As a Louisiana resident, I’ve visited Angola plenty of times for the Angola Rodeo. I’ve never gotten to see most of the golf course, but the few holes I’ve seen along with just the landscape of the prison itself is beautiful. And a side note, the prisoners sell a lot of the artwork they make throughout the year at the rodeo, and it’s crazy how talented most of them are. Probably spent over $1000 just in woodworkings, wallets, and other stuff they’ve made over there.

A lovely documentary. Very atmospheric and a delight to watch. Rock solid thumbs up.

Read an article about that course. Interesting to see footage of it.

This is sick and a great idea. Sucks a bit that non of the prisoners maintaining the course cant play. I think they should have something like once a month or bi weekly where they get to play (the select few that are min security etc)

Another interesting vid Erik. Great job. I had no idea there was such a thing.

As someone who loves to play golf that would be a living hell if I ended up in a prison where I not only helped build but also maintained such a beautiful course and then was never able to play it.

I wonder what the re-incarnation rate is for people released from this prison. If it’s lower than the average then it’s an effective program, if not it’s modern day slavery.

Great videos. Deserve far more subs then this.. Love the adventures you go on!

I think the Golf course should be used as an incentive for good behavior. Examples, prisoner gets their GRE let them play a round, if the prisoner works a job in the prison and has stayed out of trouble since being there let them play once a month or something. I'm sure its been thought of already, and I sure as hell don't know how to run a prison better than a warden. Just my 2 cents

I bet 99% of the inmates have never touched a golf club in their life. Unless they were bashing someone’s head in with it.

Damn man. That's heavy. But thanks for a great and insightful story.

I can’t even lie, this course is nicer than most of our public courses where I live. It’s a great concept, with the rehabilitation process some of these guys need. But I do believe a round of 3 or even 9 would help with clearing of the mind. Just an OP

Great video, thank you.

Pretty cool video. Good stuff.👍

I've been a long time skier, and just recently pucked up golf. I'm convinced that both sports or activities can be excellent parallels for life. I think a great many of the more peaceful inmates could benefit from walking 18. It's those things that are easy to pick up and near impossible to perfect. But you can get damn close! If you're good and spend enough time with it. It's always infront of you, but you'll never reach it. They also teach you that setbacks and adverse conditions are part of life, and in no way personal towards you. My dad always said you're closer to God on a mountain anyway. He was a ski instructor for alot if years

I was in a identical X house in illinois. Called western correctional.

I wish the UK had some prison governors with the vision of this one, impressive and shows what can be done with some integrity, foresight, vision and pragmatic good sense.

Unfortunately in America there is hardly any focus on rehabilitation in the prison / jail systems. Don't know exactly how without giving it some serious thought but golf could be a great tool to achieve just this.

Oregon state penitentiary in Salem Oregon has a mini golf course in the prison grounds.

I watched the whole video. When I heard that the inmates can’t play golf I realized that is a special type of torture.
