Angola for Life


There are more than 6,000 men currently imprisoned at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola—three-quarters of them are there for life, and nearly 80 percent are African American. It’s the end of the line for many convicted criminals in Louisiana, which has the highest incarceration rate of any state in the U.S. In this Atlantic original…

Hell they put themselves in there! So why feel sorry for them!

Despite the harsh sentences and prison system, Louisiana has a high rate of crime. Louisiana has one of the highest murder rates in the United States.
I have noticed that many inmates seem to be poorly educated. The causes of crime are complex. Poverty and being poorly educated is a driver of crime.

I was mentored by the guys in this Documentary and they didn't misguide me in the system as you can get easily get lost. They equiped to be back in society and haven't went or even imagined Jail after I met with the consequensess of having the mentallity that Baton Rouge had raised me to have from the influence spread on the society. Thank you God Hicks anf all of the Angola inmates who seen my case as to never lose hope.

My uncle was arrested and sent here back in the mid 90s and was released 3 years ago. He was a very bright man and had everything, just got caught hanging with the wrong crowd and ended up engaging in that wrong itself. After he was released, he never was the same. His mind is not working, he’s clueless.

EVERYBODY IN JAIL & PRISON IS INNOCENT YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS US NO CAPPING

Take note, they established Christian churches to control the population.

Christianity is being used as a tool just as it was always meant to do.

Islam has enslaved the minds of Arabs too. Muslims confuse the prescription as their identity while their original culture is being erased. A lot of Arabs are Illiterate but he’s right about the translation not being accurate and taking advantage of people when they’re vulnerable and receptive to converting. Islam does not translate to peace it translates to obey. Mohammed was a colonizer. Islam was spread the same way Judaism and Christianity were. Rape, genocide, erasing culture, taxes, pedophilia, abuse, sex slaves, torture. Fear, Divide and conquer. Many Arabs are afraid to question the fact that their ancestors were conquered not converted and their history has been rewritten by the energy.

Look. I'm a leftist. If you kill your wife, you should be in jail for life.
