  • Summary

  • In this episode of Bloody Angola, we discuss the stark realities of death and burial within Angola Prison, inspired by Wilbert Rideau's writing which highlight the emotional turmoil of inmates facing mortality. We recount the poignant scenes of funerals and contrast the beauty of Point Lookout cemetery with the grim reality of unclaimed graves raising critical questions about dignity in death and calling attention to the humanity lost within the prison walls and the fears that accompany dying in isolation in America’s bloodiest prison.
