A National Public Radio (NPR) broadcast, Broncos and Boudin: The Angola Prison Rodeo, by the Kitchen Sisters  will have your mouth watering for boudin balls, cracklins, crawfish etouffee, boiled peanuts and more.  This is an interesting piece about the Louisiana State Penitentiary and the Angola Prison Rodeo which originally started in 1964.  Listen to the story featuring the inmate cowboys.
