Convict Poker
Inmates are charged by a bull during “Convict Poker” at the Angola Rodeo, a prison rodeo at Louisiana State Prison in Angola, Louisiana, on April 21, 2012. “Convict Poker” is a game that involves four inmate cowboys who sit at a table in the middle of the arena with their hands on the table, and a wild bull is released, leaving the last man remaining seated, as the winner. The Angola Rodeo was first held in 1965 and features prisoners and staff competing in events ranging from bareback horse riding to Guts and Glory, in which inmates attempt to grab a poker chip that has been tied to the back of a Brahma Bull.
