"John Singletary lands on his head after winning 'Convict Poker,' the highlight of the annual Prison Rodeo at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. It's a sort of wild west version of the old game chicken, four inmates sit a poker table with the meanest bull loose in the arena. The last one sitting wins. Unlike conventional rodeos, all of the events have been rigged to tip the scales in the animal's favor. The rodeo draws huge crowds to the maximum security prison to see the inmates, mostly serving time for violent crimes, get their punishment. Photographed for the Dallas Morning News."
