Why Louisiana's Angola Prison Is So Dangerous

Рет қаралды 150,351

Күн бұрын

Men work in the fields in the sweltering Louisiana heat, watched over by armed guards and wolf-dog hybrids. This is the biggest maximum-security prison in the United States - and one of the most dangerous.

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 This is a monstrous system created by the 13th Amendment that will likely never be repealed because there is too much money involved.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

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.

His sin in law Seth Smith is also the Under Secretary for the Department of Corrections.

@derekv8534 2 ай бұрын

All those “kids” were 16 and 17 year old violent offenders who were tried as adults for committing murders, rapes, car jackings, etc. They were given lengthy sentences. They were kept away from general pop. They were basicallly serving their sentences in segregation until they turned 19-20 and reclassified into the adult prison system, whereas many of them will spend decades at Angola. The juvenile prison was overcrowded and outdated, so the state decided to take the worst offenders out of that facility and send them to the maximum security former death row where they’d be safe and to keep them away from the other low level juvenile offenders. These aren’t ordinary “kids”. They are hardcore violent offenders who have been in and out of the system most of their youth. There should’ve been some context included with that segment.
