john robertson is head of the angola campus of new orleans baptist seminary bible college. the chapel. building program is more or less but it's so new. that is going to be amazing in the future a follow up study is going to show i predict great reversal. in the chapel fund. is going to may be. a place for inmate ministers to soar. that is going to be indescribably affected. we've only just begun to see you there isn't an oxymoron a church that preaches or the face that proclaims protecting human life you know the only born child all life is sanctity it is precious you know and yet it put these human beings in a position where they're going to get hurt possibly killed you know to raise money for the church is there a conflict of interest here is there a theological conflict no not at all every time i drive up here to teach a class are responding to my call. we're all going to live with certain risk. the rodeo is one of the few ways for these men to help. so they think in order to be able to tell it's worth the risk. will cain has been spreading religion throughout the whole

they're going to sit in angola. for the rest of their lives they're going to dining gola and if their family doesn't come in and remove the remains will be buried there so you're. going to give all three of them only. i've got to. eat. oh and. would you go and do it but it. needs to go oh i didn't. mean jamie oh oh we'd remember me but. you know one of person commits a crime no matter how many times people see you after they don't seem you know they see the crime committed over and over and over again when it's really not there when. i killed a man because i thought he was going to shoot me i cried and i prayed i was so remorseful i didn't want to live for a while. what do the people want to do to me for my actions do they want me to kill myself do they want me to rot in prison for sixty years what will make them feel that i'm remorseful for my actions. maybe if he keep when things maybe if he can be a good model prisoner or maybe somebody to take an interest say here on c n. c. it was almost like the roman days rom

they don't have prison rodeos at any other prison in louisiana but angola why because angola is the only place where people are serving life sentences with no hope of parole no chance of ever getting out these guys who participate in the rodeo have pretty much exhausted every remedy possible they know they're not going anywhere so what do they have to lose nothing you know in the prison is taking advantage of that fact you know the prison knows full well that it in any event there's going to be a certain amount of guys who didn't get it going to get severely hurt possibly killed but that's ok after all they're not human beings as it relates to the rodeo they're just convicts and that's why they dress them up in stripes to remind the spectators don't be a warm to somebody is made by bull it's only a convict. i don't care. if. they're in france. and they think they have a good time. i think it gives them a few moments of feeling free what real value does it have for the average citizen of louisiana how does it make my community safer. how does it serve as an example by deterrent to some yo

nora's henderson spent twenty seven years of angola but never took part in the rodeo today he works as a paralegal in new orleans. just by the grace of god there's nobody has actually been killed in the situation. as they have been maimed i've seen guy as we have been kicked in the face by a homeless kicked in the face by you know who would buy a bull. but some of these guys just continue to put to supply you know what motivates them you know lord knows i know some of them go out there for the simply for the prize money. simply in it's not that it's a fortune it's the fact that in prison one hundred dollars is a lot of money. hundred dollars can sustain a person in prison for years is basic needs for alone time. whether paid for inmate labor is about twenty five cents an hour most inmates are more than willing to clash with the bulls for the biggest prize money some cowboys use they winnings to improve their life in prison some spend it on legal fees of ascended to their families. it's time for a comeback poca the premise is simple the last man sitting at the poker table wins the two h

in the eighteenth century angola was a slave plantation it took its name from the origins of the slaves who came from uncle a in africa. today any incoming prisoners first assigned to hard labor in the jails. no no no pocket knives no cell phones no no weapon. five times a year ten thousand people gather at angola to watch the prison rodeo a rodeo for the prisoners inside the prison they don't started in one hundred sixty five and today it's the only rodeo allowed in the u.s. prison it's gone the while the show in the south it's all sold out. kane is the man behind the success of the rodeo. in the last decade cain has transformed the rodeo into a massive money spinner for his prison. warden k. . a southern baptist is a popular figure in louisiana in two thousand and three his peers voted him warden of the year. i'm ok a pound and i wanted their baby or me and them are the five you know we're in this together i'm doing tam good though it there at the foot by foot and not oppression is there if that we really are are locked together at war i look forward to it the font tab i like to think

bp has really focused in the last year on places like the gulf of mexico, angola, the deep water provinces that are producing a lot of high margin barrels. what it has on the table now, they are not central to the business. they're not going to have as much of an impact. i do not think that it will really have as much of an impact on bp they're hoping that they will still be able to maintain their position in the areas that really matter. >> what is your sense of tony a word? the prime minister or president, when they say that about a cabinet colleague, usually their costs within a matter of weeks. >> it does not mean anything great for saying in the job beyond christmas. you detect a real groundswell of opposition among shareholders, but i think that there is when you talk to them privately. there is a sense that they will have to do a root and branch over all. it is unclear at the moment the timing of that. tony a word is unlikely to stay in his role. we'd just do not know when it will happen. >> facebook's meteoric rise has hit another extraordinary landmark. today they got their 500 mi

that is no threat to the united states not now the cold war is over they're not sending troops to angola i mean come on i mean it's regime change in miami that is really on the table right now they don't want to lose their grip on power and their wealth by the way. well well i actually said that i was very happy for general and the. well let me say that the reason right now that we still have this embargo in cuba the reason the united states has done this and continue this failed policy is because of the d.s. blood brothers in congress and because of ileana ross late them when they want to get reelected they talk about being cubans and what castro in power and outcast in power mean to them and how he took away our houses and he took away our money and he took away our island and took away our land so it's very emotional and we're going to keep voting them in because they are cubans talking and singing our song however it is a failed policy and over sixty percent of the cuban americans actually in miami right now do not want the embargo and they want a region change in cuba we all want to

you know, it's a shame to say that that it's politically safer to drill in angola, mr. president, than it is in our own gulf of mexico. it is hard to believe that prior to this moratorium that 85% of our natural resources in the united states were off limits for drilling. today, 99.9% of everything is off limits in the united states to drill. hard to believe. so all i can say is this -- we're in a fight, and we're going to make it a good fight. and we care, we love our country, we love our state, and we love the industry and our community that we're in. and mr. obama, lift that moratorium. thank you. >> before i close, i also want to recognize from the state legislature, state representative taylor, state representative jonathan terry, and state representative johnny ginn. please join me in thanking them for being here as well. in addition from our statewide officials, just like you heard earlier, we have u.s. senator david vitter with us. thank you, senator, for being here, as well as an attorney general who won't stop fighting for the people of louisiana, a great guy,
