Damn. So I just picked a video at random (Aug 13, I think) and scrolled to a random point in the stream. No idea what to expect.

Just the prison farm, from the look of things

Angola is a former plantation. They have a farm and other workplaces for the men to work.

Also interesting is the angola rodeo and craft fair which is amazing! I love going to it. The ticket sell out fast. The crafts these guys make are really cool. The inmates make and sell the stuff ( they do not collect the money, a prison official does on their behalf. Inmates remain behind fence so you can interact with the person who did the craft or artwork.

The rodeo is fun as well. They play poker with a bull who has a plactic chip ( like a casino chip) tied between its horns and the inmate who grabs it wins. Lots of wild and fun stuff and the inmates love it.

Oh until recently, there was no air conditioning in the death row house for the inmates. You do get a bit of ice though, in your cell tho, maybe a fan in the hall for them. They had to sue to get ac and even now, im not sure they really have it. Not that i care. Let em roast.

So the prison rodeo from that one Simpsons episode wasn't a parody? It's a real fucking thing?

The annual Angola Prison Rodeo is a very big deal. Longest running prison rodeo in the country.

Another fun fact: Angola has almost 7,000 inmates. About 75% of them will die there.

They still pick cotton?
I mean I know deep down in my heart that the guards don't use whips, but....

Angola doesn't have air conditioning. They beg to be allowed out to pick cotton.

Parchman State Penitentiary way up in north Mississippi is 100x worse than Angola. It's surrounded by cotton fields. If I were to take a black&white picture there tomorrow it would be indistinguishable from one taken in 1890. DO NOT BREAK THE LAW IN MISSISSIPPI!

Very funny, i always thought criminals should be forced to labor and used for our entertaiment as a way to provide something for society rather than being taxpayer burden, it just needs the forced sterilizations on niggers like the Otomans did to truly be completed.

To be fair on him, 99% of threads on /pol/ are unusable twitter screencap threads, niggerdick and schizophrenic jew sperging.

I remember watching these and live chatting in /pol/ threads, very comfy. Literally some of the dumbest retard gorilla niggers to ever exist come from Louisiana, it's shocking and fascinating.

There’s old sayings from multiple cultures that claims the cold will cool a man’s heart, and the heat will light a man’s temper. Given Blacks are predisposed to living near the equator, where it’s hot and sunny, it’s really no wonder the chimpout stereotype is true. Black people thrive in heat, and heat will make a man stupid. And inadvertently provides endless entertainment for those more level headed.

But heat can affect anyone, it only affects blacks moreso because of the possible (probably true) claims that blacks have a lower on average IQ by race. Go figure. Not meant to be hate speech, simply how they’re designed.

I’m a bit shocked at the families on these calls. If my loved relative’s release from prison depended partially on my offering them a stable home, you bet your dangling tube titties I’d be dressed smartly and in a quiet room with no distractions on that video call. All these family members are just carrying on like it’s some random chit-chat with a friend.

Wild. I was brought up in a family that taught me not to trust the law as far as I could spit, and even then we all knew to act proper around the powers that be anyway. They’re going to judge you on how much respect you show to them, and how ‘nice’ you appear. If you can’t even fake the basics, why bother turning up at all?

Different worlds, man. It’s crazy to think these people all live in the same state.
 
Wow. This was a headline I didn't expect to see on the front page.
I'm from southeast Louisiana and actually went to Angola on a school field trip many, many years ago. It was surreal. Town outside of the prison, pretty houses. Inside were fields that went on forever. No fences if I recall, the swamps killed everyone who tried to escape. The bus rides between facilities were long, and you'd see little guards on horses in those fields all the way in the distance. I can't recall seeing the prisoners below the guards, but they for sure were working the fields. Also passed by where they train dogs, which is where the most trusted prisoners get to live. It's essentially a cabin on the edge of the property. It's ironic that Angola is probably one of the most horrible prisons in the U.S. to be sentenced to, but training dogs in a cabin in relative seclusion is probably one of the best outcomes you can get as a prisoner in the U.S.
When we got to death row, I stepped out of the bus and my teacher, Mr B., turned and said he can't walk back in, just been to many times. Never seen that man look like that. The execution room was white and sterile. I remember touching the chair they strap you down to. We went to the gift shop right outside the gate after that, where they have a small museum featuring Gruesome Gertie, the old electric chair famous for a botched execution on a kid some hundred years ago or so. I bought some hot sauce made by the prisoners there and it wasn't hot at all, just vinegary. Most other kids bought the "Angola: A Gated Community" sweatshirts. I've never been, but apparently the rodeo brings in a lot of money for the prison.
Anyways, that's my two cents! Never want to visit that place again. I had no idea about these livestreamed parole hearings though. Glad we didn't have that in high school, me and my friends would've played them in Mr. B.'s class and he'd probably cry. That man was addicted to diet Mountain Dew too, I'm talking packs of bottles under his desk, and he readily admitted he had a problem.
 
I can't say I have Josh, Im not autistic enough to care about whatever the fuck your issue of the week is. This is not deserving of a feature, if you wanna editorialize write into one of those local Czech newspapers, or the newspaper of wherever the fuck you're at.
 
I wonder if the inmates feel like they get more meaning out of life in Angola, compared to prisons where they just have everyone in the block watching tv and doing drugs. working outside, especially picking cotton, might actually be good for the prisoner's psyche. they get to work with their hands doing fairly safe work outside and probably develop friendships and just shoot the shit all day. The crafts and rodeo are great distractions ways for the prisoners to occupy their minds and is probably pretty calming, I think theres probably a lot that could be done to enhance the experience of being in prison so that the people in there have a sense of belonging and purpose. It would make life in prison better and maybe when the prisoners are released they are equipped with emotional regulation and problem solving skills.
