Get ya boots ready because the Angola Prison Rodeo returns this fall!

The fall Angola Prison Rodeo is back each Sunday in October. The rodeo will offer the best in prison rodeo excitement! Warden Tim Hooper invites the public to view the wildest rodeo show in the South. Watch as Angola inmate cowboys compete in heart-stopping events like – Convict Poker, Wild Cow Milking, Bull Riding, and the world-famous Guts-n-Glory.


Rodeo fans are encouraged to come early to hear outstanding inmate bands, feast on a wide array of the South’s best food, and shop the unique and affordable prisoner-made arts and crafts including jewelry, leathercrafts, paintings, woodworking, lawn and garden furniture, and toys. Little rodeo fans will also enjoy special attractions just for them including pony rides, carnival games, an antique carousel, and lots more!
