Sweethearts of the Prison Rodeo goes behind prison walls to follow convict cowgirls on their journey to the 2007 Oklahoma State Penitentiary Rodeo. In 2006, female inmates were allowed to participate for the first time. In a state with the highest female incarceration rate in the country, these women share common experiences such as broken homes, drug abuse and alienation from their children. From 1940 - 2008, the Oklahoma State Penitentiary held an annual 'Prison Rodeo'. Part Wild West show and part coliseum-esque spectacle, it was one of the last of its kind - a relic of the American penal system. Prisoners compete on wild-broncs and bucking bulls, risking life-long injuries. For inmates like Danny Liles, a 14-year veteran of the rodeo, the chance to battle livestock offers a brief respite from prison life. Within this strange arena the prisoners become the heroes while the public and guards applaud.

  • poor inmates got nothing and give all for a small moment outside

  • where can i download this

  • The Correctional Officers in Oklahoma are NOT unionized. Obviously the person that wrote that is not from here.  The prison rodeo is very much something that the inmates look forward to and train for each year. They compete to get spots on the teams and work very hard. It's a very good thing.

  • thumbs up if you think this isnt right

  • Excellent movie!

  • I don't think they're having fun playing cowboy. The point of all this is to watch prisoners get fucked up by a bull.

  • @towertek shit boy this is oklahoma, we don't got no damn liberals here

  • Rodeo Royale?

  • Love the quote at 1.22 "dont want anyone to get hurt, or get killed, but if they do, you darn sure don't wanna miss it". Hmm next stop death race

  • So these fuckheads get to play cowboy while all the rest of us law abiding citizens have to go to work to pay for their fun. THe whole time guarded by their unionized underworked keepers.

    Fuck all of them and sentence them to hard menial labor so that they never offend again.

    Fucking liberals who come up with this shit.
