Prison raises stakes with 'Convict Poker'

Inmates are charged by a bull during 'Convict Poker' at the Angola Rodeo, a prison rodeo at Louisiana State Prison in Angola, Louisiana at the weekend.

'Convict Poker' is a game that involves four inmate cowboys who sit at a table in the middle of the arena with their hands on the table. A wild bull is then released into the arena and the the last man remaining seated is the winner.

The Angola Rodeo was first held in 1965 and features prisoners and staff competing in events ranging from bareback horse riding to Guts and Glory, in which inmates attempt to grab a poker chip that has been tied to the back of a Brahma Bull.
