison should do…

Poor old bad boys. Angola is not there to be a Sunday School.

If you cannot do the time, do not commit the crime.

The. Humidity in Louisiana is. Stiffling.

is The background music really nessacary 🙄

2:30 P Diddle getting used to those bars.

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing.😉.

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.

"Wolfdog hybrids" Beware the loup-garou

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

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

Why is there a museum there? It’s a prison.

“The facility houses violent criminals but we should make it for comfy for them”

65% are serving life sentences? Sounds like most are violent and a danger to each other and guards.

Don't do the crime if you don't want to do the time.

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 is no longer warden, thus it is a dangerous place.

Southern slave owners had an invested economic interest in keeping their slaves somewhat healthy. The Louisana Department of Corrections does not.

We took field trips here as kids lol

2:31 i see diddy right where he need to be🤣🤣🤣

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.

I was sent to Fort Polk, Louisiana. It was more than hot, it was suffocating. No judge was protecting our rights.

That says everything about our current government. Sickening

"It is a prison not a vacation resort" 🤓🍔🍟🍕

If you don't like the accommodation, don't do the crime.

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.

Back in the 70-80 people. Got killed every week including guards

Is it the Prisoner or Staff that makes it dangerous?

My uncle is a prisoner at Angola and he doesn’t get fed every Saturday

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

You treat people worse than animals , you can only expect the worse kind of out come .

WTF??? you can't send kids to ANGOLA...

2:32 i swear that looks just like puffy p diddy😂😂😂

2:33 pdiddy i knew it 😂😂😂

The Breakfast Club sent me here (Boosie Interview)

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.

Funny how they show a clip of P Diddy behind bars as a sample of prison lifestyle.

Imagine the bad Karma in this place. Imagine the amount of slaves that died here when it was a Plantation. The South is like a different country when it comes to human rights especially in Prisons.

@ 2:35... That aged well.

Some get it confused not a rest home

But the angola prison rodeo is quite the spectacle, so at least there's that!

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

Tell him about the gun line Boss !!!!😂🤣😂

According to the Daily Beast, Angola has been called…. A citation AND the passive voice. A twofer.

Former plantation 🤔

This must be where they moved the Alcatraz prisoners to when it shut down.

Don't do the crime

You there for a reason !!!!!

Taking it off over here boss

All i have to say is. What beautiful horses. Nice

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.

This is where Mystikal will live the rest of his life.

Maybe stop coming the crimes that get tou thrown in Angola ??

That's why I always have a shake on, everyone dies in the end rapper's singers actors, R.I.P. my fam.

The youth offenders wasnt on the same unit eith the adults

Gee, it's tough serving a life sentence when they only have themselves to blame.

Moral of the story is, don’t commit crimes so you won’t end up there.

Like wotking in s. Graveyard. Yhree miles. Down

The narrator sounds as if this place if packed full of great people!😂

I work here.

No pain grain

Don't do the crime if you can't handle the time.

Is that diddy 2:31

I’m pretty sure prison is supposed to be a miserable place.

I just call homeland security Pitt CA

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 🏆

My priest works at Angola, and he says he feels the safest there

Who cares about the conditions?! They put themselves there.

they are criminals. dont commit crimes if you dont want to e treated like a prisoner

That’s why it’s called prison not vacation resort.

i wonder how the Prison faired during the thick of the Pandemic?

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.

If they only make 2 cents an hour, do they take out income tax withholding from that?

When serving Prison time one should NOT be subjected to inhumane, unsanitary and cruel treatment.

Wolf dog hybrids 😂

Wolf dog hybrid man stop i been there you dont know what your talking about

Prospective

Stop committing crimes.

Its prison. They are there for a reason.

Angola

Death row is 120 degrees in the. Day and. Cool st nite 93 degrees

I blame the demographic. Why doesn't North Dakota or Wyoming have these issues? Hmmmmm - LOL

Say families live there

And da witness protection program

5 yrs minimum for one and 2 it's a Penitentiary not a jail there's a different they house the worst of the worst

That is what prison should be hell on earth

Sounds like the best prison in USA

I would like to live there for awhile….

My father was a guard in Angola prison he died in 1985 a tractor fell on him

State with the highest crime rate + worst prison in the country = prison doesn't work.

But can rub elbows with prisoners at the Angola Prison Rodeo. Every Sunday in October.
