Two of the inmates sitting at the poker table had been convicted of murder. Two others were doing time for armed robbery. The fifth player in the "game"-a large, angry bull-rammed the table, and then turned its attention to the inmates, kicking its hind legs and swinging its massive horns with violent intent. The last prisoner of the four brave enough to remain seated during the bull's rampage was declared the winner, taking $200 back to his cell for his troubles. "Convict Poker" is one of the most popular competitions at the Angola Prison Rodeo, which celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 2014. Warden Burl Cain promotes the rodeo as a highly anticipated perk for the inmates because it encourages discipline at the nation's largest maximum-security prison. Critics of the rodeo see it as
