    The red dot on the bull represents a five hundred dollar chip. During the rodeo they will place the chip on the head of the bull and who ever pulls it off wins five hundred bucks

    I’ve been to the museum a few times, if you look closely at the electric chair. It’s full of blood stains on the straps and wood. The chair use to be the only one in Louisiana, so they would take it to prisons all over LA too execute inmates.
    In high school we took a tour of the whole prison except for inside the buildings, we even seen the original death row.

    I've been to the Angola rodeo many times. The red "dot" on the bull is actually a tag and an inmate tries to grab it off the bull to win the prize. They turn the bull lose in the ring and a group of inmates chases the mad, bucking bull around the arena trying to grab the tag off the bull. It's usual pretty big money to grab the tag so those inmates go all out trying to grab it, they get tossed all around that arena, some of them getting picked up and tossed pretty dam high up in the air. It's a little scary to watch lol. They do the poker table game too. They set a little card table in the arena with 4 inmates sitting around in folding chairs pretending to play poker. They turn a bucking bull lose in the and the rodeo clowns entice the bull to run at and over the table. The prisoners can't jump and run or Dodge the bull, of they get knocked over they can right themselves and their chair but if they run they are out. Last man poker wins the pot of money. Those inmates go all out for that rodeo, they put their hearts into it and they raise and train all the live stock they use in the rodeo.

    In the very earliest days of angola rodeo, a ticket was placed between the horns of a bull. Inmate who got the ticket then earned his release. Too many died and the practice was discontinued, though i forget which year. Apparently, then they come up with the $500 chip between the eyes.

    The reason the bull has a coin on his forehead is because when they have the rodeo the inmates create their own competitions and one of the games they play is they put a bucking strap on a bull and a coin on its forehead and whoever can retrieve the coin wins $500. The rodeo is so amazing. I would definitely recommend going. It's every Sunday in October.
