  • The elites who have hijacked the United States must hate this guy's guts.

  • why that is so? because if the prisoners got out alive to tell their awful stories then everyone would realise that prisons are not a luxury. if it were, prisoners would not be attempting to escape! the average sentence in louisiana for a non-murder related crime is 88 years, pretty much securing any chance of release. north korea still talks about how great their country is, and since few of its inhabitants come out alive, there is no second side to that story.

  • 100 dollars tells me that louisiana penitentiary is actually the worse prison in the usa. my reasons for believing it? prisoners on other videos say they have to stay up late at night to make sure someone doesn't kill them in their sleep. also the prison cells from photos i seen look worse than the texas death row cells, and that is saying a lot. louisiana is the only state that offers no parole even for non-violent reasons.

  • @jplefabuleux I know I`d prefer to be working than locked up in a cell possibly terrified for my life. As for compensation, prisoners need to be compensated for their crimes? I don`t think so. I think they should be treated humanely & I think what Cain has done has humanized their existence. He can`t help they were sent to prison but he can make life better than the hell hole Angola once was. Just my opinion.

  • @jplefabuleux The majority of ppl going to die in this prison are going to die there b/c of their own horrific crimes thus they don`t have a right to be picky about food. As for working w/little pay well they owe society more than they can ever work to repay. But for the few that may be innocent I think they`d prefer doing a long honest days wk than lying around waiting to be raped or assaulted. Wk is good for the mind & body.

  • yes, @paisleyyama, i'm sure the 3,700 people destined to die in this prison are just ecstatic about the amazing cost savings on organic food. but then, if i worked up to 16 hours a day for virtually no money, knowing that this was it for the rest of my life i'm not sure how compensated i'd feel by a ripe tomato...angola prison is a slave plantation, with burl cain as its big fat slave owner. and no amount of false christian moralizing can disguise that reality. grow up.

  • Unfortunately all US prisons seem to have a large black pop. But these prisoners are lucky to have what ppl on the outside pay a lot of $ for & that is organically grown food rather than highly processed food. As for the warden I`ve heard that the inmates love him b/c he truly cares for them & will even stand by or hold a man`s hand as he undergoes the death penalty.

  • Does anyone else see the white warden to lots of black inmates working in the field connection?

  • Lose some weight.
