Abstract:
On September 19, 1922, Beulah M., a thirty-year-old cook, saved a “small child from a vicious cow on Angola.” This event occurred only a few months after her admission to the Louisiana State Penitentiary (LSP), where she was serving a life sentence for alleged murder. The infant was one of the many of the white prison staff's children raised on the penitentiary plantation nestled in a large meander of the Mississippi river. This happy-ending drama featuring a Black woman prisoner and a free white child arose from the “cohabitation” of free white households within the incarcerated population. The incident, quite unexpected in a carceral setting, prompted the penitentiary general manager to place Beulah M. on the “eligibility list” for parole and to grant her “full single good time for meritorious service,” which meant the possibility of an earlier release by a few months. Beulah's action might also have motivated authorities to assign her to be “servant” in the Camp D Captain's house in July 1923, and later to be a nurse in the nine-bedroom “Big House,” occupied by one of the penitentiary staff of higher rank. The peculiar nature of her alleged crime, the beating to death of her seven-year-old Black step-daughter, was apparently not perceived as a deterrent to entrust her to care for white children. Her courageous action toward a white child at Angola might even have been a compelling argument for her early pardon and discharge, which she received only after nine years at Angola, although her plea for a pardon had been rejected at least once before. Beulah M.'s story is the story of a coerced African American domestic laborer in white homes, rewarded for her perceived subservience to the Jim Crow order. It exemplifies one aspect of Black women's experiences of hard labor for the state of Louisiana during the first half of the twentieth century.

Since 1967, prisoners doing hard time at the Louisiana State Penitentiary have volunteered to take part in a rodeo staged for tourists. Few of the inmates have ever ridden a horse before, much less a bucking bronco or bull. Is this spectacle of criminalized bodies per-forming under duress “fun” or public torture?

Abstract:
Abstract As part of the criminal justice reform to reduce prison population, the State of Louisiana undertook an initiative to explore a medical treatment furlough project. The plan was to transition long-term inmates from the prison to long-term care (LTC)). Angola, the largest maximum security prison in the U.S, had over 1000 prisoners 60 years or older. Eighty percent of the prison population is serving a life sentence. Prisoners with significant health and mobility issues were to be considered to be released to off-site facilities with parole supervision. We present lessons learned from exploring all aspects of a possible partnership between a Louisiana long-term care company and the correction department including: conducting site visits at Angola and the long-term care facility; gathering best practice data; exploring a referral process and acuity classification tool; exploring the role of the parole officer; and examining the prison population against the regulations for long-term care facilities from the perspective of the prisoners and current residents. Additional considerations were the impact on the local community and on-going support for services provided, along with staffing, staff training, and security and safety of the facility. After multiple discussions with representative from the Louisiana Department of Health we found the obstacles were too great to implement the program. Exposure to the challenges facing the corrections department and examining how to implement the Act as written was a lesson in the value of viewing an issue from multiple perspectives.

Abstract:
Abstract Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola holds a biannual Arts and Crafts Festival featuring handmade work by inmates. In addition to introducing innovations into vernacular prison art forms, Angola inmates find enormous value in creating works that embody or mimic the everyday images and goods so readily available in the outside world. Such work involves layered acts of appropriation, allowing inmates to sustain a social integrity that, to some degree, neutralizes a status tied solely to incarceration.

Abstract:
The purpose of this dissertation was to conduct an outcomes-based program evaluation for the Louisiana State Penitentiary (Angola) campus of the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. The study included one primary research question, with two subquestions. The primary research question asked to what extent students in the program developed moral judgment consistent with program goals of rehabilitating students and preparing them for effective ministry. The first subquestion asked whether statistically significant differences existed in the moral reasoning of students of different class years. The second subquestion asked whether statistically significant differences existed in the moral reasoning of students of different personality types. A cross-sectional study was conducted with students during the fall of 2005 using the Defining Issues Test 2 (DIT-2) and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) instruments. All 101 program students were invited to participate in the study. To provide a benchmark for student scores, 30 Seminary faculty members were asked to complete the DIT-2. The student response rates were 94% for the DIT-2 instrument and 97% for the MBTI instrument. The response rate for faculty was 20%. After removing two outliers from the freshmen class, statistically significant differences were found in the principled moral reasoning scores (P scores) of freshmen (m = 22.146, sd = 12.002) and juniors (m = 30.274, sd = 13.165). No significant differences were found in moral reasoning based upon personality types. The mean P score among faculty members was 34.02 (sd = 15.25). In response to the primary research question, it was determined student scores did show moral reasoning differences consistent with the program goals. Conclusions reached in this study were limited because of the cross-sectional design. Further research is necessary before conclusions may be generalized beyond the sample.

