This weekend, thousands of people from Baton Rouge, throughout Louisiana and beyond will descend on the Louisiana State Penitentiary to take in the famous Angola Prison Rodeo—billed as the “wildest show in the South”—and browse an eclectic selection of inmate-crafted merchandise. Leather belts and wallets are sold alongside rocking chairs, benches and dining room tables—as well as a wide array of food. Watch inmates climb in the ring with bucking broncos and furious bulls, and pick up some interesting handmade crafts at the booths Saturday and Sunday. Grab your tickets at here, and read the rest of this week’s 225 Select e-newsletter here.
