Angola Prison Rodeo in NRC Handelsblad

I finally got a chance to see the prison rodeo at Angola, Louisiana’s State Penitentiary this October. Not only was it my first time in a prison, but it was also my first rodeo. Luckily, I was on assignment for a Dutch newspaper’s weekend magazine because otherwise photography is prohibited. It was quite an experience and I plan to write a more detailed post with more images later. So for now, check out the tearsheets! They called the story, “Prisoners as Gladiators”.
