Hidden Kitchens travels to the Louisiana State Penitentiary and the world of unexpected, below-the-radar, down home convict cooking at The Angola Prison Rodeo. The event, held in April and October, draws some seventy thousand people annually to this agricultural prison in a remote corner of the state. Alongside the rodeo, some 43 inmate organizations set up food concessions and sell their delights to the hungry public. Dozens of traditional dishes are prepared and sold by men doing mostly life inside this fertile prison farm. Nearly all the ingredients are grown on the grounds. The Kitchen Sisters and Roman Mars take us inside Angola, amidst the men and the mayhem for a glimpse of these prison hidden kitchens.
