Those dog/wolves are absolutely beautiful!!! I like the other pics, too. It's so cute how the little prairie dog feels right at home with his company.

That is a good thought you have here and certainly worth mentioning to the city! Me? I wish they would leave!!

Here is one place you don't want to be.

The Walls. OSP. Big Mac. Maximum security and Death Row.
Home of Ol' Sparky, the electric chair.

The Prison Rodeo in August features "Money the Hard Way"~ that's $100 bucks in a bag attached to the bull's horns. That's a lot of money considering their gangpay is $18/month.

Here is some info:


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.
