In 2006, female inmates were allowed to participate for the first time. In a state with the highest female incarceration rate in the country, these women share common experiences such as broken homes, drug abuse and alienation from their children.

Prisoners compete on wild-broncs and bucking bulls, risking life-long injuries.
