Cowboy prison. Toughest prison in the U.S.

Literally the scariest place in the country.

Old school dope with the art

Anytime someone’s spending life in prison it’s sad. But it’s good to go and drop a couple hundred at the rodeo knowing that ur giving these guys some humandecency via cold hard cash and respect for bravery in the rodeo. Those cheers and hearing women screaming for them prolly the best memories these guys get in a year

[@markalexwhite]

You realise you are expressing empathy for murderers!!!?

[@calebsmith462]

All life is deserving of some degree of empathy