Abstract:

The purpose of the current content analysis was to identify response trends concerning social connections within the prison community in relation to participation in available programs and activities in 181 surveys completed by long-term inmates incarcerated at Louisiana State Penitentiary in 2003. As social connectivity has been linked to decreased levels of violence and rule infractions, and this group of inmates will likely be the responsibility of the state for the rest of their natural lives, it is important to investigate the connections that they share with other inmates. The current analysis addressed the following three questions: Are the number of programs that inmates participate in and their rating of connection to the prison community related? Which programs do the inmates at Louisiana State Penitentiary view as the most beneficial in aiding their connection to the prison community? What factors do inmates identify in their selected programs as valuable to forming and maintaining social connections within the prison community? In order to answer these questions, survey responses concerning inmate program participation, reasoning behind participation, and indications of connection within the prison community were input into a spreadsheet. The separated data was then subjected to content analysis. The program participation was compared to indicated level of prison connection. Written explanations of participation, in particular programming, were examined for similarities amongst all respondents. Results suggest a positive correlation between program participation and an increased sense of connection with the prison community, as well as concern for the well-being of others. Suggestions for future research include in-person data collection specifically designed to investigate inmate connections with the prison community and program participation, and an interview versus survey structure.

Abstract:
During the 1980s and 1990s, the US prison system was expanding at an unprecedented rate. This research charts how prisoners at the nation’s largest maximum-security prison, the Louisiana State Penitentiary, commonly referred to as Angola, founded the Angola Special Civics Project to collectively organize for prison reform. Using a combination of oral history and archival research, this thesis argues that the Angola Special Civics Project emerged during an era of political opportunity created by the coupling of political openings and contractions. Unlike outside advocates who focused their reform efforts on internal conditions, the Angola Special Civics Project centering of prisoners’ experiential knowledge led them to organize for an end to life sentencing through a combination of research, political education, electoral organizing, and coalition building. This thesis further asserts that their organizing should be conceptualized as a form of prison abolitionist reforms.

Abstract:
The term "exonerated"‖refers to a legal acquittal of a former conviction due to the introduction of new evidence. Since 1989, the number of legal xonerations has increased dramatically due to DNA and other new evidentiary technologies that can demonstrate innocence of formally convicted persons. This research focuses on the lived experience of exoneration and its aftermath through a life history of John Thompson (JT), a New Orleans native, convicted of murder and sentenced to death in 1985. In 2003, after eighteen years in Angola, the Louisiana State Penitentiary, fourteen on death row, JT was exonerated. Exoneration theoretically removes the official stigma of conviction and restores full civil rights on former prisoners such as JT. Yet ―exonerees‖ face all the social, political, and personal problems that characterize the post-release experience of convicted felons. JT‘s experience is an important case of exonerees‘ quest for the restoration of standing, justice and compensation.

Abstract:
Abstract The Introduction sets up the book as a whole. It describes the danger of prison histories that point toward progress, proposing an alternative, thinking of the sounds of the prison over a century. History, then, accumulates from thinking about how the music connects to the working of the prison. It defines “prison music” as the organized sound of laws, policies, missions, and social consequences. In this way, a musical investigation of prison offers a way of listening to the complex dynamics of incarceration as they change over time. The introduction also contextualizes Louisiana State Penitentiary within the rise of mass incarceration, tracking the population growth and disproportionate effects on African American communities.

Abstract:
The introduction opens with an Inside-Out Prison Exchange class in 2019, a college course that brings undergraduate students inside prisons to study with incarcerated students. Reflecting on the rarity of such an encounter, the introduction argues that prisons walls have not always been impermeable, and that permeability has been both a vehicle for social control and a way for prisoners to resist such control. Following a description of a 1968 tour by “traveling ambassadors” from the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola, the introduction explains how clemency, conjugal visits, and furloughs help us understand changing ideas of risk and rehabilitation; allegiances across political categories; geography of prison practices across time and place; connections between penal practices and welfare policies; and prisoners’ sense of their own entitlements, relationships, and transformation.

Abstract:
As tough-on-crime sentencing lengthened prison terms and shrank opportunities for parole, gubernatorial clemency became the last hope for prisoners facing long sentences. In response, prisoners in the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola agitated for clemency. The chapter explores how long-termers mobilized to agitate for mercy by pleading their cases in the penal press or by following the tradition of prisoners working as trusties in the governor’s mansion, one of the last “corridors to freedom” available to prisoners whose chances for release were being foreclosed. The chapter concludes by returning to Mississippi governor Haley Barbour; by the time Barbour authorized his controversial clemencies in 2012, gubernatorial discretion to grant clemency was under attack from both liberals, who sought fairness and equity in uniform policies, and conservatives, who advocated retribution. Barbour’s clemencies were controversial in part because the public had forgotten the long tradition of clemencies as commonplace.

Abstract:
Abstract This uprising by Cuban nationals lasted 11 days, involved more than 100 hostages, and required protracted negotiations to resolve. It occurred concurrently with a nine-day disturbance, also by Cuban nationals, at the Federal Detention Center, Oakdale, Louisiana. The combined cost of the two riots to the federal government was over $100 million. (Both the Atlanta and Oakdale facilities are part of the Bureau of Prisons [BOP], U.S. Department of Justice.) Like the Attica riot of 15 years earlier, the Atlanta and Oakdale incidents became benchmarks against which to compare other prison disturbances and strategies to resolve them. The BOP itself undertook the task of redesigning its emergency response strategy based on what it learned from Atlanta and Oakdale. Those changes were put to the test in the summer of 1991 when Cuban detainees rioted at Talladega, Alabama (see chapter 3).
