Oklahoma State Prison Rodeo
The World's Only "Behind The Walls" Rodeo in the World

August 15 - 16, 2008

2008 Rodeo Information

As for the rodeo, this is the one time all year the 14,000 seat prison arena is in use, a rare opportunity for the general public to see inside a prison. There are the select few felons, men and women, who, after proving their mettle in a series of real rodeo trials, get to compete against jailbirds from ten of the area’s other prisons.

This rodeo isn’t only for Oklahoma State Penitentiary rough riders--it features inmate cowboys from correctional facilities across Oklahoma and free cowboys from the IPRA.
It’s where real life tough-as-nails cowpokes compete for big thrills and medium-sized bucks. Capitalizing on fear, danger and the public’s taste for spectacle, the rodeo is as American as our justice system. It features thrill-a-minute, death defying acts that we’ve all come to know and love: calf roping and bull riding, steer wrestling and barrel racing, and, of course, grandstanding.

Great pictures! Congrats on the new camera. You use it well. Are those dark specks in the first pics plant or animal?

Your photographs, as usual, are excellent. I think you should pursue a career as a professional photographer, if you already haven't.

I would also like to thank you for your family's service to this country. In the military, the whole family contributes to the defense of this great country; wives, husbands, daughters, and sons.

It's a wonderful thing, and something to be remembered on our Independence Day.

God Bless
